With track one "Mapping the Heavens" we begin a journey through other worlds, a simple question used to open our minds to the possibilities of life on other planets. Lush synth tones caress the senses, a feeling of movement, the slow passage of time. The mood builds in track two "Distant Signals", leading into a thick groove that draws you in, pulling you into a new atmosphere, a new environment. "Liquid Cosmos" continues your journey, a beguiling arpegio playing in the distance, a wash of synth, and the occasional chime. Breathtaking. It goes on, with each new piece another alien landscape taking form, a new land to discover. From dense ice worlds to planets where clouds billow and fold in spiralling patterns, "A Distant Signal" provides the soundtrack to a thousand new vistas, a thousand new sights. Space music at it's finest... "A Distant Signal" is available now at *ping things*, along with a number of other titles by Alpha Wave Movement. Buy two or more discs by AWM and get a free copy of "Nomadic Impressions" by Open Canvas while supplies last.
