Dimension Home
From the opening track 'It's Got to Start Somewhere'
you know that it definately has started somewhere,
and it gets bigger and better as it progresses.
Instantly recognisable as HyperEx Machina yet
also moving further along in development. Nice.

his

This is up there with the best work that HyperEx Machina has
ever done. He has added guitar to his sonic pallette, and the
effect is amazing. The guitar adds an extra dimension to the
recognisable HyperEx sound, it takes you places

Divine Flow with Cold Joy initially started out as a track on an earlier
album, but it was too good, and a further 3 parts just had to be added.
Add to that the anthemic The Pulse Quickens and 3 more tracks, and
you have this, one of HyperEx Machina's best albums

Contains the extended 5-part title track, a masterpiece of the
Ambient genre, gradually increasing in intensity through the 5
parts, taking in sequences, and eventually finishing with a
guitar blow-out in the final part. 'Midnight Remembered' is a
re-make of a classic HyperEx Machina track from way back,
and the album is rounded out with the bonus track 'Underture'

This is a Steve Munslow project and it
definitely has his
own "sound" sometimes intense, sometimes sparse, but
always that "edge" that defines the artist as different.

Reviews
Anthem for a Dying Race
Four long tracks that give you the time to get totally immersed.
Then the use of the guitar elevates your mood, totally rewarding.
Tracks that seem initially simple unfold into a complex array of
layers building and developing into a wonderful musical experience.
