The landmark follow-up CD to “The Silent Shore”, a recording considered by many to be a ‘classic’ in the modern ambient genre. “FRONTIER” quickly became a favorite of critics and connoisseurs alike and further established Robert Scott Thompson as a leading figure in the ambient and electronic music scene. On his second release for Mirage, Robert Scott Thompson daringly ventures into darker sound territories, going below the sonic surfaces of his first release, “The Silent Shore”. His signature style traverses between the regions of dissonant darkness and consonant light. “FRONTIER” connotes a mysterious world where black and white dissolve into an ocean of diverging and blending hues. All twelve tracks segue seamlessly into an experience of dark, wondrous reverie and mesmerizing temporal stasis. “This recording is a long journey through the various levels and qualities of ambient music. Each track segues or transitions in some manner, creating a long evolutive soundscape of symphonic proportions. Based largely on the ‘classical’ ambient tradition, ”FRONTIER” evokes a mysterious world where neither black nor white exists but rather, an ocean of greens and blues in diverging and blending hues.” – RST
