Hemisphere Inversion

11 tracks created between 1992 and 1999 by Ralf Knappe-Heinbockel and Thorsten Reinhardt. Such is the quality on show here it is difficult to believe there is such a time span represented. All the pieces have been selected with quality control high on the agenda. From the opening moments of the superb 'Psychodelic Friends Create' it's obvious this is going to be an enjoyable experience. The sequences are judged to perfection, lush synth layers caress the piece while a well judged lead line cries out. The track merges seamlessly into 'A New Point of View' which has class written all over it. Ambient, relaxing yet full of interest it presses all the right buttons. And if you have ever wondered what an RMI and Patrick O'Hearn combo would sound like, go no further than track 7 'Looking Deep Inside'.

Overall the approach leans towards the more atmospheric and "spacey" rather than overtly melodic or rhythmic, but there's not a bad track to be found and no matter what your tastes in EM this will not disappoint. (GG)
