Aes Dana – Leylines

Chill out for these increasingly warmer days, made for slow moving and/or dreaming. Like a summer day! Thats not just what I am thinking what this music is made for, it was also an about ten years old track which I listen to continuously since then. This time I first got in contact with Vincent 'Aes Dana' Villuis and I am happy that I don't missed any of the releases he, or Ultimae Records, is involved in. His fourth album is very multifaceted and combines silent moments and untouched downbeat grooves, with an emotional depth which is extraordinary in my ears. Unfolding and rising atmosphere are guiding you through a relaxed journey into your inner self. My personal highlight on this CD is 'Lysistrata' because of its complexity: Extensive intro followed by challenging slow motion beats on a mind blowing arrangement of spacey atmospheric sounds, like a summer day! Awesome how deep his music can go! (liese)
