Original Light, by Julio Di Benedetto

Original Light

by Julio Di Benedetto

supported by

patient_ot Very nice ambient drone and drift, with a shimmering quality at times. One of the best new ambient-oriented albums I've heard in years.

Brian Bourassa Quality work is the standard from Julio. He crafts textural soundscapes that are both engaging and contemplative. Favorite track: Helios Rising.

Richard Gürtler "Original Light" is an uniquely sculpted recording showcasing sophisticated artistry in amalgamating fabulously engrossing yearning stratums with finest essences of extraordinarily ear-bending ambiguousness. Numerous deep listening sessions with headphones are required, but then the listener unlocks the gates of sonic Eden, where splendidly textured drone consonance meets rewardingly dissonant exquisiteness. Almost 56-minute "Original Light" is a must-have CD!!!

"This excellent album will easily rank high in my Best of 2015 list. I buy so much music it's hard to devote enough time to everything. Some stuff I literally listen to once and shelve it to return to months later because it didn't impress on the first or first couple listens. I've been fighting to really make time for this album. This disc has been mesmerizing every listen, the most recent in the car today on a sunny beautiful day. It was an odd choice for the weather but somehow it fit perfectly. To me the music has a strong early Vidna Obmana feel (e.g. The Trilogy on Projekt), with the hauntingly melancholic stretched out synth chords and a feeling of deep respect for the natural environment. Whereas Vidna's sound was often cold, though, there is a warmth in this recording that envelopes like a warm blanket on a chilly day. The CD moves through different moods, from dark, to shadowy, to glistening light, remaining amazingly cohesive from start to finish. These are more like movements rather than individual tracks. Although the Vidna comparison is what initially comes to mind, it's soon obvious there is an originality to this sound. I'm very impressed by what I've discovered in this artist's music, and very much looking forward to more. I hope the album reaches as many ambient fans as possible."

What an amazing album and one of my personal favourites. It's complex, deep, emotionally moving and thought provoking. Listening with a decent pair of headphones is recommended. Madec

Beautiful tension and dynamics. Calming you, haunting you, atmospheric trails ascending and descending, rolling like waves found on an abandoned canvas. Fleeting moments and fragments like a ghost fading away into the distance, captured on old film reels that replay over & over in a long empty but lushly decorated room in the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous. The Itzamna Collective
