Artist: Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen P: 2019 With TOWARD THE HORIZON, Craig Padilla and Marvin Allen have created an inspiring atmosphere of explosive melodies, classic Berlin school sequencing, electric guitar, and haunting ambient synthscapes that electronic, ambient, and rock music fans will thoroughly appreciate. From the opening guitar strain that shines like a familiar diamond, to the peaceful electronic meditation that marks the album’s exit, TOWARD THE HORIZON ebbs and flows with an adventurous energy; always moving, onward and outward through unknown realms, ever forward to the next farthest destination.
Artist: David Parsons P: 2004 This release from 2004 features 63 minutes of ambient soundscapes. New Zealander Parsons explores the Far East with his electronic compositions. Vaporous textures drift into audibility, evoking slowly forming cloudbanks that gradually encompass the sky with their calming tonalities. Gently growling synthesizers season this slowburn with a seething undercurrent of anticipation. With the third track, the music adopts a more substantial presence. Violin strains lend a mournful edge to the chugging tempos. Periodic e-perc mixes with ethnic percussives, generating an exotic flair that is enhanced by the lilt of a tranquilizing sitar. The violin and sitar interplay with soothing ease, injecting a mild urgency to the drifting pastiche. After a return to minimalist ambience, the music takes another upward boost as lively rhythms patter away to generate a blend of contemporary electronic music with easygoing soundscapes. The percussion goads the melody along with comfortable effect, while violin reemerges to color the tune with a melancholy touch of yearning. The presence of ascending keyboard riffs gives the music a softly dramatic promise. The CD concludes with a strictly ambient piece that makes diligent use of elongated soundscapes and surging puffs of steam-powered drive. Resolutely aerial in nature, this music pleasantly connects far-flung lands with the heavens.
