Vibrasphere join the Digital Structures family and brings us their second album packed with their dubby atmospheric penetrating music, all with a very relaxed feel to it. So much open and relaxed that after the first time I listened to it what jumped out to my mind is that this is chillout-trance. This is an album that you can both dive into or play in the background and enjoy just as well. There's enough here to dance to, or you can just float in it while you're chilling. All the familiar Vibrasphere characteristics are here. Be it the dubby sequences and feel which are present through the album, or the great musicality, which you can feel so well in Soul Wire, Newport, Silver Sun and the great relaxed floating Manzanilla, which gives me back the feel of the early trancey chillout that was made in the mid 90s. The dancefloor feel is present in Newport, the excellent pre-dawn tune- Infusion, and the groovy and funky Purple Floating. The hypnotic vibrasphere effect is also here, especially in the great Time Shifter. Some of the tracks are more clubby in feel (Lemon Phase, Silver Sun), some are very outdoor (Newport, Purple Floating, Infusion, Time Shifter), but all are very musical.
