Album Notes

Mingo's stunning space music is an exercise in profound simplicity. Often utilizing single prolonged, expanded notes, drawn out in the fluid way that whale song is - only even more stretched out - with the addition of the slightest of textures and sometimes using a tad more, minimalist electronic melodies and sounds, Mingo has crafted a set of tracks that truly carry you into the farthest reaches of space. The sound of Mingo's uberambient space music captures both the mind expansive awe of far away realms but also the sense of the ominous, the alien, the unknown, the feeling of being surrounded by a nothing infinitely bigger than you are. If I made a cerebral science fiction movie (2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, etc.), this is the kind of music I'd want in the soundtrack. Stunning, a five star effort.
