                          ............................

             Launching their Meanwhile Horizons imprint with suitable flair 
             in August 2021 with Beyond The Horizon. Initially through a 
             quartet of sparkling tracks, GMJ and Matter return to the series 
             with a second edition. Seven new pieces now showcase the talents 
             of established and newcomers alike within Beyond The Horizon 
             Volume 2.

             Fresh from his We Are One EP for Nick Warren's The Soundgarden, 
             Zankee Gulati opens the compilation with the atmospheric The 
             Magic Spoon. Redolent in rolling percussive groove and thickly 
             textured pads, a rippling arpeggio paves the way for a laconic 
             lead synth to meander across the 9-minute piece, taking centre 
             stage at the breakdown. Typically deep and brooding, Meanwhile 
             regular, Imran Khan, highlights a raft of production magic 
             within Serenity. Immaculately woven sonic patterns meander 
             across the aptly named track as modulated pads and layered 
             sequences mingle deliciously together. A heavy beat and regular 
             off-beat percussion add to the trademark mesmerising vibe.

             Following up on September 2022's Space Walk EP, Covsky joins 
             forces with newcomer, Frais, as the pair hit the ground running 
             with Sands of Time. Full of emotion, a wonderful sub-bass groove 
             creates a flawless foundation for a suite of elegant melodic 
             layers to weave an imaginative sonic picture, reaching a rousing 
             crescendo at the mid-point before bursting into life in the 
             second half. A Horizons debutant, Federico Puentes, paints an 
             evocative aural landscape as Autumn Leaves delivers a meticulous 
             percussive framework within which smooth motifs and breathy 
             vocal counterweight, flow in repeated patterns. Pausing for 
             breath to let the melodic elements shine, the second half 
             continues to paint the vivid melodic patterns of earlier 
             movements. 

             Another Meanwhile first-timer with releases on Mango Alley, The 
             Soundgarden and Keyfound, Billka makes a powerful impression 
             with his delicate Promises. A repeated bassline and synth motif 
             belies its simplicity as emotion is built midway via sublime 
             vocal sequences. Coupled with deep kick and light percussive 
             air, the track flourishes to a masterful sonic conclusion. UK 
             producer, Fabreeka, has witnessed an impressive rise to 
             prominence since a 2019 debut for Mistique Music, and his Dream 
             Path is full of innovative motifs that blend together to create 
             the perfect symbiotic whole. Through strong rhythm and rolling 
             hi-hat groove, the track reaches its zenith in the third 
             movement to striking effect.

             The final track sees GMJ return to familiar ground with his Qiam 
             alter-ego. Making his debut on Beyond the Horizon, Light Recall 
             is a masterfully produced ambient piece that glistens with sonic 
             stardust. Deliciously textured pads modulate across the 
             left/right spectrum, while discordant analogue synth patterns 
             play out in pitched delays before powerful bassline and vocal 
             effects lift the track through its latter stages. Intelligently 
             imagined, a raft of layers delivers intrigue and innovation in 
             equal measure.

             Eight tracks of the highest quality capture the imagination 
             Beyond The Horizon Volume 2.
