Transmitting from the northern hemisphere, Devils Mind Records proudly presents Kiriyama’s debut album ‘Reach Escape Velocity’, a blend of trance styles infused with the twilight sound of Scandinavia and mysticism of Goa. Permeated with the surrounding atmosphere of Oerebro, the journey draws on inspiration from various sources that together form a platform from which these aural transmissions are spread about. Departing in the small hours, the style thematically progresses throughout the album, layer by layer, slowly fading through the abstract night and opening up to the melodic twilight zone. It is subtly mixed to make it as suitable for home listening as it is for dancefloor experiences, though it was primarily contrived to be surfed through in one go. This 79-minute journey is graphically enriched with enchanted scenes from the Swedish High Coast Trail, which is listed on UNESCO’s list of natural world heritages as there is no other place on earth where the land has risen as much as there since the freezing days of the last ice age. A mere 15% of the world is within the boreal temperature zone – that is, parts of northern Europe, Canada, Alaska and Russia – and naturally this yields to peculiarities found nowhere else but here.
