24 Days by Etherine Etherine : 24 Days.
 Ambient melodic electronica..

"Etherine is the name of a musical project by Michael Weeks, and "24 Days" is the first album created under the project's umbrella. The album was created as an experiment, the author wrote and recorded one song every day over a 24 days period. Despite the experimental character, it has cohesion and the inner "movement" of the album as you progress through the songs feels good and natural. The name of the project could not have been chosen more properly - Etherine creates a music that's ethereal, pure and transparent. And there's something to it that puts it light years ahead of the typical, forced-ethereal, ambient or "new age" music.

The usual "new age" products are sort of bland, just streams of peaceful sounds that are beautiful at times, but lack real meaning. While Etherine produces something that has character, and the message is clear for anyone who's open to it. The atmosphere is strongly introspective, and it clearly carries the marks of a genuine introspection - there's _someone_ behind that music, you can feel a soul's stirrings and ups and downs. But perhaps the album's biggest value resides in the "altitude" of the states of mind that are behind it. While some songs are a bit melancholic, and a very few are turned towards more earthly feelings, the pinnacles of the album are very, very high above.
