‘Solis’ is an EP release through Onyxia Records. ‘Solis’ is mostly atmospherics and ambience, but also features piano, guitar other electronic instruments. Songs on ‘Solis’ almost remind of new age; that dreaded yet sometimes-pleasant genre. Things are quite peaceful and harmonious on these four tracks, but not particularly exciting.
I suppose being exciting is not the intent of these songs. Rather, it would seem that the intent of these songs is to relax and sooth- which is accomplished. I am not overly impressed however by some of the stock sound choices, such as chirping birds and other such organic creatures one hears on these four songs occasionally. Although, if I were looking for background music before bedtime, or if I operated store and wanted something to play for customers, I wouldn’t hesitate in grabbing this cd.
