The Lost Colony, by David Wright

The Lost Colony

by David Wright

supported by

mark smith Thanks to Mike G for recommending this fantastic album. A real cosmic blast right from the opener (which is similar to Back to Light by Asura). Definitely has that 'spacey' feel to it throughout. Favorite track: Subconscious Matter and Other Indiginous Lifeforms.

Paul Asbury Seaman An epic, exhilarating masterpiece. The first several tracks have the feel of 1980s-era TanDream. Then comes the 24-minute title track, which blew me away with its momentum and scope. I generally don’t care for cinematic ambient, for the same reason that most soundtracks don’t work as musical albums: too much drama and forced emotions. Wright’s music often skirts the edges of these pitfalls, but is grounded in a genuine depth of feeling and exotic musical textures. Favorite track: The Lost Colony (parts 1-6).

about

'The Lost Colony' is David Wright’s musical interpretation of the sci fi novel by Matt Howarth which is also available on the enhanced CD as a PDF file.
David Wright's unique musical canvas is perfect for the expressive brush strokes needed to help capture, in our minds eye, the journey vividly presented by Matt Howarth's enthralling sci-fi novella. Of course, the adventure on the desert world is in itself expertly crafted by Matt, so David’s music is more a musical interpretation, rather than a soundtrack.
The music is very atmospheric and with a strong sense of identity and narrative. It contains some of David Wright’s strongest themes and adventurous electronic excursions from his massed array of synthesisers. Guitarist Andy Lobban also features on acoustic and lead guitar. ‘The Lost Colony’ is probably the most commercial David Wright offering to date.
"A colony ship lands on their target world to find it is not what they were led to expect. Life is a harsh struggle, a seemingly losing battle against the local environment. When a glimmer of salvation arises, the colonists must overcome fatalism and fight to support hope of survival".

Very pleasant 'light' ambient-Berlin School type of album... not in any 'spectacular' sense but really good melody fragments, hypnotic (but not 'over the top') sequencing; cosmic pads etc. Probably gets even better over time. Martin R

I can't add much to what others have said. Fantastic album in the best tradition of Berlin school electronic music. Familiar, yet fresh. Outstanding. PhilPDX50
