4 stars SEQUENTIA LEGENDA, Laurent SCHIEBER, musician near the German border from where the notes of the Berliner School of Klaus SCHULZE still resonate; atmospheric electronic music, stratospheric pads, cosmic wanderings, overloops and other computer sequences, sequences like Sequentia; space legends, electronics for a journey even further than the stars; we have the name of his 14th album since 2014 which also revisits ASHRA, TANGERINE DREAM and which diversifies the sound modulations by sequences!

"AROUND THE GREAT CENTRAL SUN" takes the listener directly into a dark space filled with monolithic notes of hope; chiseled notes with a few overloops and entourloupes just to escape without possible return; 20 minutes that cannot be heard passing, a time limit. "THE RING OF GOLDEN LIGHT" takes us on an air of TANGERINE DREAM, titles of departure, lugubrious, introspective; it takes 4 minutes to warm up, 11 to find the musical space rail worthy of Schulze; at 20 minutes the station wagon brings you back to earth in a multi-dimensional decompression chamber, guaranteeing a new wandering with angelic choirs. "BON VOYAGE" refers to the spiral atmospheres of the master, it is different and there are a lot of analogies there; it turns, overloop, it feels like coming back in the past, the sounds seem to stop and it starts again, a natural hallucinogenic drug. "LOVE FEEDS LOVE" for the bonus on harmony and light, the essence of life; a radio edit who knows... to plunge your head into the vacuum of space with just a breath of oxygen to see where Love is.

SEQUENTIA LEGENDA tries to bathe us in a world without fear, without war, without stress (without reproach I don't know); a world where you are alone with your ideas for a certain contemplative outcome. A bit of his soul and his heart is hidden inside, it's up to you to find them before leaving in this hypnotic space. "Alcyone" largest star of the Pleiades, nodal point of reference, a sort of vortex synthesizing our energy or how music can further reduce the temporal sensation. Laurent would have fallen in love with SCHULZE with ''Mirage'' recent album in SCHULZE's discography; personally it's ''Moondawn'' for the 70s and ''Dreams'' for the 80s; 35 albums on my counter to find vibrations that Laurent was able to revive from near or far, on purpose or not; it's my 4th from him which allows me to cheerfully revise old sounds. A SEQUENTIA LEGENDA album can't be explained, can't be dissected, can't be chronicled, we talk about it, we dream, we reminisce, we stay quiet, absent in front of the moving world, we spin with our mouths closed through the stars without a particular vessel, just by spitting out a little oxygen to move forward, turn right, jump into the cosmic void.
