Having hosted a Terra Nine gig I was fortunate to have a
sneak preview of Mike Westcott’s new progressive project Sirius Music in a live
environment. Where I was able to gauge not only my response but how fans and
people new to Mike’s music re-acted.
This project is aimed at taking the Terra Nine sound to the
dance floor and in my opinion that’s no surprising leap. I’ve always felt the
vibe of his music was much akin to some of System 7’s material, ambient trance
with lush organic strings.
The chilled vibe and viola is still very prominent in tracks
like “Axitonal” although the beat is more pounding and the bassline’s more
driven. While others such as “Vortex” are balanced with more haunting dark
layers and from what I witnessed the crowd lapped it up.
