electronic / ambient
With six tracks, but only four songs (the last two tracks are variations on the title track by other equally inventive artists) – being them Gaia Speaks, Night Temple, Sky Whale, Spirit of Abyss, Sky Whale (Echo Delta Remix) and Sky Whale (Brickman Remix) – this new album by Alexander Saykov reflects exactly the dense intonations and colorful perspectives of his musical personality and ambitions. In a deep wave of poetic, but at the same time exceedingly taciturn oceans of melancholy and haze, Alexander Saykov composes monuments of explicit beauty, where your soul will be able to navigate to the deepest subterranean caves of a wonderful vicinity of sensorial pleasure.
With a serenity that juxtaposes the marvelous universe of a magnificent correlation of pure sentiments, the music of Alexander Saykov materializes it’s components in a completely different path, with a whole new deal of ambitions: it’s the nucleus of its fragrant sonorous prosperities that analyzes dreams in the purest state of its melodic context, while surrounds in a secure distance the wonderful grace of a taste that perpetuates over the infinity of its consistence the mutual comprehension of its own musical dissonances. Nonetheless, while there is a certain abundance of common features within his music – that may seem too overly replicated in the genre, at least in what concerns harmonic or technical dispositions – there is a formidable degree of authenticity on this work, that really dilutes over the exponentially creative ordeal of Alexander Saykov’s art the true considerations of a universe rich in proverbial textures, strictly made at the perennial inquest of a glorifying sound.
While the album is, indeed, marvelous, it is possible to feel that something is missing. This may appear as consequence of a constant rhythm and a theme in common, that has little melodic variations. Nevertheless, there is a systematic consistency and a charismatic fever imbedded in these tracks, that sound confortable not only in the first few seconds, but for the rest of the album as well.
A beautiful record with wonderful harmonies, perfect for relaxing, Sky Whale is a vigorous standalone groundwork, that highlights the most important and exclusive features of ambient music, with a deep intensity that dissipates reason to capture a salutary universe that is lost in the solitary configuration of our isolated sonorous realities.
