The past works of Viennese world-builder Voyage Futur have mapped places (Secret Earth), spaces (Inner Sphere), and phenomenon (Virtual Moonlight), but their latest zooms out and up for a sky’s eye view of planetary fantasy: Wellen. German for ‘waves,’ the album’s 12 tracks ebb and flow in cinematic tides of mandala electronics, utopian fusion, and elevated ambience, shaded in gradients of DX7. Voices, mallets, strings, and bass slide and stretch like liquid plastics, tracing liminal landscapes of sunset shores under pixelated stars. It’s music both lush and lost in time, remote but rapturous, lit by the warmth of futures passed.
