Eguana 'Destiny' Review






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.
