"with its shifting textures and amazingly, beautiful, fluid, ambient sounds, that will embrace you with its spiritual well being, you will not be disappointed"


Psicodreamics is Spanish musician Salva Moreno’s, who provides on this release a wealth of fine compositions, from a catalogue of music spanning from the 90’s with nine albums to date. His music combines the elements of New Age with ambient overtones and has an inner beauty in it’s structure. This can be found on the tracks such as “A Heaven in Your Eyes” were who hear the call of the angels and the shimmering lights of the cosmos, at the foot of a Galactic doorway, my favourite piece on the album, showing rare emotion. “Labyrinth of Seduction” has those same heavenly sounds but with a rhythmic foundation of celestial chords, very uplifting. Again “Stakes and Garlics” & “The Crypt of Depair” have otherworldly echoes from beyond the sphere of life and grabs you with their shear beauty. Another spacey track “Luminious” takes us into the mysterious sounds of the universe, sometimes dark and unnerving, yet totally absorbing. “On the shore of Hell” has firstly odd spoken words, sounded death to this track but gladly they only last a few seconds. This is an interesting piece with quirky voices, thunderous basses? and disturbing breathing sounds. “The Beyond” is in a similar vein but has a much darker feel, with undertones of desolate landscapes in a world driven by the unknown. Going with the same theme as the former “Malicious Children Delight” is much more experimental with all manner of percussive & industrial sounds, overlaid with a choral lead. “Floating in the River of Souls” is a atmospheric piece woven with symphonic choral sounds, probably the most melodic piece on the album with added piano chords and “Twilight Dream (Reverse)” the shortest track provides again soaring symphonic chords, retaining an enlighten quality. So there you have it, a sample of the music from Psicodreamics, with its shifting textures and amazingly, beautiful, fluid, ambient sounds, that will embrace you with its spiritual well being, you will not be disappointed.
