Craig Padilla/Zero Ohms/Skip Murphy – Beyond the Portal
CD, Lotuspike, 2009

February 10th, 2009 saw the release of “Beyond the Portal”, which is the follow-up album to the 2005-cd “Path of Least Resistance”.
This time, Craig’s collaborator Skip Murphy joins the duo Craig Padilla and Zero Ohms (aka multi-flutist Richard Roberts) on an elegant and smooth sonic journey.

Meant as an exploration of an inner space opposed to the excursion through the outer spaces as found on the previous album, “Beyond the Portal” offers six long tracks making up 65 minutes of intimate, harmonious, flowing and occasionally even ethereal cosmic music with slightly sequenced parts, of which the warm, lush textures incorporate elements of new age and deep space music.

Bathing in these constellations of interstellar soundscapes feels as a cosmic dream unfolding like a continuous flow.
Highly recommended to space music fans!
