Artist: Eguana
Title:
Destiny
Label:
Cosmicleaf Records
Released:
11th November
The
latest release from Russian artist Sergey Severin a.k.a. Eguana. Who
surprisingly (considering he has had numerous albums released on a
few labels since 2010) has only arrived to my ears this year.
The
album begins with ‘Germind’ (quite possibly a nod of respect to
his fellow Russian label mate) a lovely combination of chilled out
space music and twitchy drum patterns that verge on breaking into
drum and bass. The lush angelic voices employed in the elongated
intro of ‘Galaxy Noodles’ is pure space ambient, although the
drum patterns he’s created are similar to the opener, there’s a
few guitar licks and piano notes that add to the piece … wonderful
stuff. While ‘Orbital Station’ continues the theme creating an
atmosphere where you can imagine you are floating out there.
As
the album progresses the drums pay less of a part but the beauty
transcends at times in these pieces. Now I was pretty impressed with
the last Eguana album that I reviewed but here I am totally hooked.
When Cosmicleaf advertised this album as he needs no introduction I
can see why. If you are a fan of the space ambient style and familiar
with this artist you’re probably already purchasing. On the other
hand if your a fan of the space ambient style and unfamiliar with
this artist I’d highly recommend you give this a listen.
