Alidan hails from Spain and makes ethereal space music. More spacious sounds of American synthesist Robert Carty come to mind. Nebulae here is an enjoyable exploration of an assortment of retro electronic music, covering spacemusic, Berlin, European, and assorted subgenres that harken back to artists like Michael Stearns, David Lange, and other artists whom emerged during the heyday of Hearts of Space (the label) and other like it. I recommend the recording (for the most part) as a solid and enjoyable collection of pieces that, despite the presence of warm analog synths (whether “soft synths” or real, I can’t tell), and the retro nature of the compositions, still sounds fresh and invigorating and not at all dated… © 2005 - Bill Binkelman, WIND & WIRE. USA. …In many ways, this recording was a refreshing change, in that, although ambient, it lacked the dark elements that much of the genre works with. Rather than layering deep imposing chords and tones, Alidan layers bright riffs and melodies. It’s certainly in the realm of New Age much of the time, yet not in the bad sense that the genre name sometimes brings to mind. In addition, there’s a spheric component swooshing through the music, as can be seen by the flowing nature of the titles such as Glider, Flowers on the Wind, or Dolphins. In combination, these approaches make for some good music… © 2004 - Loren Bacon, ELECTRONICSHADOWS. USA. …
