Review:
The second album from Sending Orbs.
Long awaited, wrapped in hopes and colourful rainbows.

A strong start with a Kettel - Through Friendly Waters album was accompanied by the new album of Secede. Although it is the second album from this artist it is the first time I my chance to get into his sound (I will admin that although Bye Bye Gridlock Traffic was very well met and widely acclaimed I still haven't listened to it). I think all of you understand that after a gorgeous (it is the least I can say about it) album of Kettel it would be impossible to expect more but I was sure that this product will be of perfect quality since the very moment I found about plans on release of this album. I must say I am not disappointed with it at all. Starting from the cover artworks of it - hand drawn phantasmagoric views of harmony between nature and technology lay softly to my heart. I adore their warmness...

Lennard van der Last (aka Secede) is silently escaping the dirty noise of the city, scrap of electronic cybernetics and soul-grinding steel. A soft ambient is following me throughout all length of Tryshiasia. Sometimes it is soft and mellow; sometimes it is turning back to the city and its chaoses, sometimes it is painted with tender strokes of live rhythms. I feel like I am riding the railway that is drawn on the cover artworks. Riding into nowhere. An absolute freedom that is free of concerns and perishing misunderstandings awaits me there. I am feeling free, free because of this fresh music that is spurting into my heart in the form of crystal clear fountain of ambient music...

If to be sincere this album is a bit different from what I expected. But that does not mean that it is bad in any manner. If I had power I would delete some minutes from this album but that is really necessary because it makes all this Secede's phantasmagoric trip of yellowish blue sky colour a bit more interesting.

Hospital Requiem, Kingdom Of Hearts and The King Of Sanda will always remind me of those insanely beautiful sunrises in the clear blue sky...You have to be drowned in them...You have to feel how small shudder runs trough your body when this music gently strokes it...

It is godlike...
