I love Amalthea because its pulsating presence is so dynamic and it is counterbalanced by the notes played by the piano. The yin/yang of this album causes my spirits to soar in delight along with the breathing synth chordal interludes.

Some of the most exciting Berlin School electronic music I've heard in recent decades, and this is my favorite. On a par with Michael Hoenig's classic Departure From the Northern Wasteland. Check out the Mixcloud program built around this album. (Love the title's, too!) https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/in-sequencer-euphoria-by-paul-asbury-seaman/ Paul Asbury Seaman
Classically beautiful Chuck van Zyl at his best. Another indispensable piece to my Chuck forever playlist ♥️

Minimal, blippy synth music from Pabellón Sintético that feels like blinking lights on an old computer sounding off in melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2023
This is a wonderfully laid-back release and one that I regularly enjoy as I'm falling asleep. The music gently takes me away from the stresses and strains of the everyday and places me into a state of deep sleep. Highly recommended for inner space voyagers - you won't be disappointed. Chuck created a really great moment in time with this recording. Andy Bloyce
