About Peter Tedstone .... Peter started playing music at around the age of eight, learning the violin and recorder at school and also used to bash away at his father's piano. During his teens Peter attempted to teach himself the guitar without much success, being left handed was probably a contributing aspect but this didn't stop him being in several teen bands though. Peter started playing keyboards with various 'pub' bands in the late seventies and early eighties and following a visit to the first UK Electronica at Milton Keynes, decided to launch a solo career and released 'Eve of Dawn' in 1983. After his third album 'Prismatic' was released in 1984, Peter was invited by Andy G (of Lotus Records, who sold Peter's albums) to play in the afternoon set at Stafford Gatehouse Theater at UK Electronica 1986. Peter was then invited back to the next year's UK Electronica as opening support to the evening headliners, Wavestar. Peter continued to release albums up to the end of the decade by which time, with the advent of digital samplers, his music had taken on a more experimental vein. Peter then decided to take a few years off and returned to his solo work in 2000. Peter released the techno influenced album 'Dreamstates' in 2001 and 'Zwölf' released in 2002 was a very successful album of melodic EM. In 2007 Peter recorded 'Timeslip', the first of his Berlin School inspired albums in the 'Time' series. Peter has also started a series of space ambient albums, the first of these was the free download, 'Dark Memories' followed by the 'Origins of Species' album.  Comments and reviews .... you what I assume is the follow up - and a real cracker it is too. A lovely little flutey melody floats above some excellent windy sounds creating quite a peaceful setting for the short intro 'Twilight'. Things turn a little darker for 'Monoceros'. Ominous drones provide a backing for a lovely thick bass sequence and mellotron. Initially the timing is quite curious but before long another sequence surges to the surface along with a steady rhythm and superb lead line. What a belter! Bet it would sound great live. 'Oscillator' makes more use of lovely lush 'tron' right from the outset. As we progress things become increasingly moody. By the third minute a slow percussive rhythm starts up punctuating the multi layered mellotron. Another stonking sequence makes an entrance and I'm now reminded of 'Encore' period Tangerine Dream. The sequence steps up a gear and a second falls into formation with the first. We keep getting breaks in the intensity providing a little light and shade. Yet more mellotron introduces 'Emulating'. A flutey melody floats through the ether and gentle piano touches sooth the peaceful atmos still further.A rumbling sequence emerges in the third minute then things get decidedly moody with the introduction of slow drums. This really is beautiful stuff. A new lead cries out to the Heavens. Things change markedly in the ninth minute as a quicker sequence strikes up followed by a rather squelchy and very analogue sounding lead line - all good fun! Things change again in the twelfth minute for an interlude of just tron and piano, only for normal service to be resumed as we plough another pulsating furrow right until the end. The title track starts with cosmic effects and crashes as if hearing the relics of an explosion light years away. The distance softens the sounds creating a lovely subtle atmospheric section. A slow melody calls out. The first sequence arrives and it's excellent - the best on the album so far. This is followed by a mellotron lead line, sequence and purposeful rhythm. Every element is spot on but the tron melody is especially exquisite. What a fantastic track to finish this superb album. David Law / Synth Music Direct / MusicZeit
