enternext When life and death are laid before you to choose...and you´re invited to choose life, forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead ... then Pioneer can feed you a long, long time. It kind of has a mirthful yet sober taste to it.
Thanks for soundtracking my journey!

In.Visible.Generator Sounds much more conceptual than previous works from Altus. I like that. Highly cinematic and dense.

Allister Thompson To me this is Altus's crowning achievement (thus far)... where it all comes together. Hints of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream's sense of melody, matched with a perfect ethereal atmosphere, result in a really moving listening experience. This'll get you through a hard time.

about

It’d be a one-way trip, but would you give up the chance to be part of an expedition to another world?

Leave Earth behind and travel beyond our solar system. Altus returns with vast, evolving chord progressions, accompanied by articulate arpeggiated synths, pulsing basses, soaring leads, and lush pads.

High volume and active listening is encouraged.

MP3 (320kb/s) available for free at: altusmusic.ca/pioneer.html

Light Years
by Stellardrone

supported by 31 fans who also own “Pioneer”

Peaceful downtempo space ambient. I'm a sucker for projects like this, and Stellardrone was an instant favorite of mine. It really showcases how this genre works so well with your imagination, provided you let those sounds into your head in the first place. It's beautiful, relaxing, and has seemingly infinite replay value. Why aren't you buying already? FLESH MECHANIC
