Galexia 85/100

Date : Mar 3, 2020

85/100 - lighting musical opium incense, every track is a cologne or perfume; it's color RGB lighting that changes the mood of a room. This is the most fascinating Post Progressive Ambient Doom Metal album ever made.

Audioinfity is intended to be an artistic feat rather than a technical feat; although it features the largest collection of odd time signatures in one recording. While the ambiance and wall of sound is the most appealing aspects of the album, breaking it down by technical accomplishment displays just how amazing ## Artist 13197 ## 's ## Artist 13197 ## Kenneth Joseph Spaziani ## actually is as a storied prodigy.
example quite often you can hear insane time signature changes using historic Time Signatures during "Part 5" it changes from 4/4 to 7/128 to 5/8 to 142/8 to 3/4 to 4/4 to 3/4 to 9/8 then to 12/16 back to 7/128 then finishes the moment in 7/4 during a single 300 second "slow drone"
During "Part 1" we hear what in the linear notes is described as "count with me" 25/16 changes to 29/16 which makes an odd choice back to 3/4 then twists to 27/16. In the same song, we have a part called "The 4 worst years of my life" 25/16 starts off as a high prime time signature, the mood changes and we have 27/16 it gets a bit more upbeat but melancholic as we hit 29/16 (then to 4/4). It then reveres with separating signatures as it downward spirals to 29/16 to 7/4 to 27/16 to 5/8 to 4/4 to 3/4 to 25/16. then it goes right back up, 25/16 to 4/4 to 12/18 to 27/16 to 4/4 to 27/16 to 3/4 to 25/16 to 5/4 then 29/16 to 27/16 to 25/16 to 12/16 to 25/16 to 27/16 to 29/16. "at age 25 I had my mid-twenties crisis; at 27 things got... dark and at 29 I was about to spiral out before I found love and a new driving purpose."

Released as a surprise LP with no indication of a Dark Ambient Progressive Doom album was being worked on by ## Artist 13197 ## at all. It would most likely be the last thing on listeners' minds after hearing the first 3 singles for the upcoming "Galexia III" (Although with Audioinfity was actually the 3rd LP by Galexia). Spaziani states "While this is still Galexia, it was more of a "side-project" type of album; being the singular member of Galexia, to begin with it would have been harder to market it using a different artist name + It FEELS like Galexia despite being unlike anything you will have ever heard, I promise you all that; especially if you are listening to the Dolby Atmos surround sound version. It uses healing frequencies as listeners of Binaural meditation music would be familiar with"

"despite being very ambient 4 of the 5 tracks have fascinatingly intricate lyrics! Although the vocal sound is intended to blend in like another instrument and most people think it is a choir of singers chanting during the vocal parts... that is FANTASTIC to hear. Although during Part 4 absolutely brutal screaming during movement 7 at the 17:30 mark was so brutally loud, long and "honest" I was coughing up blood after the take. It's an exceptionally dark track... I believe dooming droners will love this LP and that track for its "Brutal Honesty". After entering the control room I was told "If someone was sucked into a black hole and we could capture audio of the screams - it would sound like that. That is being torn to shreds in a damn black hole."

I will most likely eventually have it moved into the box-set category due to the 2.5-hour run time, the standard edition is 3 CD's; the Digital Deluxe which features two more songs adds the length to 4 hours and 51 minutes.

Fun Fact: YouTube released "Audioinfinity" as "Audioinfity" while breaking the scheduled release date by 5 days, all major outlets and platforms changed the album titles INFINITY to INFITY. The album artwork directed famously by ## Artist 24893 ## Porcupine Tree ## 's innovative eye for art and ## Artist 13197 ## Kenneth Joseph Spaziani ## decided to keep the title on the physical/digital artwork as "Audioinfinity" while keeping the name change by YouTube as "Audioinfity".

"This will go down as one of those screw-ups that people will talk about, laugh about and whatnot. For me... Initially, it was so disappointing especially as this was a surprise album that I had been working on as much as the upcoming "proper" Galexia LP. with 2.5 hours of music and a 7.1 Surround Sound binaural mix. Despite the hard work and massive social media marketing campaigns had been scheduled for the street date of the album. It would release and then the social media tigers and articles would come out. YouTube broke the street date and numerous outlets began to start coverage, within a few hours the majority followed along and it ended up being a release disaster. I ended up finding it amusing at the same time, I officially announced that it will have a sequel LP entitled "Audioinfity" which will then be called "Audioinfinity" in stores and on streaming services.
The goal is to confuse everyone by the time we get a trilogy going!"
