Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen: Toward the Horizon
Gotta be honest, when I first saw this I had the artist confused with José Padilla and I was expecting Ibiza chill-out type music. This is just as far from being aggressive, but it’s an entirely different mind state. Bringing to mind System 7 and Brain Machine, it’s cosmic ambient space-rock with expansive synths and farthest-nebula guitars, and occasionally it works up into dance beats. Almost all of the tracks are over 10 minutes, so it’s perfect for extended zone-outs. “Tidal Disruption” is the biggest track here, starting off with robot-wars drifting before gaining overdriven guitars and automotive beats. After that, it gets darker and deeper, and a lot more minimal. Really soothing and sometimes brain-stimulating.
