nawamike One of my favorites. I just love this album. Favorite track: Landfall.

rvss.eel Ascendant has my favorite body of work on Synphaera, and while they consistently improve from album to album, the biggest jump might be seen here (I'm referring to Meridian without the [EX]). I didn't discover this until this extended version was released. While I very much enjoy this as a whole, I prefer to separate the [EX] tracks from the original and listen to them as two separate pieces, [EX] being much more minimal ambient (and slightly less on rotation). Favorite track: Solar Invocation.

Anu Kirk Ascendant (like many of their labelmates) create something between ambient music and soundtrack composition.

Like a cooler Tangerine Dream, if they had pursued "Love On A Real Train".

Meticulously crafted synth soundscapes propelled by sequences and subtle percussion move along or spin in place.

Great for backgrounds to your favorite activities, or listening to in detail. Favorite track: The Age of Earth and Stone.

about

Welcome to the [EX]panded edition of Ascendant's landmark album, Meridian. This double-album features four new ambient re-workings of your favorite tracks, and for the first time ever, a physical release in a deluxe 6-panel double-cd digipack.

If you are here because you heard our music in the game Stormland by Insomniac Games, you're in the right place - this is the album from whence the music came.

10,000 years from now. 10,000 light years from here. A New Land, come of age into a time of abundance, transcendence and enlightenment. The Age of Earth and Stone, where…

An enlightened man exists alongside post-singularity machine AI that manifest as floating coils of light. Frozen clouds are summoned and then flash-melted to provide the planet’s water, and liquid has memory.

A planet where habitats the size, shape & semblance of mountains hover over large bodies of water. A planet where enormous belts of sub-orbital forests scrub the ozone and provide oxygen.

A world where gravity bends, but time does not. A world of alchemical transmutation, elemental summoning, and abundance.

The Age of Earth and Stone.

Meridian.
