Created by the psychedelic trance pioneer Simon Posford and Benji Vaughn...
... the mastermind behind Prometheus and The Egg.
The pair team up once again to create their second album, a
breathtaking album with stunning sound production, that takes listeners
on an incredibly varied musical journey.
'The
Last Days Of Gravity' is a unique melee of electronic, acoustic, and
vocal music, running the gamut of beautiful, strange, catchy,
psychedelic, melancholic, uplifting. Despite its consistently
psychedelic tone, the album has a very human element to it, and you can
sense the spirit and emotion that have gone into its creation.
The harmonic variety of 'Last
Days' is particularly mesmerising. The bindingly riveting melodic lines
provide echoes of Posford's earlier work in Shpongle and Celtic Cross,
as well as of his more recent collaboration with the legendary Alan
Parsons. This album is no retro piece of work, however, with Posford
and Vaughn's legendary innovation resulting in a complex mix of styles
that eludes genre-casting. Despite having no obvious dance numbers,
'The Last Days Of Gravity' provides enough levity to be the perfect
soundtrack to the richness of daily experience.
