Deep floating spacey ambient downtempo. ‘Everlasting Tone’ provides a relaxing, ethereal listening experience. Luminous, glacial yet warm textures are blending with soft elegant beats, velvety pads and trembling rich basslines. The whole album has a gentle 70s ambient retro scent that goes so well with Galaxy’s modern production and style. This is a smooth, polished yet mind tingling album. A beautifully melodic journey through dreamy paths and elusive oceanic illusions. Put your coat on or get cozy under a warm blanket, this is a gem for the winter.

Boris Blenn aka Galaxy is a talented composer and producer from Germany and ‘Everlasting Tone’ is his second album for Chillcode records, and definitely his best album so far. Nowadays it’s very hard to sound original, and on ‘Everlasting Tone’ Boris definitely sounds original, both musically and production wise. It is also very hard to create an album which keeps the listener interested and enchanted from start to finish, and Boris do that quite successfully as well with ‘Everlasting Tone’. Every sound here is sculpted with a lot thought, emotion and skill, hence the music is so vivid and full of depth. Peaceful yet stimulating waves of electronic sonic beauty.

Summary: Delicately psychedelic and very atmospheric, ‘Everlasting Tone’ is truly wonderful. Definitely in the best of 2010 list. Excellent, crystal clear sounding ambient downtempo. Very well produced. Full of lush, warm, penetrating resonance.

Recommended!

Hey man

Nice review. I bought this album when it released and I really like it as well. Sometimes it´s a bit too ambient for my taste, but that also depends on my mood

When you’re really low on energy and you’re smoking some it’s really nice to listen to, nice melodies and actually just good production.

So i think this album is pretty much amazing. It’s falsely labelled “psybient” everywhere. It has nothing to do with the music that’s within that genre whatsoever. If i was asked to describe it or put into a category, i’d say it’s mostly a mix of old-school 70s electronic music (“berliner schule”), ambient techno and modern IDM and psychedelic elemtents. Really hard to categorize though, and who needs to anyway. But it’s really a subtle masterpiece.

Cheers Psyon.

Jonas, well, it’s not categorized as psybient here : - )

P.S
Smileys are still not working for me.

either way, this album is downright amazing and everyone should hear it.
