Review:New Age Space music. Atmospheric, contemplative and serene, with slow-moving
tempos. It is music for dreaming and relaxing, music for accompanying the views
of nature.
I discovered Max Corbacho's rich atmospheric music by chance just as I had
found Robert Scott Thompson's masterpieces of computer generated ambience a
year or so ago. Max is a Spaniard whose musical directions certainly are
strongly influenced by RST, and also Steve Roach and Michael Stearns. But
there is magic lurking in the textured landscapes of sound that Max Corbacho
can deliver. There is a depth in his hypnotic layers of ambience that is
rarely found anywhere in the world of new age music.And also a challenging
variety of sounds as this exciting display of music moves though space and
time. In the first three tracks Corbacho delivers a rhythm layed with
soothing rich textures that simply fill one with calm and delight. The track
'Night Caravan' is one of the most magnificent pieces of ambient music I have
ever heard.
Then the aural topography changes to almost tribal rhythms on 'erosion' that
one can imagine in a remote and desolate desert.From which one then returns
to more familiar slopes of 'Quietness' or succumb in Corbacho's 'Death
Valley'. The work ends in triumph or despair in the climax of 'Vestiges'
where silence becomes buried forever in a catastrophic thundering finale.
