    I just love her so much. Endlessness feels like a natural evolution of her work on space 1.8, here there's just a bit more to dig into. More lush orchestration, more jazzy drumming, more virtuoso performances, a whole universe of different influences somehow made to fit inside the grooves of a single record.

    The synth arpeggios bubbling throughout are a personal standout for me but everything sounds great here. Space 1.8 sounded more hazy and ambient and was the perfect soundtrack for the period of my life when I stumbled into it, I hope this accompanies me through this new season as well.

    Masterful album, covering an expansive territory from jazz to deep ambient synth but still painting a cohesive picture. Love pretty much everything about this from the great cover art to the beautiful harp tones throughout.

    Sometimes I think it's kind of annoying that an ever growing chunk of all the stuff that gets released on vinyl today is reissues but then again I get to buy a pristine, perfect sounding copy of an album from 1967 that's still one of the best ever recorded and plays smoothly and perfectly from beginning to end.

    warm, soothing, beautiful and melancholic, evoking a powerful feeling of nostalgia.

    Some of my favorite sounding tracks ever committed to tape. Production wise this is probably my personal best sounding album of the last few years, definitely one to reference when recording and mixing. Vintage warm tones to die for, bass, drums, guitars and keys, all expertly played and recorded.

    A record so good that made me go and check out all the music of the featured artists as well, Parthenope, Enny, Rosie Lowe, all great stuff.

    Opening track Summer Breeze is a personal standout.

    I wish I could see these boys play live.

    great little piece of italian library music by Giuliano Sorgini. Heavy funk stylings with brass, guitar and woodwinds over a tight rhythm section. Drums sound deep and heavy, everything else sounds pristine. Perfect collection of old school sampling material.

    *originally released in 1980
