Model 500 - Sonic Sunset

Oh sh-i-i-i-t!!! What an L.P. Not only does it have an 18 minute version of the excellent I Wanna Be There. The B1 track NEPTUNE is one the most STUNNING pieces of music I have EVER heard. In this sublime 12 minute soundscape, Magic Juan (with the expert nob twiddling of Maurizio) has managed to recreate the VERY sound of DEEP SPACE. Subtle 808 drum patterns and a heavily effected arpeggio rising and falling, like the tides of the ocean, controlled by the moon waxing and waning. It causes a kind of STASIS, which slows down time, allowing you to step out of its confines, but also fast forwards it and rewinds it, so you see countless Sunrise and Sunsets, the turning of endless seasons, all in the same instant. A blinding FLASH of REALISATION. Time has no meaning. Everything is NOW! Your walk in space has begun. It defies gravity. Making possible journey to other planets, to witness first hand the very forces that set the Universe in motion at play. Yes. It REALLY is THAT good.
