****3/4
 This
is a really good CD album. I have listened to Aphelion
by Amethstium (which is the work of Oystein Ramjford) about
twenty times, and it holds up well for both background and
headphone listening. There are eleven tracks on Aphelion,
combining the styles of New Age ambient with World Pop and
Futuristic grooves. There is calming space music laid over
non-intrusive percussion and rhythms.
Ramjford creates simplistic but memorable
melodies utilizing lush atmospheric synthesizers and Gregorian
style chants, along with angelic female voices. This album
builds a beautiful bridge between exotic dance rhythms and
melodic ambient space to take the listener on a unique and
memorable journey every time it is listened to.
It can be ordered from: Neurodisc Records,
3801 N. University Dr., Suite 403, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33351.
I believe that it can be sampled over the internet as well.
