A Classic
by Chris Detjen
“Lost Links” is a special collection of previously unreleased tracks that never made the cut for previous albums. I was hesitant buying this music as I assumed it had to be mediocre at best, otherwise why weren’t the songs released sooner? My assumption was dead wrong. Thank you to Max for finally publishing this music. What an outstanding ambient release and more reason to consider Max Corbacho as the world’s leading contemporary ambient composer. Waves of beautiful chords flowing around you like soft evening breezes. Upon the first few listens of this album it made me reminisce back to a time when I listened to “Hearts of Space” on public radio during the late nights and first grew fascinated with ethereal ambient. This style of ambient is hard to find as the ambient genre can at times seem cluttered with endless gray minimal drone music. But when you finally hear good atmospheric ambient it really stands out. Such is the case with “Lost Links” If you have enjoyed the deep songs from Steve Roach’s classic “Dream Time Return,” then you will love “Lost Links.”
