Elysium - Dance For The Celestial Beings

[amphiton]

Dance For The Celestial Beings is Elysium's debut album, originally released 10 years ago on the late Belgian label Nova Zemla. The album was available in the first year or so after its release, and then vanished from sight when stock has run out. Avatar and Pro File once again present Dance For The Celestial Beings as a special reissue that not only features an additional unreleased track on the album, it actually comes as a special 2 CD set and includes a whole bonus CD with tracks never released before...! Elysium is Kristian Thinning, a well know and respected producer from Denmark with a rather impressive resume on his side, with 4 full length albums including his previous one Regenerated on Avatar under Elysium Project. Kristian has worked in the studio and released music with Jean Borelli under their mutual successful project Sheyba. Aside that he has collaborated with Paul Jackson (Voodoo People), Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Avi Algranati (Space Cat), MOS and more. Elysium has releases on BNE, Matsuri, Flying Rhino, Avatar, Dragonfly, Nova Tekk, and TIP. Dance For The Celestial Beings features the hit singles Elysium, Aliens and the fameous Keep It Cool. The Bonus CD carries 5 exclusive unreleased tracks and features the super party smash Trancelestial Psychobabas. The CD opens with Munks, which was never released before and was played on Elysium live sets only.

 

Elysium's music can be described as exotic electronic down tempo trance. His reefs are airy and deliver very fine hypnotic melodies. The samples he uses are mind capturing and give an organic surrounding illusion, as if you got suddenly thrown into a savanna in Africa, or as if you were shifted to the other side of the globe, watching seals from an ice breaker in the South Pole. His music is both warm at times and chilly at other. Elysium has a mature and professional approach in his music and he does not tend to compromise when facing musical tasks while performing his musical ideas. A man that knows his job and exactly where he wants his music to goc. There is no doubt Elysium is one of the better names to come out of Scandinavia...

Indeed, this is a masterpiece. I have this on vinyl and cd already, I am for sure gonna get this special edition Nice to see that something good is re-released, so that the "new" people in the scene can also get a hold of a piece of "history".
