Moyland Part 1 was recorded at the third Hampshire Jam and certainly brings back some very pleasant memories. Lovely Mournful tron / organ type sounds are punctuated by the occasional cosmic effect. These give way to lonesome flutey synth and big bass rumbles. As far as atmospheric intros go it really doesn't get any better than this. A very deep and equally melancholy lead line strikes up, grasping your very soul. This is pure class. The rather dense nature of the track is kept up as a wonderful thick steamroller of a sequence makes a bludgeoning entrance. It increases in pace and a second even faster one joins it as we hurtle along in best mid seventies Berlin School fashion. The accompanying lead lines are pretty darned good as well, the sounds chosen being exquisite. The sequences bounce off and morph round each other perfectly. Absolutely awesome!

The rest of the tracks were all recorded in the studio. 'Moyland Part 2' has a rather swirling windy beginning which is soon joined by more mellotron. Yet another sequence enters in the second minute, surging along in a rather optimistic, questing fashion. The backing is provided by deep ethereal pads giving the whole thing a rather majestic feel. The 3rd Part shows just how subtly sequences can be used when placed in the right hands. A stunning splashing / steam hissing type one is first to emerge whilst bass pulsations very gradually start to rise in the mix. The interplay between the two sequences is masterful and the melancholy end pure perfection. Part 4 whooshes into life, propelled on a solar flare as we begin our journey into the Cosmos. This was so peaceful I thought we were going to have a purely atmospheric number but no, we are less than two minutes in and the most ball breaking sequence so far surges through. The atmospherics are still vital here though providing the perfect combination of lush and yet also spaced out backing. We return to stellar realms to finish. A slow throb gets The 5th Part underway and its soon business as usual as we get a similar sequence to the previous track.
