Album Review - Travelling The Abyss By Mick Cox

The album is a story, as the title suggests, one minute your standing on a a sandy beach looking out to sea,(complete with sea noise,) and then your suddenly submerged under it. Travelling deeper and deeper into the mysterious unknown.

The music tells the tale of the Abyss's ability to scare and yet it sets your imagination on the road to wonderment, the music captures these moments with precision and ease.

Close your eyes and your submerged in the dark and gloomy depths, accompanied by alien life forms transmitting there signals to attract the next kill.

Beyond is the unknown, to-date man has still yet to discover over half of this regions terrain, one day we all may get the chance to do that, wetsuits are optional.

The Album goes on to describe the journey through the incredible depths that man can only navigate with submersible robots, from simple amiba life forms to something as simple as the sparkling sunlight piercing the dark blue watery depths as you emerge from the deep and back to the surface.

In short I would recomend this album to anyone, it stands as a "film like documentary style album" but somehow drags your imagination into depths you may never have known before. Yes it can be used as "Relaxation" style music as well, but like Jean Michel's Oxygen or before that Tangerine Dreams "Rubycon" dare I say it, is an album of equal merit.

The website excerpt in my opinion does not do the album justice, which is a hard thing to do given the time restrictions. However as the album download is so decently priced, why not just buy it and see what all the fuss is about.
