Psychedelic deep ambient

I feel it is quite fantastic!!!!!!!! Then again I’m a freak for the Hemisphere style. Lots of ambience, dark passages, nice rhythms, cool guitar work, and yes a bit of percussion.

Yep! I’m a Hemisphere fan to. The new album is brilliant, a trip into the unknow universe. I could listen to this stuff all night long.

Hemisphere serves up another slab of dark shadowy theatrical ambience. Labeled A Psychedelic Deep Ambient Soundtrack
© TJ Norris / Underground Studio –
Attachment X is a remixed compendium of ambient recordings by the German duo Hemisphere (Ralf Knappe-Heinbockel and Thorsten Reinhardt) made over the last decade between 1991-2001. Nearly 80 minutes, Attachment X is an amorphous long-play collage of harmonics and sequencers. Its tracks, called Points graciously honor past achievements of Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre, while carving out their own programming niche. Reinhardt’s guitar floats and drifts to Knappe-Heinbockel’s streamlined keyboard phrasing which percolates in and out of the foreground. This disc plays like an electronic operetta, perhaps best experienced at the conclusion of something like the Burning Man festival, or as a soundtrack to an opium den. Lost in the darkest shadows are glints of residual heat from a recent storm, gestures of lurking presences, risky passages to lunar caverns. This is a total trance-inducing complement to, perhaps, documentary footage of an alien’s first step on earth, or the impending gesture of crop circles in the making. There is an inherent sadness or sense of detached loss as the disc comes to conclusion in its final tracks. It is like a wave to a foreign world left behind, a bittersweet finale.
