• Leaving Home
Sidereal intent to bring Solar Fields older works back to life continues with Leaving Home, one of the oldest albums Magnus Birgersson ever composed under his famous monicker. Originally released in 2005, like huge part of Solar Fields back catalogue Leaving Home has been out of print for many years, and we felt right to give fans the chance to have a physical copy of this brilliant piece of music once again.
Probably one of the best instalments in a consistently top-quality career, Leaving Home clearly deals with the connection between space and emotion, and the consequences of distancing from your comfort zone. And it does so in the usual Solar Fields way: through intense, layered, touching downtempo tunes.
Even thirteen years after its inception, Leaving Home is still a very current album: its soundscapes haven’t aged a single bit, its meaning even less so. In a so frenzied era, where everything is filtered through haste and technology, the very idea of artists like Solar Fields, taking their time to create vast, multifaceted environments through synthetic sounds should be praised. Here at Sidereal, we thought that such praise could come in the form of renewed graphics for both the CD and, for the first time, the douple LP version.
Incredible work. The depth, the variation of tone, the encapsulation of space, and the intricate manipulation of sound and timing... it's breathtaking. What a wonderful journey I will cherish for life. shintomaster
This album is engaging with deep bass rhythms. IMHO Aes Dana's best solo album at the time. It's timeless.
"Horizontal rain" isn't only an original title, the buildup is awesome; it's one of my all-time favorite tracks, I recommend listening to with volume up (when you're alone).
The album is full of great tracks, though. Such as "Conditioned" that sucks you in with a deep male voice that suggests a dystopian future in which I'm sure the track itself is a ray of light! Just wow. Cuc
Fragile, breathtaking music from French American artist Lyli J, lit up by softly glowing synths and gentle vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 11, 2024
