Strange noises meets haunting overtones and static passages to conform a dark soundtrack for infinite landscapes.
After three years of exploring new paths in the dark-ambient side of my music, this album collects music that I prepared slowly and deeply.
This album mostly explores dark ambient landscapes and is strongly based in drones; all source material come from field recordings, overtone voices and found sounds with a lot of edition, stretching and effects. Synthesizers have here a minimal presence. The music in this album sounds closer to artists like Lustmord and Thomas Könner than my other albums.
First released at artist website as free download in 2004-2005; remastered version released at ad21music during 2010-2011 and later on Altera Orbe in 2012.
All tracks composed, performed, arranged and produced by Ran Kirlian at The Blue_Room 2003-2004

Review
«This release from Spanish ambient composer Ran Kirlian is another long form journey encompassing dark landscapes and ideas, taking the listener on an extended trip of 78 minutes. As Kirlian explained to me, synthesizers aren’t that prominent compared to his other recordings, they act more as support for the major layers of organic and industrial environments.
The music itself is a bit drone-like at times, but also moving to more floating nature at times. Rather minimal shaped, it’s accompanied by treated voices, some organic sounds of metals, stones and field recordings.
It is no easy music to listen to, but it is still worthwhile and rather hypnotic when listening through headphones.«
(Bert Strolenberg, main editor & journalist on E-dition Magazine and Sonic Immersion)
This drifting work offers an inner vission of the cosmos thru a continuous flow of rhythmless textures and floating passages full of melody and harmony, creating an intimate experience with over 78 minutes of pure space ambient. Synthesizers have here a huge presence, building melodic structures, sometimes far away from the darkness I touch in other works.
The Physics of Heaven is a collaborative work with italian ambient master Oöphoi (Gianluigi Gasparetti). It is a bright and ethereal jouney that explores the transition between life and death thru different spiritual traditions and mythologies.
Cosmos is the first collaborative work between prolific ambient wizard Ran Kirlian and german based electronic alchemist Jaja (Jana Rockstroh). When Ran Kirlian and Jaja met first time in 2012 they recognized the same deep bond about space and music. 
After five years in the making and a strong process of depuration that left behind music enough for a triple album, Continuum marks the return of Ran Kirlian to space ambient atmospheres and ethereal soundscapes, collecting music recorded from 2005 to 2010 and finally mixed and mastered during 2011.
Selected Works Vol. II collects music from atmospheric, space and dark-ambient styles of Ran Kirlian composed and recorded during the years 1999 to 2007.
Selected Works Vol. I collects music from the most tribal-ambient side of Ran Kirlian music composed and recorded during the years 1999 to 2007.
Radiance, the second album by spanish ambient artist Mindglide, was recorded back in 2009 and has been now remastered and remixed into a large double album. As on previous works Radiance provides a deep journey thru the cosmos surrounded by complex synthetic sounds and harmonies with several influences from many diferent styles.
Down the Light, is the first album by ambient artist Mindglide , recorded back in 2007 and now remastered and rebuilt. It is a gorgeous space ambient work, full of nostalgic and beautiful melodies surrounded by a complex universe of synthetic sounds and harmonies with several influences from ambient, jazz and classic genres.
