Spacecraft, with their release
Cybersphere, has truly gone beyond their previous work and created a disc that is, hands down, their best to date. This incarnation of
Spacecraft consists of Tony Gerber, Josie Phelan, Giles Reaves, John Rose, and Diane Timmons. It's as if all of these really talented and gifted artists came together and, for the first time, were really on the same page. Previous
Spacecraft work was good, but this is fantastic, unparalleled even. In places it verily reminds one of early- and late-'70s era
Pink Floyd: First, there's a bit of Meddle sound, and then there's a bit of The Wall sound to both the chordings and the timbres used. In places, Tony Gerber's guitar sounds a lot like the slight distorted guitar slide stylings of
David Gilmour, and the synth sounds a lot like that of
Rick Wright. This is a cohesive and well-produced recording that sees these artists at the top of their creative game. This is also an excellent place to start if you're not familiar with the whole of
Spacecraft's expansive catalog. ~ Matt Borghi
