After their critically acclaimed first album "Northern Consequence" from 2000, "Oceanic Empire" is the debut on the Groove-label from this international trio consisting of Tony Anderson, Kent Eskildsen and Jens Peschke. Electronic music and trios: you can't almost help but thinking of Tangerine Dream. Well, Navigator's music surely has traces of this legendary name. Just take the first track "The Journey" which opens with guitar arpeggios and then moves into some great sequencing and guitar soloing. This is a sort of new version of "Stratosfear". There is more. In the six pieces on "Oceanic Empire" you'll hear a sublime mix of sequencer music combined with fine melodies and very strong solos of guitar and synths. "Flashing Blue" is an excellent example of this. It has a superb base melody. There is even more because there is also room for spherical ambient sounds in pieces like "Island Of Silence" and the title track, which, with almost 24 minutes is the magnum opus of the CD. This piece opens with Mellotron strings and moves some of the strongest sequencerlines ever heard. After a long ambient-intermezzo the sequences return, even better. There is a lot of retro-electronic music going on at the moment. "Oceanic Empire" can be regarded as one of the highlights.
