"Combining elements of classic spacemusic, Berlin and European (e.g.Jarre-like) EM, and modern-day electronic ambient music, the duo who call themselves thought guild (Gregory Kyryluk and Christopher Cameron) have released [context], a remarkable synthesis of older and newer styles of electronic music. Moving effortlessly from pulsing neo-Germanesque thumpers(like the opening track "distant star") to the drifting cosmic spaciousness of "lifepools" and on to the warmly dramatic analog synths, spacy effects,and eventual propulsive sequenced beats (reminding me a bit of Vangelis-meets-Jarre) on "silicon alchemists," thought guild are mastercraftsmen of EM. The album holds nary a misstep and contains a few surprises, too. Some tracks start off deceptively in one vein and then swing onto another musical path altogether, such as "leviathan's lament" (from floating serene ambience to rapid-fire sequencers, crashing cymbals and thundering timpani).
