Black Emperor, Mogwai, Dirk Serries<\/p>\n<p><BR>Belgian Stratosphere (Ronald Mari\u00ebn) returns with what could be his deepest album yet. <strong>Cyclus<\/strong>, his first full solo release since <strong>Rise<\/strong> (2016), \u201c&#8230;is a brilliant piece of work,\u201d says critic Serge Timmers of luminousdash.be. &#8220;It&#8217;s a powerful drone-ambient album with a dreamy post-rock feel to it. The magic that this man can create with his guitar, his bass and his pedalboard is quite stunning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>You could say <strong>Cyclus<\/strong> is a concept-album based on recurring themes, infinite delays, everlasting soundscapes and the strange and unsettling times we live in. This crisis-after-crisis atmosphere is very present here. Stratosphere&#8217;s five main themes (interspersed with short intermezzos \u2014 bridges between the tracks) represent the variety of crises we\u2019ve lived through the past few years in which one is not completely over before another one comes bursting in.<\/p>\n<p><BR>You could also say absolutely nothing, just close your eyes and allow yourself to immerse in the sonic world of Stratosphere. With his elaborate soundscapes, here and there supported by minimal arpeggios, Ronald has created a fascinating ambient album. Not only does <strong>Cyclus<\/strong> contain both Stratosphere&#8217;s shortest and longest track, it also contains loads of emotions. Gloomy emotions. The whole album feels like a musical representation of a grown man quietly weeping.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Of course, Ronald Mari\u00ebn is an absolute master in his trade. This is a magnificent Stratosphere record which each fan of his work will immediately recognize and appreciate. It contains one of Ronald&#8217;s most impressive pieces of work so far. The massive closer &#8220;Cyclus 5\u201d which could even please fans of bands like Wang Wen and Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Why? Because it&#8217;s absolutely stunning and absolutely immersive.<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: May 26 2023<\/h3>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00276%2F&t=Stratosphere%3A+Cyclus+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00276%2F&text=Stratosphere%3A+Cyclus+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00276%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/ARC00276.jpg&description=+%0D%0A++%0D%0A%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Farc00276%2F&title=Stratosphere%3A+Cyclus+%28Digital%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/cyclus-name-your-price TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[50,556,149,494],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-26946","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-digital","product_cat-drone","product_cat-stratsophere","pa_artist-stratosphere","pa_format-digital","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-924","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/26946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26946"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=26946"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=26946"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=26946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
