Dampens my stress while keeping my mind active...
author: JH Furnish
This author named his musical concept 'Origen', after a great Christian philosopher, theologist and writer from the Renaissance period. He is from Kiev, and writes his music with God in mind. God is weighing in heavily with His ability to inspire the artist, because this sounds like the Music of God.
This music sounds like it is echoing across the universe, particularly on the song 'Deep Space'. If space weren't soundless, this is what it would possibly sound like. In some sense, it must, because God is helping this artist write his album. This must be what God hears when He dips His Ear into our physical reality just to enjoy what He's made... before we get out there to muck it up. Hopefully, by the time we get out there, we'll all have the joyously contemplative vibe of 'Electro' in our hearts so we can explore His creation without exploiting everything we see.
As for the music, it is multilayered keyboards unifying different aural experiences into one setting, focused upon whatever the artist is meditating. Throughout the CD, I hear sounds from a composer's mind that project what me might find. 'Strange Voices' for example seems possibly like what alien voices may sound like when we finally meet them. It is encouraging to hear another Christian suppose that someone else might be out there, when so many religious dogmatists deny the possibility - even though the possibility was embraced even in medieval times by the Church. The entire album seems to be about contemplations in the mind of the artist. He moves from thinking about the Universe to the change in Russia ('Midnight Riots') to family and faith ('Song for Grandpa' and 'Return to the Church'. Alexsey Zakharenko of Kiev has delivered to us a great piece of music, and fortunately this isn't all. I'll be sure to collect the rest of his works.

Pleasant new age electronica

So what if this is a bit derivative of Kitaro and the more commercial side of Tangerine Dream? The fellow makes nice use of a tried-and-true pallette of "dreamy/ trippy" synth sounds, and composes interesting, enjoyable, mostly midtempo melodic pieces that hold your interest and don't get too sappy. This is comfort music for winding down at the end of a stressful day, when you don't want to hear "innovative" or "challenging." Overall it stands up very well to the genre-defining works of the 1970s, and sounds fresher because you haven't already heard it a zillion times.
