Very strong melodic and spacey synth/sequencer tracks inspired by Cosmic themes and including atmospheric sleeve illustrations for each piece.
Compared to Chris Franke, Robert Schroeder, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream.
Most popular track: Moon Child featuring lots of sequencers and Alquimia on vocals.

1996. Press Information 10 tracks of modern EM brought together to form the second instalment of Mark Jenkins' 'Space Dreams' series.

'SuperNova' is an up tempo sequenced piece with a decent enough melody which almost breaks into 'Telstar' at one point. There's a fair old lineup of equipment on show, both analog and digital, and the sound produced is consequently full and detailed. Pump up the volume to appreciate fully. 'Gravity Waves' (the longest piece at 7:48) opens in measured fashion with pleasing synth stabs. The tempo is then raised (literally) producing a boppy number which does its best to hold the attention and largely succeeds. 'Neptune Storm' takes over seamlessly and grabs the focus with beefy sequencing. Melodically it's a bit lightweight but overall it's another successful outing. 'Ancient Light' is certainly not lightweight in the melodic department. It's a surging example of electronic theme work which stirs the imagination. Of the remaining tracks, 'Rock 64001' contains some more dramatic sequencing and 'Pulsarsphere' serves up plenty of uptempo electronic rhythms and synth lines. One of my criticisms of 'Space Dreams 1' was that it straddled the uncertain ground between the spacey and the up tempo, and ended up being successful at neither.

'Space Dreams 2' certainly injects more life and spirit into proceedings and is consequently a more satisfying musical experience. On first hearing things can still sound a tad superficial, but familiarity brings its reward and you soon realize that there's a lot going on here. Expect safe ground and some excitement and you'll not be left disappointed.

GG A powerhouse of extremely good rhythmic cosmic music...hard to stop the old feet moving...a skilful collection of tracks, crafted to perfection...thoroughly enjoyed it...no hesitation in recommending it to you.

Sequences Magazine Love those percolating sequencers!...a full range of space music moods and textures...from tangerine dream-style standard space prog to more heartfelt stylings a la kitaro.
Driving rhythms underlying spacey effects and bright melodies...enough in motion here to distance it from the ambient masses...beautiful photos and paintings of cosmic exploration and celestial events. A solid space disc that moves, and does so without sounding cold or foreboding - a good bet for fans of the genre.

Progression Certainly cosmic, but still in a British way...ideal to play to someone who wants to know what electronic music really is.

KLEM Magazine / The Netherlands That's great music!

2002. Guy Schmitz / Luxemburg This is a magnificent release by Mark Jenkins.
The ten pieces the album is composed of don't follow the usual outline of most space music - the compositions aren't abstract, but have warm melodies instead, sometimes somewhat romantic in nature. The artist offers us his mastery at creating a work full of beauty and mystery.
