Apart from the fact that 'Reach for the Stars' is a perfect example of everything I love about computer music, the whole album is just an absolute belter of a piece of work. The soaring pitch-bent melodies and arpeggios, the basslines that make me want to dig out Thunderforce IV and the fact that (I don't say this lightly) some of the arrangements and progressions remind me heavily of Tim Follin. An utterly exceptional piece of work. Pure gold. Remote_
I can't believe it's already been so long since this came out. Tim Lamb is a man of many great talents. 'Theia' is definitely his most-polished work released (and a great song to drive to), though, I will always have a soft spot for the great music on 'Icarus' and featured in 'Darwinia'.
Here's hoping Tim can find time to step away from the M8 / Dirtywave long enough to put out more music. Jonathan Conley
