Robert Scott Thompson released Deeper in the Dreamtime in 1991. This visionary new age soundscape ventured into territories that few in the genre had dared to risk. Few have dared to do so since. The complexities and intricacies of Thompson’s orchestrations place him on a level that other pure instrumentalists aspire to attain. Too few achieve it. Using synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, and computer-generated sounds, treatments, and mixes, he created monumental walls of sound. Electric guitars, electric cellos, and electric flutes augment the soundscape and give the album its new age and symphonic textures. Thompson’s innovative techniques are still heard in many newer recordings. The foresight and daring are captivating. The sound is vibrant, fresh, and alive.
