Diatonis (Diatonis/ MP3.com: Landscape of a Dream
ByI found 110% pure meditative relaxation, calm inspiring bliss, and portals to mind-peace. Diatonis, aka Stuart White, offers flowing, warm electronic rivers, sometimes mysteriously distant, sometimes mother’s-womb intimate but always well-crafted ambience. Don’t look for melody or obvious loops or sequences – you will only experience an ever-changing current of deep-mind sonics. Whether cathedral-keyed or space-movie track enigma – Diatonis massages ALL the right ambient hot spots. This is one of my newest “repeat play” favs.
Nearest “sounds like”? Diatonis is mostly himself but on “The River Flowing” a vague echo of Steve Roach is heard. I remembered the final track of Roach’s Empetus, (LP version).
Stand-out Diatonis piece for me was “Ocean of Mercy” and it’s sweet and tender peacefulness – I was even moved to lift my soul-voice to the King of Heaven during one listen. Now that’s music for the spirit!
