about

Remastered and featuring new artwork.

Original Notes by George De Bruin (2015): Cousin Silas and I have something in common: writing. During the 1990’s he penned many short stories that appeared in small magazines. He was also the editor of a magazine for several years. To this day he is a voracious reader of classic Science Fiction. His love of literature has informed his music (the epitome of which is his excellent Ballard Landscape series of recordings).

On Observations From Earth And Beyond Cousin Silas merges his love of science fiction and literature with some personal observations. The result is a release about our relationships to space and each other.
Sailing Through The Kuiper Belt opens this release by taking us on a journey through a circumstellar disc that extends from the edge of Neptune towards the Sun. The Kuiper Belt is outside of our solar system, and is 20 times as wide and 20 to 200 times as massive as
the asteroid belt in our solar system. Among The Stars carries the theme of celestial travel beyond the Kuiper Belt.
Galactic Lense brings us back to earth with an observation about man using the universe to understand the universe better. We’ve found a way to use galaxies as a lense to measure other galaxies size, proportion and age.
Colour Change is central to our perception that we often overlook it. From the changing of leaves during the fall, to the change of colours of celestial bodies. Rising and Ascension share the theme of our looking towards the skies. Looking at the mysteries and the wonders of things
beyond this world.
On the earthbound side of this release are tracks like Lament for Ebow and Two Loops, Song For Candy and The Old Church In Summer Rain. These songs touch on the relationships between ourselves, our mysticism, and our feelings for each other. Such feelings and perceptions of each other and space find common ground on Sleeping Under Nebula Dreaming About You (For I.v.).

The works of many artists in this space tend to be heavy, almost spiritually taxing. State Azure, on the other hand, always lifts my spirits with his work and gets me into a productive zone. I am thankful for your contributions. 69dragynz

This might be my favorite State Azure Album. All tracks are really nice and there are really outstanding beats in the State Azure Discography that you don't have on other releases! Sommernacht
