Lush, beautiful synth ambience forms the major part of Analogue Kid's 'Live Science' album. The record flows along with a soft, moody vibe, with enough variation to keep the record from ever approaching boredom, but never losing its singular essence and feel. Much of the synth work is light and airy sounding, so expect no sub bass rumbling drones; rather, this is music to drift away to. Opener Town Square provides the warmest, most inviting pads on the record, and Thorpe Cloud features some tasteful guitar work from Dave Edwards, along with a slow moving synth sequence. A bizarre about-turn in the centre of Manor Park, moving from engaging melodies into a nervous drone and sequence section, is a striking moment, made even more memorable by the beautiful piano outro to the track.The second half of the album offers longer pieces to the first, closing with the record's strongest moment, the beautiful Brindley Heath pt 2. Pads wash over and a improvised flute melody leads the piece towards a beautiful piano outro, ending another fine album from AmbientLive.

"Ambient Pathways"
For the first time the "point 5" Ambient album is a 2CD set. The first album contains Ambient tracks, in a continuous mix. Over 70 minutes of drift-away bliss. Then there is a second Album consisting of two (very long) Phrozenlight tracks.
