Solar Fields is constantly reassessing his relationship with the
Electronic Music of the past. His album EXTENDED (79'59")
seeks to remake Spacemusic in a more modern context. Rather
than simply referencing the cold interstellar soundscapes of the
classics, Solar Fields creates a unique sonic environment of
serene beauty. His additions to the genre retain the expansive
nature of what has survived and makes for an embracing vision
of a present constantly slipping into the past. The energy level of
this album ranges from slowly shifting harmonic forms across a
lush otherworldly panorama to warm, round skipping rhythms
which rise and fall in tempo and intensity above and below the
bordering domain of dance music. For a deep chill album,
EXTENDED is quite warm and embracing. Were this album to
materialize into a place one could walk through, it would be a
green and growing twilight paradise.
