The Galactic Anthems CD begins with Spastik Teloasis, which launches you into strange and interesting new sonic territory. Moving through the void, you are transported to a smoky lounge in a distant space station and experience the space-jazz flavored Orbital Bop. Journey reminds you of your insignificance in the cosmos through the use of minimalist waves of sound over a resonant bass. Your passage through the Haunted Desert is filled with shifting soundscapes of the dark desert night.
An Uncertain Future awaits you as you continue your interplanetary pilgrimage with elongated chordal streams over a subtle rhythm track. Tortured Souls unleashes wails of distress over pounding primeval drums. Midnight Mist rehydrates you with an airy molecular wash of cleansing tonality. You know you're in uncharted territory hearing the shifting blocks of sound pass through time in Way Out There.
Frozen Wasteland leaves you as cold as the vacuum of space itself with eerie tribal drums and the cries of the solitary wolf. A visit to the Black Nebula awakens the senses with an array of tingling pulsations with subtle suspension. And Distant Memories evokes peaceful, calm feelings of time spent near an ocean.
Excerpt from the review by Dene Bebbington of the Wind and Wire website:
"Galactic Anthems is a great album, sure to appeal to ambient and spacemusic fans. The music has a dark edge to it in many places but don't let that put you off. I highly recommend it."

Excerpt from the Eclectic Earwing review by Hannah M.G. Shapero:
"This is one of those rare albums that I like immediately on first playing. Its sound is familiar vintage synthesizer spacemusic, but those swoops, chords, bleeps, and beats are in the hands of a clever, humorous, inventive professional....It's the work of someone who knows his electronic heritage and has obviously had a lot of fun working with it."

Excellent electronic space music
author: Nicholas Bergquist
This music fills a specific niche within my collection previously absent, maintaining eerie and interesting space electronica without feeling too "new age" or too overblown; music thats both relaxing and interesting to listen to at the same time. I plan to pick up the rest of their albums soon.

High quality electronic music
author: Alvaro
A very good electronic album. One would expect long floating pieces trying to describe the vasteness of the Universe, but instead of this you find a collection of short pieces, ranging from slow to powerful, from atmospheric to fast sequenced. A wide variety of styles with an excellent production which we could resume in one word: good electronic music.

one expects otherworldly soundscapes of the great expanse of space.
author: M.L. Downey
With a title like Galactic Anthems, one would expect plenty of otherworldly soundscapes hinting of the great expanses of space. And this CD does deliver those tunes, most notably "Way Out There" and "Uncertain Future," but composer Glenn Adams is interested in more than just eerie sounds. "Orbital Bop" literally does bop along with a nice pulsating beat. "Midnight Mist" and "Distant Memories" also are effective aural sculptures. "Haunted Desert" tends to go on a bit long although it is evocative of a sojourn across the sand.

Absolutley fantastic! Brilliant!
author: Robert Straub
A brilliant collection of pieces and a testament to Mr. Adam's mastery of this medium. The Galactic Anthems CD represents electronic music at its best... never dull always exciting and beautifully orchestrated!
