Pub – 555

It is obvious that there is no end to this man's exemplary talents as '555' offers yet more soundscapes to your aural pallette. 'Sundrive' offers sounds of majesticity & awakening. I feel like i'm on top of Everest or something overlooking the world hearing this. Betty's Bench (where does he get these titles from?)starts with low dissonant static sounds & then forges into melancholic chords & droned organs. Sounding more like a soundtrack to a film chronicalling a person's inner personal struggle. Going Home - this track painted a very clear picture in my head straight away of an interstellar spacecraft orbiting a planet in one of the outer galaxies & within the craft's hulls is the grandest hall, with an orchestra playing to the events of a star being born right in front of them (as if by accident), the events & music unfold into a moving & life affirming opus. Spectacular!
Afterglow - Without a doubt, this is of the most moving pieces of music i have ever heard..Period..My mind is awash of memories sad & happy both at the same time..it's too moving for words to state clearly, so i won't. Emotional Thought Music & clearly a classic.. Thank you Pub (again!)

Pub takes a new direction with his music on this mini-album, sounding more like a soundtrack with classical textural soundscapes. From the opening second "Sundrive" throws layers and layers of warmth at you while feeling very majestic, one might say almost religious. "Betty's Bench" brings us into deeper and darker territories yet without giving you an uncomfortable feeling. "Going Home" might be the highlight of this release, sounding more like the opening track, it captures you from the beginning and wont let you go. During these 7 minutes thoughts and feelings of wonder, overwhelming beauty and an calming acceptence arise. "Afterglow" has a more melancholic sound, as if we are allowed to see, hear, touch, smell someone/something we love one last time again. After the track is over you are thrown back in reality.

This release is right up there with Pub's best work. This is truly timeless music. It's a pity only 100 copies are available but who knows, we might see a rerelease or a new full album filled with heavenly music like this one, I surely hope we do.
