Title:
Horizons
Label:
Harmonic Resonance Recordings
Released:
September 2014
Gregory
Kyryluk has
released music under various monikers since the early 90's on labels
such as Groove
Unlimited, Silent
Records,
Waveform
Records,
Spiralight and his own label Harmonic
Resonance Recordings.
This
collection of recordings has been created over a number of years
until the point Gregory felt they could be released as a cohesive
whole where the tracks flow from one to the next throughout the
album.
The
album begins with the title track an excursion into deep space
ambience with almost orchestral feel adding drums in places and
dropping into melodic key breakdowns at others. This is followed by
'Traveller' which sounds like a melting pot of Tangerine Dream, Klaus
Schulze and Ozric Tentacles without the guitars wonderful stuff.
'Impressions'
begins with an intro where the synths wash over you before deep
chords switch the vibe which once again appears
to be heavily influenced by the German style of space music. This time perhaps with a little more
of an 80's feel than before. 'Starbound' is an aptly named track with
an eerie sci-fi intro and vaguely audible tribal chants that eases
into an deep ambience and once again has a touch of early Ozrics about
it.
The
album continues in a similar vein with 'Shanti' which once again for
me is reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and finishes with 'Remnant'
which is perhaps a little more layered than the rest of the album,
but still gives the impression that Gregory is giving a nod back to
his influences of yesteryear.
To
wrap it up this is a great album to chill out to and the use of
organic rather than digital drums forms the impression of a band.
Which in turn helps form passages in his pieces to reflect the sounds of acts
previously mentioned like Tangerine Dream and Ozric Tentacles.
