Afterlife – Timeframes – Subatomic UK
The inescapable difference between the music produced by Afterlife and that of so many others in this field is simply depth of musical vision. Found in places and locations where you can truly lose yourself in. Plus enquiry, such is the obvious thirst for knowledge. You can feel it as each layer unfolds, each weaving…

Afterlife – Halucinomat – Subatomic
By transcending the will to connect universally this invaluable series of music from Afterlife seeks out new sonic pastures with each consequent release. However, at this point given the enormity of bland ideas masquerading under the guise of electronic dance music where arrangements, impersonated sounds and cliqued provocations (not to mention the notion that you…

Afterlife – All I Wanted – Subatomic
Maybe it’s time to reappraise the words Chill-Out.

Welcome back to Magazine Sixty, Steve. You are in the process of crowdfunding a vinyl release of your Afterlife album Speck Of Gold from 2003. So the first question is why have you decided to revisit that particular album in 2018? Earlier this year I created a post on social media asking fans what they…

AFTERLIFE – STRING THEORY – Subatomic UK
So, String Theory. Is it about strings or theory? Or the combination of both? Perhaps the opening GIVE IT UP reveals part of the answer as its soaring combination of fiery Trumpets, rushing arpeggios plus timely drum-breaks alongside refreshingly cool chords all eventually crash and burn, while disintegrating into the rather beautiful Like This, igniting…
