Another release by Gulan, whose work is inspired by the music of Klaus Schulze, Michael Stearns, Robert Rich, Tangerine Dream. The tracks range from ambient electronica to more of a Berlin-school feel.
“I am not usually into “meditation”
Beautiful passages with slight variations that sweep your mind into the journey that is Gulan.
The first two tracks start with much motion and activity, the long third track Altai changes the mood with placid tonal passages, then tracks 4-6 bring you back into a flurry of mind trips. The last track, Synthetic-x is a fitting poignant ending. I just hope that there is a sequel to this album – I will certainly buy it!”

============================================================
"Sphere", which comes with great cover art, starts in the same manner as his album "Cassiopeia":
The 11-minute "Airway-2" is more active, as the textures have a stronger symphonic and deepening sound and are accompanied by nice sequencing.
Next comes "Altai", the longest track on the album, an almost 18-minute tranquil, slow meandering floater, nicely followed by the expanding, planetarium soundscapes of "Cosmophonia"
"Airway-4" and returns to the more active, sequenced style. The only minor point on the album is the freeform "Abstracto", which sounded a bit rough to my ears.
All in all, "Sphere" is a well produced and composed cosmic journey which lots of ambient/space fans will surely embrace.
Nicely done !
