Synopsis

Amazon.com
Space music is a cosmological odyssey in sound that expands your imagination and leaves it floating in an extended state of weightless wonder, and rarely is it more satisfying than when Jonn Serrie is at the controls. Serrie, an Atlanta-area composer who learned his mind-stretching craft while creating soundscapes for planetarium exhibitions, is acknowledged as one of the brightest stars in the space-music constellation, and if you have yet to experience any of his sound probes into deepest space, it's hard to imagine a better introductory package than Century Seasons. The two-disc compilation showcases Serrie's pre-2000 work, sampling 10 recordings and shrewdly focusing on the keyboardist's core intergalactic sound, largely overlooking Serrie's occasional flirtations with pop-influenced romanticism. Instead, the package opens with a blissfully slow drift of sound, "Gentle the Night," from Serrie's seminal debut disc, And the Stars Go with You, and sustains a state of nearly undisturbed peace for more than two hours. Such recordings make a person glad headphones were created. Outstanding. --Terry Wood

CD Reviews

A superior Deep Space compilation
M. Watkins | 01/05/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This cd is a compilation from previous

releases - releases which contained a mixture

of deep space music as well as some of Jonn's

more romanticly inclined music. Recognizing that

a large portion of his audience desired a purer

and more consistant release of his space music,

Serrie released Century Seasons.

If you don't have this double cd,it is truely worth

owning. Serrie is clearly among the very best

at what he does, and what he does rewards the ear

with every listening.



Other releases in this vein include:

Planetary Chronicles Vol. 1;

Planetary Chronicles Vol. 2;

And The Stars Go With You;

and his most recent: Stargazer's Journey
