Album description

Cosmic Lullabies is the sixth album from the Finnish ambient producer Doc and the Russian pianist Lena Selyanina, cosmic and meditative in its style and spirit.

The opening track Bell Meditation is a pure meditation song based on huge bell sounds that resonate and vibrate for extended periods of time. Gradually rising ethereal echoes from sacred eastern choral tradition mix with the bells to form a calm and majestic cosmic setting, perfect for deep relaxation and meditation.

The starting point for Neptune was Lena's beautiful impressionistic piano improvisation moving in G# Minor, "the bluest of musical modes", as Lena puts it. The piano then gets surrounded by a mysterious and meditative ambient soundworld. The entire 17 minute song can be interpreted as a long, symbolic probe-like dive through the blue, dreamlike gas layers of Neptune to ever deeper and darker realms, all the way down to the solid rock and metal core of the planet, and from there back to the starlight.

The final track Andromeda is an ambient voyage into the majestic sphere of our neighbour galaxy.

Ambient with big A. Not falling into the general new-age type easy listening, these soundscapes rise from the depths of the cosmos, bringing stardust and starlight alongside. The listener is sent on a journey through deep waters and cold emptiness of space. The sounds and engineering is sublime and atmospheres are woven together with accuracy and vision. I enjoyed the piano improvisation a lot also, brought welcome extra layer to the mix. Excellent work overall.

There's lot of Serrie, Eno and Jarre here, but in deep slumber, as if they were in cryo sleep.

"Bell Meditation" is a highly minimalistic song with slowly reverbating bells and subtle background melodies, apparently devised for meditation purposes. It's beautiful, but has so little going on that it is painful to actively concentrate on it. It is music that is by all means meant for your implicit brain, thank you very much. Or, interpreting it another way, it is one hell of a build up to "Neptune".

"Neptune" goes back to a more normal D&LS sound with Lena's piano improv and Doc's tense ambience. The piano part at the very end sounds as if you had risen out of Neptune and were still dripping water.

Finally, "Andromeda" is another minimalistic piece based on a slow rhythm. I like it better than "Bell Meditation" due to the more open soundscape, free from the constraint of those endless bells. It feels like you are flying through space.

To close off, this is the D&LS album that demands the most imagination from the listeners' part to work, or at least a willingness to meditate a bit. I believe it's good at what it does, but it's utilitarian enough that under normal circumstances most of it is not easy to enjoy.
