Wellenfeld - Ring of Saturn

Wellenfeld are German musicians Andreas Brand and Detlef Dominiczak. They play beautiful ambient electronic music. Ring of Saturn is from their stunning cd: “Trip to Illusion“. “Wellenfeld is a German duet who creates EM since 2003. As indicated on their website, Detef Dominiczak and Andreas Braun have no intentions to reinvent the wheel, but bring their poetic and melodious touch to EM universe. Trip to Illusion is their 3rd opus. If Cosmic Waves had astonished a new public with vigorous and harmonious compositions, the 2nd opus, Fusion, left these new fans perplexed with a quieter atmosphere. Trip to Illusion depicts the maturity acquired by the duet since. A harmonious album, with superb arrangements and surprises on each title, giving a specific identity to all of them, always respecting the melodious approach which had allured the fans on Cosmic Waves. A little like a symphonic progressive rock, Ring of Saturn opens on pompous and majestic synths. The rhythm is woven tight on one melodious synth, with a symphonic touch, where beautiful percussions crack, supporting a fluid tempo which increases in intensity on beautiful enveloping orchestral arrangements layers. Borderline to a Jarre sequencing line, the movement evolves on a beautiful synthetic refrain which sticks instantaneously to the ear. Ring of Saturn depicts extremely well Wellenfeld sonority. A very harmonious music with synths which multiplies the melodious lines, with orchestral arrangements sometimes enveloping, other times tearing, in order to create the maximum of emotion. And that works pretty well, because without really exploiting progressive topics with various musical directions or steps, Wellenfeld offers a pleasant synthetic music with light rhythms and convincing harmony“
