THE OCEAN INSIDE – Review by lunarcaverns.blogspot

If ambient music has one defining characteristic, I think it is to evoke a sense of wonder and mystery. This album achieves that core task both in name and in deed. The Ocean Inside takes you on a journey into the deepest depths of your being and simultaneously reveals to you the grandeur of the universe. The music is vast, beautiful, and limitless. As on Breathstream (I did a review for this earlier) The Ocean Inside perfectly harmonizes darkness with light and, indeed, shows their inseparability. Warm, caressing tones mingle freely with dark, hypnotizing undercurrents until both become almost indistinguishable. Another reviewer referred to this album as a «soundworld» and I couldn’t agree more with that description. Each track flows seamlessly into one another to create an immersive, awe-inspiring experience that’s sure to please pretty much any ambient fan. With this album (and I’m sure with his other ones too), Mr. Corbacho demonstrates that he can stand head to head with the giants of the genre such as Steve Roach and Robert Rich, and that he too can create some of the most beautiful music in the world.
10/10

«After a long search this talented Spanish ambient musician has found a new home to publish his new cd. This is Cobacho’s 3rd album, and again it has become one of pure beauty. There are 4 lenghthy tracks, the last one being the 38 min. titletrac.

They all are absolute candy for the ears. In fact, this cd offers one vast drift of transparent, non-rhythmic soundscapes; these soft coiling and morphing textures are one continues drift into the outer regions, where mysterious undercurrents escort you along the way. The title-track is the only one which features a heavy ambient beat after appr. 20 min. This is heavy atmospheric textural music for a deep drift into the dimensions of space, time and place, sometimes somewhat reminiscent to the stuff of Steve Roach, but with an nice core-sound to it all. Production & soundquality are superb.
