CD/DVD Releases: Re-Release Of Art Of Infinity's Debut Album On Prudence/Rough Trade

Posted on Sunday, February 15 @ 03:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Art Of Infinity's debut album New Horizon from 2000 has been re-released on CD by Prudence/Rough Trade (Release date: 31.01.2009).

New Horizon-Review: "Progressive ambient new age music? Well, that is the best way to describe the Art of Infinity project from producer/musicians Thorsten Sudler-Mainz and Thorsten Rentsch.

"The emphasis of the music itself, provided by space noises, midnight sax, soundscapes of female vocals, and the backdrop of guitar arpeggios, are discretely mixed within large amounts of reverb and technical panning, creating a spacious atmosphere. For the most part, this record stands out as a possible soundtrack to a sci-fi film or a documentary, in fact the final cut, 'Evolution' was used in a documentary film, putting these guys on the right track. This music is not heavy and not all that avant-garde, all though there is an artsy feel to it.



"This record would interest those who are into Rick Wright?s solo albums or the atmosphere of Pink Floyd?s later material (minus the whole songwriting structure) as well as Alan Parson?s instrumental material. The record itself might interest audiophiles, due to the precise mixing and engineering of this record." (Tommy Hash, prog4you.com, USA)
