Monday's Long Song

 

Almost five years ago Autotelia, the joint project of Damien Castellanos and Tom Relleen released their first and last album I. The title suggest that there will be further albums released but Relleen passed away quickly after he received a cancer diagnosis.

This album was on heavy rotation at my place when it was released because I seldom listened to an album that had such a warm sound and none of the five songs were boring. Although the record is a gently unfolding blanket of sound, Autotelia's cosmic sound forms are characterized by a lively effervescence. The suite-like instrumental pieces envelop the listener and encourage them to relax their thoughts and immerse themselves in another world.
