VERTICAL LANDSCAPES — RETROSPECTIVE is a 91-minute collection of ambient electronic tracks from starfaring Australian artist deepspace. Including pieces from each of his 15 albums, both independent and released by Projekt Records, it’s hypnagogic space music carefully crafted to evoke a sense of wonder and exploration, perfect for relaxation, getting inspired, or just zoning out. With dream-like soundscapes and ethereal melodies, tracks are collected from the first album, THE BAROMETRIC SEA in 2007, all the way to his most recent Projekt offering, THE BLACK ORCHID GALAXIES in 2024. This phenomenal anthology displays the distinct harmonic language and unique explorations of the deepspace sound.[6:20] 1. Deepspace - Bluespace (Remaster 2024)
The diverse offerings travel from the quantum atomic level through microscopic botany, surreal landscapes and varied habitats and biomes, all the way to space exploration and vast interstellar structures. Nothing is too small or too large to ponder whether lucid or exploring the dimensions of dreams. All the markers of deepspace are here: breath-like washes of sound disappear and merge into the next and then unnoticeably transform into unexpected interludes. Impressionistic slow-motion dervishes, languid melodies obscured by sounds like mist, and details hidden in layers that beg further exploration — these are some of the deepspace trademarks within this 15-track retrospective.
