Proxima and Ex Proxima both featured in the Top Ten of 2010 of the very wonderful Kosmik Radiation radio show.

The last time we Rumbled together I reviewed "Proxima" by Black Tempest, a.k.a. Stephen Bradbury, which took the best bits of Berlin School music and reworked it into an analogue delight. "Ex Proxima" is the follow up release, and although a little different in sound palette it counts again as an excellent album. The opening twenty five minute epic 'Invisible Moon' begins with analogue whooshes and choir mellotron before settling into a sequenced groove echoing those classic Tangerine Dream albums from the mid-'seventies. Soon however a new theme and feel emerges, vocals and synths, propelling the work into a different orbit; then it's back to the mellotrons and Phaedra-style sequences. 'Wind On Ice' is another Berlin style track, then the album closes with 'Biodivinity,' the best track on the album - a beautifully composed Berlin style piece.
