“Norwegian artist Coax, who has previously released on the Kahvi and Monotonik
netlabels, returns with his second album on Soft Phase. “From The Endless Auburn”
is a thrilling, evocative, emotional journey. Coax has crafted a cinematic masterpiece,
blending a full orchestra, delicate piano, and tumbling synths to light up the mind’s
eye. His music has a raw, poignant beauty that sinks down into the heart.
Majestic strings, dark thundering brass, and bombastic percussion swell into dazzling
vistas full of fiery arcs as planet and sun collide. Yet Coax shows us another side of
the world: contemplative, enchanting, intertwined piano melodies, shimmering harps,
ethereal choirs, and sparkling bits of diamond dust scattered through the cosmos.
It’s rich, moving audio imagery: quiet lost forests, the grand tumult of pitched
battle, and autumn sunsets blending with swirling nebulae.” — Joshua Saddler

Thanks for this! Not only some inspiring melodies and all the shades of the emotional palette, but evokes some great memories as well (months of playing Might and Magic 6 7 and 8). Personal choice: Space Lounge.
