Steve Moore - Pangaea Ultima

Never heard of him (or Zombi) until recently but I've been slowly getting into his solo stuff via the gateway drugs that were his releases on L.I.E.S. and Future Times. Looking forward to this one now.

In some respects, the attitude and ambition of Pangaea Ultima places this work in a similar canon as the mythic territory of Tangerine Dreams Phaedra or the cosmic imaginations of Michael Stearns Planetary Unfolding, and yet it evades both comparisons as easily. There is something mysteriously self-contained, urgent that pervades these assemblages of tracks. Logotone exhibits Moores ability to stretch the sensibilities of melodic and chordal phrasing to limits that Schulze or Alan Hawkshaw wouldnt have gone. The compositions on Pangaea Ultima, like Planetwalk and Nemesis are more tightly coiled even in their constant straining to explode outwards to the stars beyond. And when Moore plays with rhythms, they resemble the idiosyncratic mould of his releases for Long Island Electrical Systems, Future Times and Kompakt, and yet seem to push even further towards an eerie sparseness yet to be fully tapped. If there are 4/4 kicks on Pangaea Ultima, like on Deep Time and the title track, its for a world skewed on a bent axis. Musically, this is a record of both microscopic and macroscopic reward, an absorbing listen that betrays the albums 60 minutes of length.

His previous solo effort was FUCKING great.

Masturbating furiously in anticipation.

Great news. Light Echoes was amazing.

i'm also a fan and am looking forward to this release and to zombi opening up for goblin later this year, should be a good show.

Looks like this is coming a bit early, I got the message that my LPs shipped today and the download code to boot. Burned a CD as I had a long drive ahead and man, after a single listen I possibly like it more than Light Echoes already, it's a real trip.

Steve sure knows how to tickle those synthesizers.

Loving his Zen Spiders 12" lately

and if Deep Time is any indication this new album should be heavy
