25. JONAS REINHARDT - MUSIC FOR THE TACTILE DOMEThere's this ace trend right now of otherworldly, space-age music and when it sounds as captive as this, we can consider ourselves lucky earthlings. There's no great need to generalize other than to introduce new listeners to the captivating, starry sound. It's not exactly a tight little music scene, as it's a vast universe out there.
I first started to pick up on it last year as the sounds of Emeralds and Oneohtrix Point Never received high critical acclaim and with Grouper earlier ths term releasing some killer sounds, it starts to get pretty addictive.
So, where do Jonas Reinhardt fit into all of this? Well, as the title track beams in, it feels like you're in for the journey of your dreams, as glittering synthesizers twinkle all around. It's mind-bendingly gorgeous stuff and the music that follows picks up and drops off the pace as we cruise around space. This differs from the aforementioned compatriots, as it feels like a solitary, focused space mission as opposed to revelling in zero gravity
