Surya Kris Peters- Universo Paralelo (Electric Magic)

I am a big fan of Christian and all his projects. What a great musician and he follows his own musical path and heart.  This album is a bit of a mixture of his solo stuff, more synth driven but with the addition of a lot more tasty guitar licks that I love as another driving energy in the music.  From Distant Shores has some nice keyboard playing but really is lifted up by the guitar solo part. 

Love some of the synth arpeggiated tracks as well like discovery of Abacus. Cool track. Hard to Leave, has at least 3 synth layers to create a beautiful emotional piece (I guess about leaving Brazil). Sleepless Raag starts with a fast arpeggiated synth, then the bass line comes. Some very relaxed acoustic guitar is played here and there as the sequence build and modulates. I did not want this one to end… Back on Track Again is just over 2mins and far too short.  Could have looped the piece and just kept the solo going… Vale das Sombras (Valley of Shadows) has a darker guitar vibe over the repeated synth sequence, which slowly comes a bit more to the front as it grows and then the drums kick in and the focus changes. Dreamy and spacey but also intense. Summer Reign is another 2min piece, very laid back with acoustic and electric guitar. Wall of Sleep starts with a male vocal choir and synth sequence. Reminds me of Tangerine Dream this one. Paraiso Fechado, starts as a synth track but then there is something that almost sounds like a banjo in the middle section. A heavy guitar riff kicks in later.  Nice progressions on this track. Romantic sequence ends the album with a 80s Tangerine Dream vibe.  Another great album. Loved it..
