< RELEASE DATE : Out now!>


Infinite Scale's first release on Boltfish is a cohesive storybook of carefully crafted tracks

I bet it is, let see if it is :

"Leaving for another day" seals itself around your visor and blocks the harmful radiation spears from attacking your head, and corrupts your vision, leaving the spacewalk in danger of being cancelled. As you attempt to push the glowing creature out of view, pulses of toned down bubble wakes and electronic rubs escape into the zero gravity environment, leaving a trace of a mysterious encounter out there forever.

"My aquatic life" on the other hand takes you deep down into the bowels of an abandoned piece of terraforming machinery which has been undetected in this sector for the past thirty years. Metallic warblings and porous scratches blend seamlessly with the sky tracing melody, which has cast a spell over this ship and maybe its former crew. All paths and readouts lead to a small constantly changing shape in the corner of the canteen area, walking over to the item; you bend down and take a look inside......
A really beautiful piece of music.

"The wind does not always blow" takes you on one of those rich and luscious journeys into places you have been before but have forgotten about. It’s all about sub classy basslines and husky callings which almost resemble a voice of some kind, stick this together with the sparkling fuzzy spores, magical atmosphere and feelings of exploration and its already time to get packed. Cool stuff.

"The painted audience (never fail you)" ends of the ep with a tranquil but manufactured one way mission into the puzzling heart of a gargantuan creature who decides to roam through the galaxy just for something to do. Whistle away with the friendly giant and delve deeper into space than any human beforehand. Yeh, lets go!


'Automated Compositions' had my head floating around in the dark matter just outside our own atmosphere. It’s the perfect soundtrack to the first exploration of Europa..Whats the worse that could happen?, it didn’t say we couldn’t ever go back.

A gleaming patchwork of universes and supernovas in a bitesize package.

Recommended.
