Inverted Land


 

Since “Secret Earth” (2019), Wolfgang Moistl’s Aka Wolf Lehmann 

First Album as Voyage Futur, the project is a solid one Greatness 

in my ambient / new age cosmos.


A Voyage Futur album rarely sounds like its predecessor.

And yet it quickly becomes clear what can be heard here.

You can almost always find a place in the apartment 

Find where you can stretch your legs far away from you.

Hands like to be folded behind the neck. The view from the window.

On the recently released “Inverted Land” by vill4in, the marimba plays 

on the majority of the tracks Big role. The fantastic pre-single 

“Ancient Ruins Of The World” also names frame drum, tongue drum, 

bamboo flute, strings & synths.


This defines the sound of the whole album quite well.

The marimba is already known from the previous album “Wellen”

No stranger. But while on “Wellen/Waves” the tracks keep coming back

turn towards Dub and Kraut – as attested in the accompanying text – 

“to bathe in Fourth World lagoons”,  (Thx The Gap!) everything flows slowly here. 

Nobody is in a hurry here.


„Night Falls” also works wonderfully in the morning, with the first one

Cup of coffee in hand. Or tea if you prefer.

And that goes for every other track on the album. 

Here and there crickets chirp or a few birds add their mustard. 


You actually want to hear it all again and again,

and right after that “Secret Earth”, “Inner Sphere”, “Virtuell Moonlight” & “Wellen”.




“Inverted Land” is released on beautifully colored vinyl, with a

beautifully designed Cover again.

Currently only available directly from Vill4in and due to the high shipping costs

not an option for me.

It's possible that there will be a tape release later. The last two releases

Released like “Inverted Land” on vinyl on Vill4in, and later there was

Tape releases on Britt Brown's Not Not Fun.
