(transmission suddenly terminated).” [co-ordinates of location delivered with message]  NEON BLUE UTOPIA is the 16th album by space-faring Australian composer deepspace and his fifth on Projekt Records. Fusing ambient, electronic, spacewave, dreamwave, shoegaze and post-rock, deepspace creates a tantalizing and dream-like wide-screen experience filled with hypnotic fractal detail and immersive sound dimensions. Embellishing on the last studio album THE BLACK ORCHID GALAXIES, this release meticulously pushes the deepspace sound into new and unexpected sectors. Through detuned synths, droning guitars, shimmering infinite washes, occasional filtered drums and hyper-real found sounds, it’s a kaleidoscope of fragments not unlike a technological aural reef — soaking, submerging and surrounding the auditory senses. Like something out of an Iain M. Banks novel, NEON BLUE UTOPIA portrays a place from deep inside the collectively-created musings of science-fiction thought: A vast megacity, hanging somewhere in the cosmos, a place of liminal wonder, bizarre and unclassifiable, comforting yet frightening. A place exists, of immeasurably advanced technology (powered by recently discovered mineral, neon blue), where visitors can visit algeous underwater precincts, where inhabitants are suspended in breathable liquid, going about their day; immense towers where one can parkour up high without danger; biomes with forests and buildings inside rooms on hidden floors of apartments; suburbs filled with huge soft bubbles that pulsate sound; highways of upside-down plasma-powered cars; near-infinite vistas thousands of kilometres high above a nearby planet. The music suggests these seemingly impossible ideas by sonically representing places that are vast, oddly microscopic and everything in between. This album is the most surreal and luminescent voyage yet in the deepspace catalogue.

His meticulous layering of detuned synths, shimmering drones, and hyperreal textures draws listeners into a space that is both futuristic and achingly intimate." — Vito Camarretta Exposé : "77 minutes of purely instrumental compositions that straddle the boundaries of atmospheric, electronic, dreamwave and post-rock, taking his sound into the far reaches of space and beyond, using droning guitars, synthesizers that occasionally detune suddenly, muted percussion and piano, vast expansive ambient fills, brilliant sparkles of tonal color, and sampled sounds (which can include voices), all in order to bring his visions to life, spread across the album’s fifteen long tracks." — Peter Thelen Echoes Radio : "Echoes January CD of the Month. His sound is more influenced by Brian Eno’s ambient aesthetic, of fluid impressionism, sometimes to the point of vaporous. On Neon Blue Utopia he adds in Eno’s sensibility for subtle melodies… with shimmering synth crystals, shards of melody and the environmental sound of rain transformed through electronics. It’s a sound that hints at new vistas just over the hill… It’s an album to get lost in, just like the Megacity of his imagination. Welcome to 2025, or is it 2125?" — John Diliberto

A perihelion is the point at which an orbiting planet is closest to its sun. Veteran Bay Area ambient musician Forrest Fang's latest, Perihelion , takes rewarding risks by incorporating unusual microtonal tunings into his personal blend of electroacoustic minimalism, space music, and world fusion. Unlike Icarus, these risks do not crash and burn into the sun. Instead, they help unify Fang's Eastern and Western virtual musical worlds with common harmonies that create their own lingua franca. Fang's new collection draws especially deeply upon his musical influences from progressive music of the 70s to the traditional musics of Asia. "This album took nearly two years to complete," says Fang. "I was seeking a variety of moods and instrumentation that unfolds within an unified arc like a good novel. I also wanted each of the pieces to develop organically — which, in many cases, meant an extended compositional period of trial and error." Order here CD £13.99

This project began with an attempt to remix ‘Gravitational Waves’ from my first album. I always felt that the original version I recorded didn't entirely match what was in my head. Having learned a lot about music-making since it was first recorded seven years ago, I felt I would like to have a go at an alternate version of the track to try to realise my vision. It is probably the most painstaking piece I have ever worked on. During the early stages of working on the remix, I invited three friends whose music I admire to remix the other tracks from my first album. I also decided to attempt a remix of one of the ‘Waves’ tracks that bookended the original album. I love the paths my friends took with the source material, and I hope you enjoy this release.
