I really liked Sonic Adventure Projects CD. I am a massage therapist and this music helps my clients to relax and drift away. I will be buying more of their CD's in the future.

Turn the lights down low and the music up loud - or better still - sit in the dark with some high quality headphones - either way - just let the music conjure up the images and totally de-stress you. Waters in motion is going to be the one most people recognise and it is already deservedly becoming a classic, having appeared on many chillout compilations. Looking forward to the next one.

…The title is defined as `liberating or releasing energy` although this shouldn`t be taken to mean that this is any sort of crash bang wallop music, rather a well played selection of 90s influenced tracks that would sit well within any of the recent plethora of `Chill Out` albums. Only occasionally does the music bear it`s teeth, most noticeably in the relatively bombastic `Sitarian Supernova` which, true to its title, does feature the Indian instrument of the title atop floating chords & some pretty heavy rhythms. Elsewhere, though, this is pretty tranquil stuff that should appeal to all those who enjoyes Venja`s recent works (it wouldn`t surprise me to see these two turning up on some of IC`s compilations one day soon, either!) ,as well as top names such as Moby. Just listen to the totally chilled ambience of `Pink Synth` or the trip hop flavoured `Double Helix` for proof of this. The music here does without any sampled voice that is very much the norm these days, instead the polished & laid back melodies are allowed to take centre stage pretty much for the duration. The sequenced opening of `Mode III` does herald a slightly more direct number although this is still another track to lie back & soak in. The 11 minute `Forty Two (V.11)` really takes this style to the extreme with a greater degree of ethnic rhythms acting as the backbone to the otherwise chilled synths. `Waters In Motion` & the closing `Four Notes` are both beautifully crafted piano-led pieces. The synth colouration is perfection, especially the gorgeously sumptuous synth pads on the latter track which really tugs the heartstrings without fail.
This kind of easy going but effecting music has a great potential for mainstream appeal & hopefully fate will see the duo getting their just desserts in the near future.

Sonic Adventure project transport themselves to us from Austria in a cascade of modern ambiance & tasteful flair. Peter Koellerer & Thomas Viehboeck have a singular audio vision that transforms their works into a seamless integration of music amidst a colorful sublime palette of moods & backgrounds. As if on an icy meridian facing the eternal abode of deep interstellar space, the music of Sonic Adventure Project is a journey into understated production beauty & craftsmanship. The song 'Inner Journey' is an excellent example of the creative heights these two gentleman are capable of & so much more. Its warm string flow & piano accents coupled with guest vocalist Julia Fischer's emotive resonance, make for a moving spacial quality. The chromatic three step hook is simply superb. … In 'Waters In Motion' the revolving piano in minor cadence coupled with lush strings & flute segue into the electronica mellowness & stereo panning of 'Pink Synth' with its major to minor modal changes. Songs such as 'Double Helix' offer the listener a stark & beautific progression with rhythmic undercurrent, while 'Mode III' & its techna-smooth groove & string movement enhance the impression. …
