Between the spaces of ambient space and ambient elctronica is a world of rythmic elctronic music like Xylon, Stryke and Chicane. John Stanford joins the powerful positive energizing world of cool grooves, enlightening melodies and inventive transforming flow of continual trance-like journey through the extensive and fulfilling pieces. Deep Space is not a space ambient album, as the title may suggest, but does fulfill an act of atmosphere and energy. The astronauts voices over the radio are spliced in as not annoying voices, but well crafted tones which add to the overall piece (especially with "Sea of Tranquility"). Stanford has reached the strong level of mixing electronic dance music into the cool areas of energizing yet relaxing atmosphere. The more jazz style chords in "Aurora" to the thrusting energy of "Far Centaurus" make this album a wonderful driving album as well as the well added addition to the ever-changing powerful world of electronic music.
