Spheres

RESTOCK. Scenic returns to the forefront of today's creative instrumental groups with the release of "Spheres," a limited edition CD EP containing three new songs - their first release since the critically-acclaimed "Acquatica" album of four years ago. In the intervening period the members of Scenic have developed enough new material to fill two new albums, and are nearing completion of the recording of one of them, tentatively titled "The Spheres." This EP contains alternate, demo versions of two songs which will appear on the new album, along with a third track exclusive to this release.

The group have expanded their sound palette with new instruments and effects, and in so doing have pushed themselves into the exploration of ambient, space-rock territories. While in certain aspects the music on "Spheres" recalls some of the pioneering groups of the genre (such as Hawkwind and Pink Floyd), Scenic puts a contemporary spin on the aesthetic and ends up creating something timeless. Scenic's music stands outside of current trends in the mass marketing of sound - an antidote, if you will, to the noise that permeates our twenty-first century culture. Released in a limited edition of 2000 numbered copies, in a new style Discfolio, hand-letterpress printed at Independent Project Press in Sedona, Arizona.
