Pedro from Test Tube writes:

"The dazzling state before the magnanimous perspective of space is something that affects most people. The infinite, the fascinating void… the senses numbed by the impossibility to explain everything that surrounds us… these are the first images that ‘Light Years’ - a new release by Lee Rosevere – awake in our mind. Lee has been releasing his works mostly through his own label Happy Puppy Records and a few others like my good friend Adam’s Proc-Records.

The beginning of this work starts with a drone that moves around within minimal frequencies, as if it was the soundtrack of a voyage through space and everything it represents – the emptiness and the fullness.

Micro-tonalities gravitate and leave us in static before the sound waves that fill the universe. The cosmos, nebulae and aurora borealis saw through a sonic telescope made of abstract frequencies, that could prolong into eternity like a Buddha Machine. In ‘Onyx’, time advances at light speed only to land in a future inhabited by machines, cold magnetic sounds that collide with the dirty steel of robots. All the speeches are strange, indefinite, leaving behind only minimalisms which end up dominating us in an almost hypnotic manner. An invasion with license to travel (to dream)..."

Thanks Pedro - it's a real thrill to be a part of the prolific Test Tube netlabel. Also, this review was found on a Portugese blog:

"Se o assunto é drones ou dark ambient (não demasiado dark), ouçam só este Light Years, lançamento recente do canadiano Lee Rosevere na Test Tube (#112). Sugestão: colocar os auscultadores e fixar um ponto algures no espaço visível (ou invisível) durante a meia hora que dura Light Years. Montado na via láctea, estou quase a chegar a Saturno. Já se distinguem os anéis ao longe."

loosey translated...

"If the matter is drones or dark ambient (not too dark), listen only to Light Years, recent launch of the Canadian Lee Rosevere in Test Tube (# 112). Tip: put your headphones and fix a point somewhere in space visible (or invisible) during the half-hour that lasts Light Years. Montado towards milk, I am about to reach Saturn. Have you distinguish the rings in the distance."

And hear/think said:
"Новое космическое путешествие на одном из самых активных нетлейблов. Гладкий убаюкивающий звук и ровные мелодии альбома хорошо успокаивают и сами закрывают ваши глаза. Включать перед сном."

"The new outer journey on one of the most active netlabel. Smooth lulling sound of the album and even the melody well and calm yourself closing your eyes. Include before bedtime."
