Mines Of Nebula – Signal To The Empire Algol (Album – Heerwegen Tod Productions)
Genre/Influences: Dark-Ambient, Cinematic.
Format: CD.
Background/Info: This is the debut album of Mines Of Nebula which is a solo-project driven by Jester Valpurgus.
Content: The work is leading the listener into an imaginary world of darkness and light; there’s a constant duality between relaxing, vintage, Ambient music on one side and a darker, space-like universe on the other side.
+ + + : This is an interesting interpretation of Ambient music; it makes me think to legendary Ambient artists which have been transposed into a darker perspective.
– – – : I’m missing a true climax in the tracks although the work remains fascinating -and probably even more while joined by illustrations.
Conclusion: The darker side of Space-Ambient music.
Best songs: “Secrets Of The Astral Spirit”, “The Urza’s Tower”.
Rate: 6½.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
