eM - All the Stars Burning Bright [Fou.13] The Foundry/Hypnos
eM is the pseudonym under which Michael Bentley, founder and owner of The Foundry label, records his experiMENTAL e-music. "All the Stars Burning Bright" is a glorious set of computerized space music. Michael draws inspiration from the writings of Brian Aldiss and M. P. Lovecraft. Michael also incorporates recordings from the Voyager spacecraft into his soundscape. That soundscape transcends most computerized e-music. While it does have experiMENTAL elements, it contains none of the dissonance usually associated with this form of music. Michael just gives us a delightful portion of minimalist space music. This is a monumental achievement
