Muse of the Round Sky by Paul Avgerinos Paul Avgerinos : Muse of the Round Sky.
 Beautiful ambient space music.

Vibrant with the elemental beauty of the Greek islands, flowing with the bardic song, dancing with the ancient rhythms, Muse of the Round Sky journeys to the heartland of Western civilization to find a resonance for today.

These richly impressionistic soundscapes were inspired by Avgerinos's ancestral homeland of Greece. Guest artists include guitarist Brian Keane and Omar Faruk Tekbilek, who plays Middle Eastern flutes. The composer's dense synthesizer textures and dreamy electronic effects make the album feel like one long, luscious mirage.

One of the deepest, most moving works since Peter Gabriel's Last Temptation of Christ. Bewitching compositions. Reach [es] back through the aeons. The mix of ancient acoustic, and cutting edge digital instruments create [s] a timeless quality. A journey of discovery to mystical places, encountering magical characters. A discovery of self and of history.
Synthesis

Sure to fuel the imagination with its richly impressionistic soundscapes. Hot desert winds seem to blow through selections featuring Omar Faruk. Brian Keane contributes elegant acoustic guitar, and soprano saxophonist Marion Meadows wails like an ecstaic dervish. Dense synthesizer textures and dreamy electronic effects...make Muse of the Round Sky feel lke one long luscious mirage.
