Luminous by Computer Music

*The following is an extract of the full mini-review that appeared in print issue 296 of Computer Music.

180 string sample textures. Eight bars a piece. Keylabeled. At 120bpm – that’s the facts. The feeling is more like dawn breaking over the distant ocean horizon, as last night’s triumphs settle in your memory, and the feel of the warm sun spreads its glow over your face. That’s this pack, son! Each mesmerising swell, rich in harmony and orchestral majesty, soundtracks an endless loop of time lapse images in your mind. God knows what it would do to a crowd at a festival, at 6:45am, three days in.

Completely sublime.
