There are definitely some really classy world sounds here with solid jazzy, loungey vibes and just the right pinch of psychedelia sprinkled throughout. The overtone singing is very nice. A few tracks are floaty and very minimal at times, but it was very good for me
Absolutely stunning !
Reviewer: DJ Drifter
With such an influx of Eastern influenced chillout, especially in the psychedelic scene, it seemed that this would just be another album in a long list of similar artistry. Boy was I wrong ! This album has a fantastic balance of organic instruments paired with drifting synth ambience. The music is focused and richly textured. There was serious devotion and love that went into the writing of this album. Rather than compare them to others, I would just tell you that if you enjoy Eastern influenced ambient music, or top notch psychill....then you need to pick this one up for your collection. One of the best albums I have heard in several years !!
DIGITAL SAMSARA: Blue Beryll 2006
This release from 2006 offers 53 minutes of dreamy trance music.
Middle Eastern styles conspire with modern technology, resulting in a serene dose of electronic trance music. Strong percussion supports a nest of undulating electronics with stately guitar lingering around the rippling edges. Mournful trumpet lends a strident proclamation to the lazily flowing melodies.
The electronics gurgle and bubble with sedate character, oozing slyly through the mix and evoking tenuous substance.
Western guitar provides an eloquent way station to the real world, establishing heart in a sea of atmospheric demeanor. These strings act like an anchor, tethering the soul to the body while the music draws the mind forth to wander ectoplasmic realms.
Luxuriant percussion applies itself to stable rhythms as well as tentative beats, dependably enhancing the daze without disturbing the dreamer.
In one instance, vocal strains provide an ethereal presence, like a holy man calling out in the nocturnal distance.
While often exhibiting substantial body, the overall flair of this music is serene and introspective.
