A couple of years ago with "Nostalgic Steps" I already wrote about the Bertrand Loreau / Olivier Briand collaboration and now it's time to review a new Bertrand Loreau album titled "From Past To Past". The album born from a collaboration Bertrand had with Olivier Briand and the Spheric Music's boss Lambert Ringlade. The album, as Bertrand explains into the booklet, born taking old sounds coming from very old tape and mixing them with new sequences. The aim was to create a sound and an atmosphere that was true to his early 80's releases using pure analogue sounds. As he wrote, maybe this is the last time he'd play long sequenced tracks and just to make you think about how this three track album could sound, think that it is dedicated to Edgar Froese, who died early this year. The album opens with "Past Never Dies" a 38' long track! Based on synth sequences it starts with a classic mix of fast paced synth rhythmic sequences and spacey sounds just to turn into a calm sidereal atmosphere with slow synth sequences and tiny melodies that are leading the listener through the different soundscapes after 15'. The following tracks "Journey Remains The Same" and "Flying Stones Over The Seas" are a little shorter (11' each) and give to the listener more sequences and space atmospheres packed into a meditative atmospheric tune for the fist one and a little more dark track with flute inserts and classic space synth sounds the second. If you are into cosmic krautrock with this release you can't go wrong!
