Music for open spaces ? an organic spectography of tasty electronic beats and ethereal baselines. ?Core? is an album reminiscing the originality of ?Orgship ? Orgisms? in many levels, augmented with the latest Solar Quest sound and production techniques. Gently mesmerizing melodies entwine through ethereal skyfalling dreamlines ?and organically orchestrated earthbound organic bass lines spanning deep and wide on an over 2 hours magic carpet ride. ?Core? is Solar Quest?s 4th double album and probably one of the most refined and polished Solar Quest albums up to date. A deep and subtle double album that stands the test of time by re inventing it self.
