Many thanks to all of you for listening and commenting! It's amazing that my music is now being re-discovered after all these decades! The synth that I'm using is a Yamaha CS30L and my main fx was a Watkins Copycat. ❤

And this just auto-queued for me.. Grand Wisdom of The Algorithm, Almighty 🙏 ...or something like that Intriguing first track 👍 I'll keep listening... This has a proto-electronic, sci-fi music thing going on, but more 'prog' B)

Are you kidding? The riff of 'Matrix' still goes around and around inside my head.

If you're here, you've got your algorithm dialed in right. Going to check out your bandcamp, this is awesome.
Reminds me of old science fiction stuff like Stargate & Battlestar Galactica. It's definitely one of my new favorite albums.

Many thanks Kris - glad you like it!
What I've noticed is that this man understands how you use rhythm. For all the musical trickery that happens, it's welded solid to a tight and undisturbed base of percussion/drums/bells. Just listen to the bell in 'Gates of Babylon'. 🤩 Been tapping my foot non-stop. 🙌

Many thanks for listening and commenting - even the sequences I played by hand back then (couldn't afford a sequencer!) which helped give me that sense of rhythm 🙂

So it came naturally, in a way. I salute you for having a minimal setup, yet producing these rich tones. 🙌
No idea how this popped up in my feed, but it's rad. Stuff like this was the seed for the huge resurgence in "dungeon synth" stuff we're seeing right now, also spurred on by people wanting cool fantasy game soundtracks for their D&D games.
This goes so hard. Sirius in particular, been stuck in my head for days now

Need as a Cd. Pure thrill and artistry!
Hey Steve, I still have this and the Evocations cassette I bought from you years ago stored away in a box with all my other cassettes. The home produced artwork, by you wife I think, always fascinated. I do play this album from time to time rerecorded on minidisc at the time, it always reminded me of Phaedra by TD 🤗 cheers.

Many thanks Ian - I really appreciate that.
Right at the first listening in love with Sirius. Sounding really good ... Through Mist with Alignments also very powerful! The whole album here is great.
wow...this music really escalates!! you should've been writing film scores or computer game music with skills like this...amazing soundscapes and progressions...having this on in the background turns your whole world into a fantasy...it's amazing...thank you :)
This is so cool, cheers from Ireland
Reminds me of an album i heard years ago, IN SEARCH OF ANCIENT GODS/absolute elsewhere. Like that i find the music haunting ❤
haven't heard anything quite like this man, so glad i got recommended this. think i'm gonna listen to the rest of this as soon as part one ends, cause this is great for drawing expressions for characters to, helps the creative juices flow and everything.

@@EthericSound Me parece muy bien, solo digo que la influencia de TD en muchos de esos temas es innegable, y creo que era algo generalizado en el estilo de Hillman. Y eso no quita que muchos de sus temas me gusten. Desde que lo conocí hace más de 20 años cuando mi hermano compró un CD llamado "Matrix" ( creo que era de 1994 ), y me llamó la atención. Años después he ido descubriendo otra serie de autores y grupos donde esas influencias de TD ( y Klaus Schulze, entre otros ), eran plasmadas de manera más personal y original en mi opinión. Artistas como Redshift, Wavestar, Free System Project y algunos otros, muy buenos ... Saludos.
