Australia's solo project Midnight Odyssey have returned with a collection that consists of the albums "Ruins Of A Celestial Fire" "Ashes From A Terrestrial Fall" and the unreleased recording "Echoes From The Thalassic Deep" which also go for a more space ambient direction then the ambient black metal style he is known for and this is a review of his triple compilation album "Echoes Of A Celestial Ruin" which will be released in July by I, Voidhanger Records.
Ambient style synths which also use a variety of many different sounding keys start off the compilation while also bringing in elements of space music along with all of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. The songs also add in a great amount of melodies and most of the compilation is instrumental.
All of the tracks also sound very different from each other while the music also has its atmospheric moments. Drones can also be heard at times along with the second album on the compilation bringing in more of a dark ambient style as well as capturing the atmosphere of an epic fantasy movie soundtrack on some of the songs and at times the music also brings in more of a sci-fi orientated atmosphere which also dominates the third recording present on the compilation and synths are the only musical instrument being utilized on all of the releases.
On this compilation Midnight odyssey brings in a trilogy of space ambient albums that are a lot more different than his more black metal orientated material that he is more known for as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Midnight Odyssey and if you are a fan of space ambient, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "A Symphony In Stardust" "The Stars Through Smoke-Filled Eyes" and "The Tombs of legends past". 8 out of 10.
