Memory Garden: New Age For Old Worlds
About this item
Good ambient will always be a comfort blanket during harsh times. Whether from a global or more personal perspective. This collection on Secrets of Sound brings together some real dons of the genre, from Mark Barrott - to Steve Roach, and sequences them into one soothing, calming trip that touches on all different sub-sounds and styles from New Age to celestial. A spoken word intro from long-running ambient radio Jaroslav Kovaracek sets the scene before you're then cast adrift in supreme sonic lushness.
STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: Deep ambient echoes, swells of FM synth and abandoned crystal shop vibes on this beautiful selection of instrumentals from Lisbon's Secrets Of Sound. There are wisps of rhythm and Balearic groove, but the majority of pieces here never stray too far from eyes-closed hallucinatory euphoria. Off we go...
