It was truly refreshing to hear this new collection of electronically based arrangements by Stephen Weber today on the album entitled Realms, I had just been mulling over a few melodies with my muse earlier too, and I found a depth of inspiration from Weber’s beautiful compositions that may well help me.

The artist has created a fine array of songs here for us to enjoy, like the smooth opus of The Realms of the Cerebral and the Visceral, the opening piece to the release, one that seems to contain energies of movement within as well as creating a portal to a classy artistic realm of electronic music.

The whole album is rich in texture and tone, one of my personal favourites was The Terrestrial Realm, a place I would be more than happy to visit in dream time. Weber’s keyboards and synths manifest something quite tranquil yet equally graphic to float within, in this brilliant eleven piece album.

This is without doubt one of those albums that has that essence of longevity and timelessness about its compositions and manifestations, examples of this can be found on works such as the smooth calmness that can be found on The Realm of Memory, or why not take a moment to explore the inner workings of sound, with the quite clever and crafted opus entitled The Realm of Daydreams, another fine example of the artists in depth musical thought processes.

I am always open when listening to a new artist and a new album for the first time, but I am more than happy to say that Realms by Stephen Weber will be getting many years of constant listening and playing from me, this is ambient electronic music at its very best, an intelligent offering, one beautifully thought-out and composed, which makes it so very easy to recommend.
