Search - Eastern Sun :: In Emptiness

BPM Magazine Review

Dubfunk | Los Angeles | 04/04/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The debut from Eastern Sun draws you into an intriguing web of solitude in the tradition of ambitronica masters like Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and Future Sound of London. Producers Brian Saitzyk and John Kelley from Moontribe fame have created a monumental soundtrack full of light and darkness. "Rapture at Sea" is an instant anthemic downtempo classic full of sonic grace and dubbed out rhythm. Tracks like "Beautiful Being" and "Northern Vision" introduce organics like vocals and guitars into the midst of lush electronic pads and electro beats. Eastern influenced "To the Sun" is a dark, sonically twisted trip down the River Ganges. Much deeper than say a Café Del Mar comp, the production is nice and glitchy as digital trickles of IDM make sure the listener is always challenged. As a whole, In Emptiness is an impressive accomplishment with uplifting substance residing in the beautiful void."

Great music

"I downloaded the songs in this album after reviewing them in amazon, I must say I wasn't sure if I'd like all the songs but after listening to them these are some of my fav new tracks to listen to while I work / etc. Thumbs up from me."
