One of the best works of Vakula. A timeless masterpiece!
TheLateArthurDent Apr 9, 2021
hear a vakula track come up in 'discover' spotify shuffle, dig it, follow vakula, dig other tracks when found, listen to AVTA in full and am amazed at the breadth of styles, and how he pretty much nails them all, tell myself to go to discogs to buy AVTA LP, "4 For Sale from $71.32". heard this one before, yeah, i know.

I have the impression that I know the bass line in „New Sensation“ from another track... But from which one?

a journey not intended for the dance floor, this sounds like some 70's avant garde space rock, just totally wild stuff

Wow. Just wow. What a total sonic joy. Everyone is touting Elaenia but this is 'THE record' of 2015...
BuzzinRyan Oct 30, 2015
Worth 30 quid for the B side alone.

More than just another LP, A Voyage to Arcturus is a brave, experimental record that explores the fascinating and endless possibilities of house music, with Vakula on a trip of his own to expand beyond conventions. Get ready for a totally immersive sonic experience. Easily one of the best albums of 2015.
