While out exploring the aural universe one would be most fortunate to come in
contact with Dutch Space Mission (Epple E. Hulshof and Bert Hülshoff). Their
floating electronic cosmos-scapes will cause the light years to pass quickly and
the inter-stellar sights to be all the more wondrous to the traveler. Each of
the four compositions on their live recording E-LIVE 2008 (153'21") begin very
quietly. The duo may just be testing out their gear but more likely they are
helping the audience align with the rhythm of space. The ethereal slow dance of
tones nearly dissolves into glowing light as a thousand shards of spinning
sounds go tinkling upward. Their lush abstract space narrows under rising
sequencer patterns as motor-like rhythms steadily gain momentum and extend this
voyage into tonal regions. Above echoing synchronization, calm lead melodies
wind out. With realizations similar to, but somewhat more raw in execution than
their fellow countrymen and space brothers Free System Projekt, Dutch Space
Mission's elliptical voyages conclude where they began - in tumultuous layers of
swirling sound. Like whispers in space their music leaves as much to the
imagination as it reveals.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from E-LIVE 2008 the new live album
by Dutch Space Mission
