Pius: Pagan Alchemy Vols. 1 & 2
Salem, MA composer Dino Simonetti doesn’t like to limit himself - his projects, released under various monikers, range across the length and breadth of the electronic music spectrum. The Pagan Alchemy titles reside at the ambient end of that continuum, filled with a variety of synth pads and eerie melodies, with an undercurrent of percussion that keeps the music from stagnating beneath its own introspection. Some of the tunes herein would be very suitable for trance work, especially if you prefer a more shamanic, rhythm-oriented approach to trance induction. Others, such as “Far From Home”, are full of quirky, percolating melodic jabs that are better suited for the dance floor. These discs top out at over 70 minutes apiece, so there’s sure to be something in the mix for everyone.
