![]() review |
The vistas of outer space, sonically evoked and evocative - vast, majestic, at once awesome and beckoning, otherworldly yet strangely familiar. Travel through musical starfields. Experience the Milky Way rising over the horizon of an alien world. Look back in time brought present by the ancient light of the eldest stars, eternal witnesses to all the happenings of time and space. And experience the emotions of the traveller. Exhilaration. Awe. Poignant nostalgia, both for home and for unimaginable vistas never to be seen again save in imagination. And a jazzy, joyful return at journey's end. Stephen Hill |

Building on the sonic exploration of works like The Way Home, Galaxies expresses the vast, stately atmosphere of outer space; appropriately, this collection is the original soundtrack to the internationally syndicated planetarium show. From the liftoff of "Starflight" to the touchdown of "Going Home," Kevin Braheny explores the emotional spectrum of space travel. Jazzy elements, sometimes joyful, occasionally poignant, float through Galaxies' 17 concise pieces. A detailed and diverse album, combining science and emotion with an artist's touch.
