The Deep is an e-music extravaganza from
Ian Boddy, one of the world's leading practitioners of Berlin-school electronica. This fantasy soundscape is a monument known as the aquasphere. In simpler terms,
Boddy has created a soundtrack for the study of the world's oceans. This deep soundscape has elements of symphonic synthesizers, progressive rock, chorale vocals, and atmospheric ambience. But
Boddy stays true to form and the Berlin-school sequences dominate his sound design. The mix features snatches and riffs of the complimentary styles. This disc is a classic gem. It will appeal to fans of Ron Boots,
Tangerine Dream,
Klaus Schulze,
Radio Massacre International, and
Global Communication. It is essential electronica. ~ Jim Brenholts
