Árni Grétar CD been a great company in the car to my adventures in Iceland. Simon clearly is one of the best ambient producers in the world atm. Wonderful stuff. Favorite track: In Stone.

Heath H An absolutely sweeping, epic release that raises the bar for ambient space music. Highly recommended! Favorite track: Across the Ether Parts 1 & 2.

Scubadevils This is absolutely stunning, the album really works as a journey in a true album sense - meant to be listened to from start to finish. Clear 90s influence, an amazing listening experience. Mr Matthews is an incredibly talented producer.

Charles Urban Straight from the glory days of 90's ambient electronica. I really love every track, but Proxima Centauri gave me flash backs to Heavenly Music Corporation. Awesome! Favorite track: Proxima Centauri.

about

Si Matthews's Carpe Sonum debut, Tales of Ten Worlds, glorified the Namlook template to usher in new vistas of expansive headtones; to mix Fax-ian metaphors, something like an ‘environmental space music’ that trafficked in Germanic kosmische traditions while not becoming wholly subservient to them. On Across the Ether, Matthews’ manages to find a way deeper into the cosmos with a purity of essence and engulfing outreach, using a broad range of merry modules to free your mind for your soul to follow. Beginning with the prickly drone clusters, shimmering galactic bubblewrap, and moog-esque whoosh of opener “The Search”, snatches of abandoned astronauts dialog frozen in a distant quasar’s bandwidth eerily paint a picture of beings trapped in all-encompassing voids, the light of farflung orbs their only accompanying illumination. It’s an utterly compelling beginning that finds Matthews doing what ‘classic’ synth/space music does best: erect whole new imagistic textures never before heard, considered, or contemplated. With the ‘renaissance’ of electronic and synth-generated music going on full-force for nigh on a decade now, Matthews remains one of the movement's most talented young whippersnappers, amorphous by decree, providing us with, to borrow an album title from Hawkwind, astounding sounds, amazing music.
