Supernova is a masterpiece of an musical journey with truly epic proportions, which wrestles with the idea of time and it s illusions. Still there is always that certain joy de vivre oozing through the grooves that created happiness. It seems more than one can ask for! Eclipse starts pounding and we all expect Mr Davis to make it a straight rocker, when step by step he pulls us into a vortex of obscurities or rather in a shadow world that you realise is his very own world. Stirring through a world colourfully painted doors and views of landscapes he always manages to zoom in on object and circle them as flies do. It could have been easy to make it straight rocker but Ryan chooses the fantasy instead and we are happy he has done so. Showing the more dance floor oriented side with the previous trax, Fading Star pays tribute to the fact, that a true Traum recording always has to carry an ambient track. Fading Star is a romantic piece of music slightly dreamlike with pale colours and golden embroideries that sits in a place high up in the sky. Microtrauma have added a rising and swelling quality to the original track of Supernova with interludes of compositional brilliance, whereas newcomer Max Rieger offers a much more strict and simplistic approach, which is very nice indeed. Last but not least Groj has remixed Eclipse very artistically switching back and forth between rectangle saw tooth sequences and twisted melodic parts.
