The music of Foreign Spaces possesses a magical charm to which one is irresistibly drawn.

As a retrospective on more than a decade of  Foreign Spaces, the opening piece 'Birth' is particularly successful - it signals the birth of a new era in electronic music. While the original heroes ventured into commercialised styles, Foreign Spaces began to unfold the vast treasury of sounds in the electronic field.

Indeed, Foreign Spaces signifies the opening of doors to foreign worlds and the perfect integration of the new with the old, be it a zither, the noises of a baby or guitars. The naturalness displayed in the weaving of aural atmospheres in the truest sense of the word is uncanny. 
This lies, last but not least, in the mastering by EROC, a pioneer of electronic music, who truly understands how to put the finishing touches to the excellence of Foreign Spaces' production - two generations of EM meet each other and create a flawless harmony. 

Not just for lovers of electronic music, will the world of sounds from Foreign Spaces contain aspects of aural aesthetics into pure culture.
