BIOnighT
- Back To Orion
(2007/2008, SynGate
CD-R 2123)
Cosmic Music, Berlin School, call it whatever you
prefer, it certainly is about a voyage through space. Incredibly enough,
for the first time FaBIO and I agree on the fact that this may be our best
album to date...

After a hiatus of a couple of years, Mac has teamed
up again with BIOnighT bandmate Sbrizzi Fabio, with the usual positive
outcome. “Return to Earth” is a light bubbly melodic piece that serves
to ease the listener gently into the album. “Sinus Iridum” starts with
dreamy soft sequencing. A melancholy oboe-like synth plays the melody. A
punchy playful bass line brightens things up nicely. Halfway through the
mood changes considerably as a more ambient experimental section ensues,
quite surprising but no less enjoyable than the rest. “Floating
Thoughts” is a cool drifter, darker than the BIOnighT norm but again
very good, a nice change of pace. “Moon Rocks” shows the duo’s
playful side, with unusual fun sound effects at the beginning followed by
a soothing pleasant melody and bouncy moderate sequencing; a wonderfully
light touch on this one. Equally pleasurable is “Little Gravity,” with
the flavor of mid-1980s Tangerine Dream but with a style all their own.
“Falling” is like good 80s synth pop without the words. “Ride on the
Moon” is a great 15-minute sci-fi trip across the lunar surface to bring
the disc to a close.
