Terrene stands as the first musical encounter between Danish and French composers Henrik Laugesen and Vincent Villuis respectively known as Lauge and AES Dana. 

A cornucopia of evanescent pads and elaborate rhythms with a distinctive downtempo vibe; a daedal story taking one on a magnetic peregrination through dense and contrasted sonic geographies, picturing the notion of temporality and space. 

This mighty 10 track album elicits emotions and feelings and will leave you full of moxie!

Written and produced by Henrik Laugesen and Vincent Villuis.

Psyrius, the creative alias of Andreas Lindholm, makes a stellar entrance onto the Altar Records roster with his reimagined debut album, "Return to Sol." Originally self-released a decade ago in 2014, Lindholm has meticulously reworked this 8-track masterpiece from the ground up, delivering a psychill melodic space album that transcends time and genre.

From the very first track, listeners are transported into a cosmic soundscape where ethereal melodies intertwine with pulsating rhythms. The album is a seamless journey through the vast expanses of space, each track serving as a waypoint on a voyage back to our celestial origin—the Sun, or "Sol."

Lindholm's adeptness at blending traditional psychill elements with innovative sound design is evident throughout the album. The layers of atmospheric pads, shimmering synths, and subtle percussive elements create an immersive auditory experience that is both introspective and expansive.

Highlights of the album include tracks like "Earth and "Uranus", where hypnotic grooves meet celestial harmonies and the ethereal voice of Molly-Anne Chinner, and "Saturn", a composition that masterfully captures the silence and majesty of the cosmos. Each piece is crafted with precision, showcasing Psyrius's growth as an artist over the past decade.

The decision to revisit and completely overhaul his original work pays off immensely. "Return to Sol" doesn't just feel like a remastered version; it feels reborn. The production quality is crisp, the arrangements are more intricate, and the emotional depth is profound.

Altar Records has a reputation for curating exceptional psychill and ambient music, and Psyrius's "Return to Sol" is a worthy addition to their catalog. The album not only honors the roots of the genre but also pushes its boundaries, offering fresh perspectives and sonic explorations.

"Return to Sol" is a captivating journey through sound and space. Psyrius invites listeners to not just hear the music but to feel it—to embark on a personal voyage of reflection and discovery. It's a must-listen for fans of psychill, ambient, and anyone seeking an escape to the stars.

Derived from the Latin “Ultimae Terrae,” meaning “the furthest places,” the name Ultimae reflects a profound theme of exploration. This concept is at the heart of Ultimae Records, an ambient music record label and publisher dedicated to transporting listeners to the outer edges of experience through sound and offering a space for introspection and discovery within the vastness of the mind and beyond.

In 1999, Vincent Villuis and Sandrine Gryson, also known as AES Dana and Mahiane, united over a shared passion for the immersive world of electronic music. This collaboration led to the birth of the label. Initially envisioned as a musical portal, Ultimae’s mission was to explore and disseminate the diverse expressions of Ambient music far and wide through the production of records and the establishment of an online shop.

Over the years, Ultimae has expanded beyond its original scope, evolving into a multifaceted company with sound design, post-production, and mastering studios based in Lyon, France, along with professional services in publishing, music licensing, and synchronization.
