Artists: Airsculpture P: 1998 Rare and awesome synth/ambient album from Airsculpture. Similar to late 70's, early 80's era Tangerine Dream with plenty of sequencers and dark, ambient soundscapes. If you enjoyed 'Rubycon', 'Encore', 'Poland' or 'Logos' by TD then this will please. Here the last copy of the original manufactured CD!
Artists: Alhedion P: 2001 Little known gem, low key instrumental album of synthesizer music in the tradition Berlin school style of Tangerine Dream and others. Nice melodies, good atmosphere. This one is a grower, I found it ordinary at first but now it's a favorite. Alternates sequencer based melodic passages with spacier sections. Label no longer exists, disc may be hard to find, not sure it is still in print - worth it if you can find it, though. Here the last copy!
Artist: Alien Nature + Stan Dart P: 2015 Alien Nature´s and Stan Dart´s first cooperation shows their talent of evolving each unique style of Electronic Space Rock (Alien Nature) and Cinematic Electronic Chill Art (Stan Dart) to a new genre of powerful melodic Electronic Rock, that is full of rhythm, bass and melody. Kind of electronic IDM, put the VOLUME UP!!! Here the last copy!
Artist: Alio Die P: 2018 LTD 150 This album was recorded at the Kalisz Ambient Festiwal in Poland. A beautiful journey from start to finish. Here the last copies!
Artist: Alpha Wave Movement P: 1998 "Concept of Motion" finds Kyryluk exploring a wide range of styles. The album starts with a great upbeat grabber, "Linear Perspective." The sequencers come fast and furious, staccato style. The synth bass, the arrangement, everything on this song is really fun. There is so much going on that it's a wonder it doesn't end up a chaotic mess, but somehow it succeeds very well. The energy is infectious. Though "Linear Perspectives" is very good, my favorite songs on "Concept of Motion" are the slower, floating pieces. "Across the Axis" is a good mid-tempo piece with some cool sound effects. "Ocean of Dreams" is a very interesting selection, with sudden key changes and simple, effective piano leads that remind me of Klaus Schulze. This song starts in a floating frame of mind, but like most of the album, succumbs to a fair amount of percussion. At its heart, "Concept of Motion" is a expression of constant activity, and it will be interesting to see where this musical motion finds the next Alpha Wave Movement release. Here the last copy!
Artist: Alquimia + Roedelius P: 1999 Here the CD-single Version. This album is the meeting between Hans-Joachim Roedelius, German pioneer of the electronic avant garde, and Alquimia, a versatile Mexican artist who has explored the possibilities of synthesizers as well as those of her voice in various innovative projects. This unusual collaboration between them both has resulted in a likewise remarkable CD. There are melodic passages of a great emotional strength, which could be defined as a fusion of Atmospheric Pop and World Music. And among them both, others of a mysterious, even dreary character coexist, with a slow development and a structure ranging from Ambient to mystic ritual music. Alquimia's voice, which she herself processes electronically in various ways, turns out to be unearthly at times, and very much earthly in other occasions, perfectly fitting with the electronic textures and exotic atmospheres.

Artist: Amir Baghiri P: 1998 Gradually drifts from light sequencer pieces to quieter, ambient sound-worlds. A mixture of Roach/ Rich tribalisms and gorgeous shapelessness. Here the last copy of the first Arya Label Version!
Artist: Andreas Leifeld P: 1991 Futuristic in conception and execution, this album still harkens back to the sequencer-driven sound of the German electronic school. Yet unlike Tangerine Dream, Leifeld has managed to add rock and pop influences without losing his progressive edge. His two-part suite "African Dreams" delves into the techno-tribal realm. He also adds some amusing political cynicism on the final selection, "Same Old Game," by layering recorded voice fragments of George Bush's most banal catchphrases over combat sounds and a brooding, almost sinister electronic score. Here the last copy!
Artist: Andreas Leifeld P: 1990 These are nice synthesizertracks, first released on Bernd Kistenmachers Musique Intemporelle label way back in 1990. The music shows the different styles and talents of Leifeld on a very versatile CD with tracks, that have a little eastern influence. Here the last copy!
Artist: Andreas Leifeld P: 1993 Catchy, rhythmic tracks. Here the last copy!
Artist: Andy Pickford P: 1995 It contains over an hour's worth of remarkable and evocative electronica music listening, and remains one of the most important albums to modern electronic music and its subgenres ever released. Here the last copy!
Artist: Andy Pickford P: 1994 This sounds like the followup to Replicant. A real gem with the same powerful, catchy melodies. One of the best electronic CDs ever. Pickford composes tracks in the Blade Runner style with his own melodies and rhythms. Very catchy and brilliant. Here the last copy!
Artist: Andy Pickford P: 1997 LTD 500 All Material composed, performed and procued by Andy Pickford. Recorded live (except tracks 9 & 10) at Derby Guildhall, UK, between 1994 and 1996. Cathedral restored to its full glory at the Citadel. Here the last copies!
Artist: Andy Pickford P: 1996 Opening with the title track, we have an intro by Ashley Franklin (BBC Radio Derby) "It's going to be a stunning show I'm sure". The first thing apparent is that this music has been heard before. Much wracking of brains leads me to believe that this is a reworking of 'Twilight in Valhalla' from 'Terraformer', a much more upbeat and dancey version. 'Night of the Long Knives' will be familiar to Sequences subscribers. It's classic Pickford with heavy driving, but at the same time melodic, sequences. Next comes 'Topaz', with its catchy intro (try it LOUD on headphones!). As the track develops it again harks back to the 'Terraformer' period, with synth washes evolving into some heavy guitar sounds. Tracks 4 & 5 are a bit of a conundrum, the running order having been inadvertently reversed on the sleeve listing. Instead of correcting the error, a card has been enclosed pointing out the mistake and perhaps making this first pressing a collector's item! The version of 'Apocalypse of Love' featured here is Andy's own interpretation, not the Beaumont Hannant / Delta versions which were previously released. After repeated listenings I'm sure there's the distinct sound of TD style synths akin to 'Thru Metamorphic Rocks'. 'Space to Breathe' opens with gentle piano it develops into a melodic flowing track which is quite interesting, but seems to be lacking in something. Referring to TD again, it does seem reminiscent of some of their later works - so perhaps this is why! 'Annihilator' opens with phone call humour Pickford-style and turns out to be a much better track with light bubbly synths and heavenly voices developing into a very distinctive and powerful synth pattern producing another very upbeat outing. With a title like 'Sarcophagus' you expect a deep, dark, doomy sound and this piece duly delivers. 'Solitudes Shadow' opens with more 'Metamorphic' TD sounds before introducing a 'Maelstrom' style sequence and some of Andy's "singy bits". This is true Pickford power with lead synths overlaying a powerful driving sequence. A great track concluding with a thunderstorm which runs into the final track 'Reflections', and what a contrast here. A classical, sentimental piece which wouldn't be out of place on Radio 2. Don't let this put you off though, it does grow on you! Overall 'Xenomorph' doesn't have the immediate appeal of 'Maelstrom'. It lacks a "storming" track with the dimensions of 'Hells Gate' or 'Tetsuo' and it doesn't have a track to match the beauty of 'Cathedral'. But it's a damn sight better than a lot of other releases lately! A couple of closing points. If you like 'Annihilator', look out for a release in the near future (hopefully) by Julian Bishop whose track 'The Sentinel' is very much like this. Finally, if I'm right with my TD references in the review, I'm perplexed by Andy's enthusiasm to "slag off" the so called "retro" artists. I believe that "retro" is an unfortunate phrase for what many believe is the classic form of Electronic Music, and it certainly has a place in today's EM. After all, Andy wouldn't want everyone to copy him would he? (Steve Smith) Here the last copies!
Artist: Arcane P: 1999 Lovers of the early works of Tangerine Dream will likely love this release too. Not only are there several similarities in compositions - although a bit more 'mature' - the used sounds will often be very familiar too. An excellent initiative and by ricochet an excellent opportunity to put the hands and the ears on a wonderful album which transcends the periods of the Dream, from 1973 till 1982. Here the last copy!
Artist: Arcanum P: 2000 This release is a combination of two discs. Disc one is the soundtrack with the spoken book. Disc two is the soundtrack without the spoken word. It is a kind of dark electronic music. Here the last copy!
