David Cordero and Pepo Galan team up on “As a silent tongue shadow” to craft an album full of contemplative songs that show a sense of nostalgia and fleeting moments of melancholy and hope. “After the pains’” and “We don’t talk” with their haunting piano, swelling melodies and layers of crystal clear soundscapes prepare us for what lies ahead. The moment you start listening to “Deva” you know that you won’t be able to shake off this recurring theme. With “Ghost and Memories” and the album closer “When the light disappears” we drift away into the abyss of our mind.

Where do I even begin. There's such a varied mix of emotions and genres in this album. Some tracks haunt, some uplift, but above all else it touches you. The Sight Below remix of Sevredol is one of the most wonderfully subtle trance tracks I've ever heard. Elliot
As I drift away from the Earth and all its chaos, its gleam reduces to a speck in the vast cosmos surrounding me. I close my eyes and take my solace among the ocean of stars. Christopher Nolan
