Alphaxone (Iran) & ProtoU (Ukraine) join forces on Back to Beyond, the long awaited follow up to their space ambient masterpiece Stardust.

"Floating nutrition for your feline stowaway hits you amidst a sullen slumber. You jolt awake in the pilot seat and you hear the unearthly droning of your vessel. You look back and see the curious cat, leaping from wall to wall in zero-G snatching food pellets mid-air. The damn cat must have malfunctioned the kitty feeder again. This is why you normally leave her aboard the mothership, but no one knows how long this recon will take. Just a particle drifting in a never-ending expanse beyond reason. Golden dust shouldn’t be able to spread this far out from the wormhole. You realize the cat is safer with you and your sanity is safe with her. Those tincan AIs on the mothership know nothing of caring for a feline. In the cold heart of space, biologicals stick together, don’t they?"

Recommended for fans of Space Ambience, Atmospheric layering and harmonic drone.

Back to Beyond

Bandcamp

Dreams of Solace

Soothing, sleepy atmospheres that makes time grind to a halt. Warm distant pianos, strings and careful noise layering on a dark atmospheric backdrop creates a sense of being trapped in a labyrinth of gargantuan stone buildings that reach endlessly for the horizon.

Wordclock - Heart of a City

After her split debut Earth Songs with Dronny Darko in 2015, protoU now returns with her solo debut album Lost Here. An album that takes place in realms beyond reality, deep dreams of fragmented visions tied together with a sonic backdrop full of low key drone work and accentuated with field recordings.

ProtoU - Believe

This Dark Ambient album from Female/Male duo Phonothek serves us a deep and complex journey with smokey overtones straight out of Georgia (Europe). Vinyl crackles, echoes and bowed strings builds a tension throughout the album and weaves in and out of powerful geometric imagery. Recommended as a companion for sleepless nights.

Alphaxone (Iran) and Dronny Darko (Ukraine) join forces on this mysterious album. 

The fog hangs heavy over the emptied town as you make your way down the crest overlooking the ocean. The streets lie silent but for the subtle click of a stoplight juggling colors. Your hand disappears into the thick fog here and the smell of sulfur from the nearby factory feeds your head. Something about this place feels wrong. 

Damp thuds spins you around towards the misty outskirts of the beach town. A white horse disappears into the hills and behind it a trail of other animals flee after it. And then it booms, the sound of the fog horn rolls in from the black ocean and echoes off the buildings, the stoplight sways. Silence afterwards, ear shattering. 
The old man was right, they're coming for us! 

Alphaxone's smooth pads and deep bass meets Dronny Darko's long form drone and ethereal reverbs in this trip into the fog. For lovers of evolving drone soundscapes.

Alphaxone & Dronny Darko - Beginning

From the album 'Songs Over Ruins' (1997).

Songs Over Ruins II

Dead Melodies presents us a dark cinematic space album with Primal Destination. 

The dying star shone weak in the ancient system. Desperate bursts of green-tinged solar flares scattered towards the nearest planet; a terrestrial world circled by a ring of moons. The crew's search for habitable lands seemed to be reaching an end. 

Upon descent, as far as the eye could see, jagged lapis-blue karsts peaked the horizon, almost reaching up to meet the flares above as they breached the atmosphere. Dazzling pearlescent skies laced with layers of swirling clouds gave the impression this was a land harmonious with nature, but as the exploration pod set down in the clearing of a misty swamp, this seemed far from true. 

Remnants of civilizations tore through the land from what appeared to be a long forgotten race. The karsts were hollowed-out with metal shards spiking out the sides, entangled in flora and corroding at the roots. Strange bird calls carried on the wind, underpinned by bloodthirsty growls that echoed from the tangled foliage. In the distance, beyond the low lying mists, sentry beacons lit up the overlooking foot hills followed by search lights that scoured the glade highlighting the endless sea of ruins before focusing right on the pod, and then the chase began... 

Deep drones, sweeping atmospheres and a mysterious setting creates an immersive setting for this sci-fi journey.
