It’s been five years since Steve Grace’s debut as Logic Gate with From the Silence, which I thoroughly enjoyed. His sophomore release Voyages takes his classic Berlin school leanings even further, seamlessly blending a variety of moods and sounds into a complete concise package. Synths and piano meld perfectly on the title track, a subdued number that has just the right melodramatic edge to it. The main theme has a majestic feel to it, coming at the beginning and the end of the piece. It’s the soft piano section that really sets it apart for me, a beautiful counterpoint to the rest. Bubbly gurgling synths drift in on "Starlight,” a short mellow space music number. "Permafrost” starts with a cold wind, then a two-note bass line and a simple synth phrase. This one shows Grace’s finer touch with composition, patiently moving the music forward in a natural progression. Throughout, the music is devoid of excesses that can render some retro music as kitsch. "The Voyage Home” is a fitting finale, nearly 15 minutes of analog heaven. At times Voyages reminds me of Rogue Element’s excellent debut Premonition, another disc that clearly pays homage to classic Tangerine Dream, fully capturing that essence but distilling it in a fresh way. This is an essential recording for retro fans. - Electroambientspace
