  • Afterlife – Ambient Meditations – The Ambient Zone

    I had been so busy with the assumption that Afterlife produced certain sounds that fitted into particular styles of music – notably Balearic etc etc – I hadn’t even realised that Ambient wasn’t one of the genres touched upon. Which in a way seems rather strange as you would imagine it to be a natural…

  • Afterlife – Baywatch – Subatomic

    This excellent new EP from Afterlife does just what you would hope casting aside the expected, surprising your senses in a multitude of refreshing ways. Producing a lifetime of soul searching music is a quality in itself but when it comes in this calibre it’s something we can all join in celebrating. Fly opens the…

  • Afterlife – Resistance – Subatomic

    The bass throb igniting the opening bars of Resistance says more in seconds than a life time of evocative words. This feels like the point at which Afterlife has transformed their linage of ideas into defiantly something else. Perhaps that’s an abstract notion but you can hear the amalgamation of all thats gone before blossom…

  • Afterlife – Into The Heat – Subatomic

    Talk about perfect timing. Just as the summer heat ignites thoughts of sunnier climbs Afterlife arrives with this latest instalment of refreshments. Into The Heat begins via sun soaked rays suggesting a cosmic refrain, with echoed voices pulsating alongside the rhythm of generous percussion and soaring, celebratory keys. The expansive sounds which fuel Wanderlust then…

  • Afterlife – Burning Man EP – Subatomic UK

    The end is where we start from. Echoing Elliot’s timely vision is a sound place to begin this next instalment of compositions designed explicitly by Steve Miller aka Afterlife. Four equally seductive numbers quench the thirst for all things musical beginning with the sublime title track: Burning Man. Probing at thoughts of environmentally sustainability, which…

  • Afterlife – Naif EP – Subatomic

    At the core of the music created by Afterlife life exists somewhere between lost and found. Looking inward, forever reaching out. Capturing moments as if they were yours to live, a shared experience if you will. The title track, Naif can be located on a sunny upland offsetting its sunshine rhythms with brushes of grainy…

  • Afterlife – Red Moon – Subatomic

    Once upon a time you might smoke something. Today, maybe you look up at the blue, sunshine sky to get your satisfaction. Either way this tranquil, yet probing set of music plugs neatly into the lineage of sublime, chilled music that you can all too easily apply the imaginary word Ibiza too. Red Moon sees…

  • Afterlife – Everything Is Now – Subatomic

    Music is about feeling. Right? The bottom line is where the depths of emotion reach out to. It may cause you to feel a, b, or c (maybe all three at once). Some music you listen to, you nod your head, and it passes by. Neither really here nor there. Functional cause and effect. Then…

  • Steve Miller (Afterlife) Q&A

    Welcome back to Magazine Sixty, Steve. You are in the process of crowdfunding a vinyl release of your Afterlife album Speck Of Gold from 2003. So the first question is why have you decided to revisit that particular album in 2018? Earlier this year I created a post on social media asking fans what they…
