Sundial Aeon release their new album Mimesis

Previously called Sundial, Sundial Aeon are an ambient trance/chill out band from Poland. Mimesis will be their third studio album to date and is due for release any day now. Their previous albums Metabasis (2006) and Apotheosis (2007) were released on Flow Records. Apotheosis was quite a find for me and I couldn't help comparing it to the unmissable Northern Exposure compilation by Sasha and John Digweed. This double mix album came out in 1996 but is still a timeless masterpiece. No wonder people will pay a small fortune to get their hands on a copy.

Sasha and Digweed added effects and sounds which really created an engagingly layered listen. This certainly added an extra dimension to the tracks. They were the first to do this and pull it off in style imho. In a similar vein, Sundial Aeon's production on Apotheosis draws on emotive layers of sound which suck you in from the start. What's even more impressive though is their tracks morph and flow and as such always keep the listener interested. If you know Northern Exposure you might catch my drift by listening to the video below...


Their new album was inspired by RIESE, the secret military complex located near Waldenburg (now Walbrzych in Poland). It addresses a whole bunch of unexplained details, legends, myths and conjectures relating to RIESE . It definately sounds like a worthy follow-up to Apotheosis from our first listen. You can preview their new album Mimesis below....



Happy listening folks :)
