Dirk Serries - The Might Of Stars Sublime [Audiophob]

Put out on the circuit via the German Audiophob label on April 25th, 2k25 is "The Might Of Stars Sublime", the most recent album by long standing producer Dirk Serries who has - according to Discogs stats... - more than 130 solo album releases under his belt using his real name alone, with a multiple of multiple involvements in groups, bands and projects as well as other aliases used since the 80s not accounted for. An impressive discography which sees its latest sequel, a five tracks and roughly 45 minutes spanning CD album, venturing into emotional, highly dramatic Synth Ambient landscapes with the opening tune "A Soft Glow" which moves to and fro like bright beams of sunlight over harsh, mountaineous terrain on a stormy, semi-clouded day followed by the deeper, more nocturnal, yet not less dramatic "Evocation" which, despite being less spiralling, for us evokes faint memories of Tangerine Dream's score work for the 1977 movie "Sorcerer". Furthermore "Carved Into" Oscillation" brings forth a calm take on post-apocalyptic Dark Ambient melancholia with fine morning mists floating over scarred landscapes and future battlefields whereas "Form Reversal" enters a realm of shimmering Ambient hopefulness and ethereal beauty before the final cut that is "The Stars Sublime" waves goodbye in a most comforting, and probably most classic and soothing Ambient manner with its soft ebb and flow of tonal shifts and a basically naturalistic overall feel which also might speak to fans and followers of (Neo)Classical music for a reason. A highly recommended journey into Ambient and Deep Listening Music as well as classic Synth compositions for those who know. Go check!
