Here’s a breakdown of the ten tracks on the album:
Neptune In Meditation: Neptune In Meditation kicks off the album with chilled ambient textures, easing into a laidback 4/4 beat that highlights an insistent bass guitar riff. This low end supports the swirling ambient synth textures and jazz-fusion electric piano chords that gradually build within this track.
Mellolicious: Mellolicious is the ultimate laidback, mellow soundtrack. It’s slow, sensual and chilled as f*ck, with guitar lines interwoven with a 60s-style muted bass and ambient, retro synth sounds with a distinctly Gallic vibe.
Live For The Sunset: Live For The Sunset is a call to appreciate those warming rays as the sun dips over the horizon. Think evenings at the beach and holiday vibes, with subtle tabla percussion leading you into a mellow 4/4 beat and ambient synth arpeggios. Feel the depth of the bassline and the atmospheric sounds of the sea washing over you.
Journey To The Next Dimension: Journey To The Next Dimension takes you on a trip through reverberating guitar lines and dub-reggae-style tape echo effects, with jazz fusion lead guitar thrown into the mix along the way. The beats are slow, heavy and funky, locking into the syncopated bassline that holds the track together.
Poseidon’s Lair: Poseidon’s Lair takes you beneath the crashing waves of the ocean, with reversed guitar and synth textures intermingling as the pulse of the kick drum provides the heartbeat to this underwater-themed track.
When Will The Rain End?: Relax and listen to the sounds of raindrops as this dub-inspired track wraps you up in the dry. A warm, rounded bass guitar fills out the low end, as reggae-influenced melodica lines soar and disappear among the electronic atmospherics and lolloping drum breaks.
Aquamarine: Aquamarine continues the theme of water, with evolving synth arpeggios and distant guitars evoking the blue-green colours of the ocean. A pulsing synth swoops and fades as the filters open and close, adding a metronomic precision to the rhythm of the track.
Zero Gravity (Downtempo): Zero Gravity is a downtempo reworking of a drum & bass track, with the frenetic breaks replaced with a laidback, mellow groove. Liquid ambient synths set the backdrop for this spacey exploration, with fusion-style electronic piano and lead synth adding a melodic, relaxing, slow-motion feel to the whole track.
From A To Zen: From A To Zen takes you on the pathway to relaxation, with random synth bells and atmospheric textures mixing with percussion and processed electronic drum sounds to create a slow, soothing vibe for this track. Close your eyes, lie back and let the piano melody take you to somewhere new and restful.
Echoes Of Tomorrow: Echoes Of Tomorrow’s teutonic-style synth melodies bounce and wash over you against the backdrop of smooth, ambient, electronic strings and the precise beats and pulse of the synthetic drums. Relax, take a deep breath and lose yourself in these echoes of tomorrow and beyond.
