manmower Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Never heard of him (or Zombi) until recently but I've been slowly getting into his solo stuff via the gateway drugs that were his releases on L.I.E.S. and Future Times. Looking forward to this one now. https://soundcloud.com/stevemoore2600/deep-time In some respects, the attitude and ambition of Pangaea Ultima places this work in a similar canon as the mythic territory of Tangerine Dreams Phaedra or the cosmic imaginations of Michael Stearns Planetary Unfolding, and yet it evades both comparisons as easily. There is something mysteriously self-contained, urgent that pervades these assemblages of tracks. Logotone exhibits Moores ability to stretch the sensibilities of melodic and chordal phrasing to limits that Schulze or Alan Hawkshaw wouldnt have gone. The compositions on Pangaea Ultima, like Planetwalk and Nemesis are more tightly coiled even in their constant straining to explode outwards to the stars beyond. And when Moore plays with rhythms, they resemble the idiosyncratic mould of his releases for Long Island Electrical Systems, Future Times and Kompakt, and yet seem to push even further towards an eerie sparseness yet to be fully tapped. If there are 4/4 kicks on Pangaea Ultima, like on Deep Time and the title track, its for a world skewed on a bent axis. Musically, this is a record of both microscopic and macroscopic reward, an absorbing listen that betrays the albums 60 minutes of length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadow GriZZly Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 His previous solo effort was FUCKING great. Masturbating furiously in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manmower Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Looks like this is coming a bit early, I got the message that my LPs shipped today and the download code to boot. Burned a CD as I had a long drive ahead and man, after a single listen I possibly like it more than Light Echoes already, it's a real trip.
