Sungod - Starscape

The history of sun worshipers is rooted deep in flickering existence of countless civilizations. The emotional ties to evolutionary origins hold sentiment of the highest magnitude. A beautiful weight that disperses itself through all creative endeavors. Remembering the Natchez or Yuchi people of north America, we hear deep within our conscious the rhythms from ceremonial offerings for the Sungod. We are offspring and have given the sun love from our hearts. And now, with the massive flood of life giving radiation the sun bestows each day, this star has found it's hypnotic groove with mesmerizing diversity.

Starscape is a sonic classic. Easily an OST for The Odyssey by Homer or pushing into the mysteries of Dante's Inferno. Sungod is Braden Balentine and Michael C. Sharp with guests Kristine Reaume and Nick Lombard. They have composed something that is very difficult to describe in genre specific categories. A bullet train through multi-dimensions. "A Stop at Willoughby" was the proverbial last track as Sungod slowly roasts listeners with cathodic Pied Piper classical Indian flute on top of the pulsating paralyzing rhythms from a molecularized composite of temporal eternity. Beautiful transitions, deep listening galore, Starscape is everything imaginable cultivated with the highest degree of creative energy and love.

Listened to this one a lot and the multifariousness kept jumbling the thoughts on words. Thank you Sungod and Crash Symbols for bringing something so special and difficult to describe. Always in the heart with beautiful and fresh sounds! Still available on cassette from Crash Symbols.
