Mystic Spirits Vol.6
(2002, ZYX Music 81445-2)

Gingko Garden: Riding On The Waves Of Time
taken from 'Back In Time' (2002). 
See SynGate: GingkoGarden for further details.

Foreign Spaces: Laurasia
taken from 'Syntonic Waves Vol.8' (2002). 
Although the music of Foreign Spaces is compared to Tangerine Dream 1974-1990, one hear distinctly the progressive touch, for which Foreign Spaces is well-known beyond the limits of Electronic Music since 1983.
Laurasia is not only the name of the northern continent during the triassic period, but part of the forthcoming concept album about the super continent Pangaea.
See www.foreignspaces.de for further details.

Klangwelt: Blue Planet
taken from 'Syntonic Waves Vol.8' (2002). 
Smooth keyboard sounds, pulsating rhythms and accessible melodies, altogether in an exzellent 3D-stereo sound, that's the magic of multimedia audio technician Gerald Arend. His musical style, influenced by Jarre & Vangelis, gained some good results an various mp3 internet sites.
See SynGate: Klangwelt for further details.

Nautilus: The Fog Dance
taken from 'North Pole Pilgrim' (2002)
An instrumental album inspired by the novel 'Voyages et Aventures du Capitaine Hatteras' (1866) by Jules Verne and performed by Martin Ludwig on keys, synths, sequencer, Werner Stratz on E-Guitar and Ralf Obel on synths, sampler and sequencer, a.k.a. 'Nautilus'. 
The opening track 'The Fog Dance' sets out the stall with brief ambient introduction before the lush melodic electronica and Stratz's guitar up the tempo augmented by percussion before the gentle fade out. Nautilus' sound deploys keyboards, sequencers, guitar and percussion to produce an EM based prog sound, which can be bright, upbeat and optimistic.

Waveshape: Chromosphäre
taken from 'Polychrom' (1994)
See www.stephan-schelle.de/emu for further details (german).
