In 1999, cryptic scenery recorded and released the album "Oceanic Feeling". Twenty years later, I have rerecorded the tracks, adding some pieces derived from the original compositions.

The 2019 perspective is different... less accessible, more lo-fi, more electronic, less organic, somewhat darker, somewhat denser, somewhat brittler, more psychedelic, more fully orchestrated...

Whichever version of the music one prefers – the old one is still around and available –, this provides an alternative perspective, twenty years on.

If possible, please play it loud.
