Ambient trip thru outer space

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is the only Laserdance album which might be enjoyed by those who don't like synthdance or Laserdance. It only consists of slow instrumental tracks in ambient style. On the first part of this album there are six new tracks, while the rest are the remakes of the up-to-date ambient tracks you could hear on the previous four albums (each had usually one ambient track). I must say the remakes make a better impression, but the new ones are also likeable, especially the delicate Galactic Dream and the Enigma-inspired Moon Dusk.



If you start listening to this album from the seventh track, you'll be really like in heaven! The great spacey feel of such tracks like The New Reunion or Vast Emptyness really makes you wonder, why Laserdance didn't record more of such great relaxing space music. The best track might be the closing Final Tones (which sounds much much better than its "predecessor" from Around the Planet, then titled Final Zone) with the dark atmosphere and eerie vocoder vocals! This is really great.



It might be not ambient's (the style's) landmark, but still, I recommend this album. It is really worth to have it for those who hate Laserdance's synthdance tracks, but heard their ambient output and enjoyed it."
