Cavestar - Cavestar 1997 torrent

Cavestar is an interesting debut, and a bit more diverse than the usual ambient-trance for which Mindspore Records is known. Most tracks have the sci-fi samples, moderate rhythm, world-music percussion, and ambient strings, which is practically de rigeur for the genre, but vocalist Mona Moore\\\'s presence on two tracks provides a nice respite. On several other tracks, the percussion grows noisy and practically red-lines, which is also nice to hear when most albums of the sort appear to want to lull you to sleep instead of actually divert you with the music. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide



A warm and lovely fusion of tribal-ambiance and scintillating soundscapes, this brilliantly creative, enigmatic record will certainly please fans of James Asher\\\'s Feet In The Soil and Steve Roach\\\'s Dreamtime Return. Its softly rounded rhythms urge one\\\'s feet to wander through lush jungle landscapes into a magical, forgotten realm where the music radiates with a meditative, cocooning pulse from the earth itself. On \\\"The Visitation,\\\" an enchanter\\\'s mesmerizing words -- \\\"meteorites...optical illusions...hallucinations...weather balloons\\\" -- is ritually woven through gently percolating percussion. Exotically sweet sax and violin strains, hushed murmurs, soft keyboard swirls, and luminescent aural shadings layer into floating atmospheres for a truly transformative listening experience.
