Fullmoon - Moon 4 [Fullmoon Recordings 004 Promo]

Put out on the circuit on January 3rd, 2k25 via the artist run label Fullmoon Recordings is "Moon 4", the fourth - sic! - full length digital album release by the label head Fullmoon. Over the course of five tracks and a little more than 50 minutes of total runtime we see Fullmoon embarking on a full on Ambient x Deep Listening Music journey with the tense, spine-tingling and surely (Neo)Cosmic-informed opener "Cordoba" which is, especially due to its spatial depth and ethereal choir non-vocalisms, to be referred to as a fully fledged space-set story score in its own right whereas the subsequent "Ornament" provides droney, electric and bass-focused Ambient pulses and gooey organic modulations alongside yearning and sustained wide screen synth panoramas floating beyond time and space like the flickering lights of the aurora borealis. Furthermore we see "Patterns", our favorite of the five tracks in this album btw, bringing on a deep, slightly glitch-infused fusion of TripHop / Downbeat and IDM x Indietronica evoking memories of once beloved labels like Isolate Records or early 2000s releases produced by projects like Carlito Verde, "The Day After" indulges in spiralling, albeit somewhat kitschy and New Age-leaning Synth Ambient goodness before the final cut that is "The Evening" waves goodbye on a warm and overall comforting Ambient tip for a closing. Quite a beautiful album, this.
