Although this album has recently been re-released and credited to Max Corbacho via his Bandcamp page, I think of it as jointly credited with Bruno Sanfilippo - that's the CDr version I have. Who exactly did what remains unclear but for me this is the best album I have heard by Max Corbacho.
(Max informed me that Bruno Sanfilippo asked for his name to be removed, hence the re-release on Bandcamp).
It is a hugely expansive work, with stark vistas and large soundscapes, evocative of the arrid lands of Spain where the Indalo symbol can be found. Long swathes of synth notes circle around passages of gentle percussion creating an inspiring, primal and ancient space. Deeply relaxing and calm, welcoming but mysterious in tone. Sounds often unidentifiable moving through the air, forming a warm peaceful atmosphere.
There are occasional bird calls and rustling sounds, what might be voices calling across a distance, water.
A particular favorite moment is Lava Atmospheres - a slowly pulsing drone which emanates from a deep cavernous place, gives me goose bumps every time.
This new version on Bandcamp contains two previously unreleased tracks.
