Alpha Wave Movement "The Edge of Infinity"
Calm, tranquil, stunning...

"The Edge of Infinity' from Alpha Wave Movement is a very calming album of melancholic strings and subtle sequences. The songs are uncluttered and flow together nicely.

'Monolith' begins with sad synths and a distant drum drenched in reverb. A filtered sequence emphasizes a mood of solitary contemplation. 'The Edge of Infinity' continues the melancholy mood with a pulsing bassline, warm strings and quiet arpeggio's. Gentle percussion compliments the mix and an air of optimism is introduced. 'Travel into The Nexus' has long ambient layers of choir-sounds and a rhythmic melody. 'Binary Code 51' increases the pace a little with foreboding strings, an urgent arpeggio and a nice electro-style break beat. 'Reflective Synapse' has a beautiful, lonely opening, continuing the theme of sumptuous pads and bell-type sequences.'Vistas of Magnificence' has an inquisitive flavor and a nice lazy bassline(!)

'Dusk Descending' opens with solemn sounds which are joined by slow conga slaps and another great synth melody. The first two minutes of 'Distant Visitation' is, for me, the high point of the album. If you want something to listen to while sitting comfortably indoors with a hot cup of coffee, watching the rain roll down the window pane, then this is it (I know what I mean!). 'Purge' sounds almost alien, with owl-like hoots, big basstones and an Egyptian flavor tune.

Overall, 'The Edge of Infinity' is an excellent CD. It sustains a thoughtful mood of calm throughout, and is a must for those of us wanting a soundtrack of well-conceived soundscapes to accompany us through the twilight hours."
