Out of the Way

"Out of the Way" is some of Aglaia's strongest to date, reminding me of my favorite of Gino's which is "Reverberant Skies." Like that album, "Outof the Way" pieces are incredibly tranquil, with drones that hovergently and soothe like a soft rain. Pieces like "Northern Lights" and "Amaranthine Days" fall into this category. "Night Glow" goes intodarker, more surreal territory with a haunting theme overlaying the ambience. Some of Aglaia's past albums, like "White Maps" and "Naked Movements," were quite a bit more experimental and challenging. If you want a classically-ambient experience you can't go wrong with this very strong release! Drone On/Hypnos Forum
