Notes
Graphic and sound designer, Magnus Birgersson from Gothenburg in Sweden, a country well noticed for its electronic composer and its peculiar spacey sound, presents his first production under the name of Solar Field. This excellent artist works at ambient music in a cinematographic perspective. Sensual and deep ballads, trip hop rhythms, distant acid melodies are what makes Solar Fields a unique artist. Although inspired by composers like Future Sound of London, Biosphere, Orb, Klaus Schulze, Magnus Birgersson, delivers a complete masterpiece in 14 movements.

Edited 7 years agoFairly different than post-2003 Solar Fields output. This album is a bit moodier than the rest, perhaps a bit more tense at times. It strays away from the docile morning sounds Ultimae is known for, only to return there in the end. Personally, I enjoy it the most out of all the Solar Fields output. Stellar.
"turn inside out... dissolve into a sea of energy..." -
Owning most Ultimae releases I have to be frank; I don't offer all equal playing time. Reflective Frequencies, for instance, is one album I've never really taken a fancy to. Not that there is anything wrong with it. Chilled, dreamy, and amibient, it fits the Ultimae bill, but I appreciate a little more action.
Blue Light and Red Vortex therefore climbs well up my ladder of appreciation. This is still chill but with edge. Likewise Zone 12 easily provides atmosphere for a daze, but one for floating, not vegetalizing. Outlined Surfaces likewise.
As for the remainder, well, put on at the right hour they may serve as a nice back drop, but I have to be inspired to let this take me anywhere far. -
Edited 18 years agoThe first album by Solar Fields reminds me very much of a soundtrack to some sci-fi PC game from the 90s. Not any in particular one, just the overall sound and mood. This album is a good fusion of downtempo and IDM. He became more ambient with later releases. The obvious influence of space is apparent here with the artwork and track titles (Red Vortex). I'd say I enjoy his later work better but this is a very worthy humble beginning. Tracks like Blue Light and Inherit Velocity really get me in the mood to watch a sci-fi movie with their deep, space-like rhythm. As one of Ultimae's first releases, this one is getting harder to find.
