A superb album fropm Messrs Lyell and Reiland with all the trimmings you'd want to find in a truly engaging and popular ambient work. Watch out for the stunning Enthereal Float with it's nets cast back to the best of the likes of Tangerine Dream et al. The sequencing is very well executed and the choice of effects add a really nice touch to quite a glossy production. Dreams of the solstice is another little gem that exudes confident and contemplative composition. Pleiadean, Light years away, and Zone 5 are all blessed with the same kind of approach in inventiveness the stuff that really gives this album its trademark status. I like the idea of synchronized collaborative effort and Lyall & Reiland appear to have masterd that process from track 1 to 10. All in all, Synthetic Universe is a very cool electronic album that can rest with ease with the best of them and one that these guys should be really proud of. Colin Lynch |
