Various Artists – Reflections 07 – Reflections
If you’re are looking for direction but find it difficult to ask try the exquisite notes peppering To Where Dreams Are, created via the fall in love landscapes of surrounding sound by Nourey. The detail lies very much within the uplifting (in the genuine sense of the word) breath of vision as an expanse of…

Afterlife – Timeframes – Subatomic UK
The inescapable difference between the music produced by Afterlife and that of so many others in this field is simply depth of musical vision. Found in places and locations where you can truly lose yourself in. Plus enquiry, such is the obvious thirst for knowledge. You can feel it as each layer unfolds, each weaving…

Afterlife – Halucinomat – Subatomic
By transcending the will to connect universally this invaluable series of music from Afterlife seeks out new sonic pastures with each consequent release. However, at this point given the enormity of bland ideas masquerading under the guise of electronic dance music where arrangements, impersonated sounds and cliqued provocations (not to mention the notion that you…

Afterlife – All I Wanted – Subatomic
Maybe it’s time to reappraise the words Chill-Out.

Driven by a slinky rhythm set the moods created are both warmly melodic, playfully inquisitive as Hush Forever’s whispered intentions…

Attention to detail. Attention to life. Afterlife continue a ceaseless soundtracking of the seasons with this latest collection which as the title states is a timely reminder of the importance of the source. Mother Nature Land pulses with strident drums and an almighty blast of heavenly persuasion in the form of cool chords, sweet strings…

Afterlife – Mahalo EP – Subatomic
Mahalo sounds like the party has already started. Dancing with crazy pleasure, lost in a tomorrow of future Jazz incantations, sharp beats and smooth chords talking up soulful yesterday’s while notes melt together celebrating. The title track from this latest collection is, and I seem to be repeating the words again, one of his finest…

Afterlife – Rising Up – Subatomic
A song for our times. Rising Up sums up the yin and yang transcribing the capacity of music to effect the possibility of positive change. I think this has to be one of my favourite Afterlife compositions to date, something to do with that meandering, warm bass and pads accompanied by a summer of excitement…
