            immediately after the legendary Ambiant Otaku, Zenith presents 4 delightful 
            tracks masterminded by Tetsu Inoue and Carlos Vivanco in early 94. 
            This is one of those discs that warrants purchase after hearing any 
            15-minute segment of its hour+ length. Sacred Mirror reveals an ascending 
            mosaic of proto-goan synth arrangements that could continue for hours 
            (you get a 15-minute look). Track 2, included on the Ambient Cookbook, 
            starts with the chirping of digital crickets and slowly builds into 
            a multi-octave Tetsuan meander 
            motif . Electro Dreams is the shortest track on the disc and scratches 
            the surface of atmospheres yet to follow. Plexus Solaris, my personal 
            favorite, sounds like a swirling 
            beat-oriented paragon of the Holy Dance variety. Lots of enveloping 
            waves of sound gushing 
            in slow motion from the speaker cabinets. The final track, Aura (the 
            longest track at 19 minutes), is a voluptuous monochrome lullaby that 
            permeates the listening space like a favored cloud. Plenty of material 
            here for repeated headphonaut reconnaissance sessions. |
