"Second coming of Wojciech Zięba and Rafał Iwański introduces us to soundtrack dedicated to Nicolaus Copernicus who was born in Toruń, Poland - and to distant space transmissions....
With that approach I would expect a boring anthem in a style of electronic new age music wizards which is something that usually comes to mind. But obviously this is not the case. Especially with Rafał's background in Hati I would expect more rhythmical approach but as he centres on more electronics than acoustics the music drives into more austere type of "ambient" - well, there is no better word for that but I am always wary of this overused term which in post industrial scene easily weasels out with "dark ambient" - in most of the cases -an absolute bore! Don't be alarmed - with awareness of these two pals goes a very good piece set in 9 different tracks where subtle reverse from acoustics goes into full blown soundtrack for cosmic hallucinations. Derived from obvious post industrial archetype of Zoviet France duo develops the formula into mind boggling ambience of non-obvious rhythmical synthadelia and backgrounds which haziness and near coma experience. I found it definite and site specific for inward journeys and a good music for any visuals that have something in common with NASA.
A very nice addition to already great discogs of both artists. A sidekick yet a very autonomous one."
