Issue 21 of the monthly collaborative synthesizer music CD series completes the trilogy started with MS10 “Rise of the Robots” and MS15 “Battle of The Robots”. Eons later, robots dominate the planet under the reign of a Robot Emperor, leaving the chaotic times of the humans far behind. Massive sweeps of synthesizer sound, thrilling sequences and robotic voices picture life on the robot planet, until the urge comes to leave for the stars…
One of the largest casts yet of collaborators from the UK, European, US and South American synth music scenes join in, one creating developing textures, rhythms or sequences while the next adds melodies, abstract sounds or dialog samples. There’s plenty to appeal for lovers of the TANGERINE DREAM “Sessions”, JEAN-MICHEL JARRE, VANGELIS, KRAFTWERK, KLAUS SCHULZE, and even HELDON or JAN HAMMER with touches of electronic jazz and avant-garde classical added by Rob Harrison (of Z Machine) and Hannah Chappell (of Cellistica) guesting on sax and cello.

We are amazed therefore that almost from the very beginning of this mammoth seventy-seven minute piece we get sequences. All rather fine they are too, sounding distinctly Schulzian, in a restrained rather rumbling way. In the background little cosmic effects hiss and twitter. Actually there seems to be quite a bit of movement in the sequence as it morphs this way and that. By the hour mark all returns to atmospherics. I suppose it's quite tranquil but there does seem to be a darker edge to it. The pulsations haven't left us completely however as they do return, initially so low in the mix they were more of an imagination but slowly they once again start to form a more prominent part in the overall flow until they are quite positively skipping along.
The 'chatter' makes one last appearance at around the seventy-minute mark. To me it seems that the last half-minute is pure silence, or is that my ears just getting too old?
I enjoyed this album very much and of those I have heard by Phrozenlight so far it is certainly my favourite. It must be said however that with such a long track where the changes are so subtle it is hard to completely concentrate on it throughout its duration.
My mind kept wandering but there is no doubt that it was a supremely relaxing experience.

Tranquil tones float above windy effects on the well titled 'Infinite Void'. You can just imagine being suspended in nothingness but seeing strange lights and nebulae clouds in the far away distance. As you will have probably guessed already this is a very atmospheric 'ambient' album. It's all about evolving soundscapes without a rhythm or sequence to be heard. The feel of desolation and being on the edge of things but not taking any part persist throughout. The title track continues with what to me appeared like a very similar palette of sounds thus mood and feel to the opener, though if anything the feeling of isolation is even greater. Even with such images coming to mind however the feeling isn't cold. There is a warmth to proceedings. We might be alone and devoid of stimuli but even so there is a sort of comforting numbness to it all. 'Arctic Snow' kicks off with warbling sounds and the faintest of hints of a wolf howl. I suppose there is a slightly more crystalline feel to proceedings but the shifting drones that provide the main base blanket over which the subtle effects shimmer keeps up the consistency from the proceeding tracks. 'Phase One' is even 'windier' than its predecessors and is also a little more percussive as metallic clangs punctuate a backing which is slightly more aggressive sounding and edgier than anything else on the CD.
One of the most 'spaced out' albums you are ever likely to hear.
