From E-dition, September 2005

This is the second cd of Glenn Adams, who again surprises us with a nice blend of progressive and melodic EM. Taking off with the title track, Glenn sets course through a vast space of textures and poly-rhythms, nicely followed by the wandering textures of "Sunrise at Sheep Pass" with a short symphonic outburst. "Smooth" is a groove, almost dance-like excursion with some ethereal topping before we arrive in the slight experimental realms of "Madness" with strange voice-samples. Things slow down with the cosmic atmospheres and harmonies of "Quietly Dreaming," but with "Awakening" and "Unstoppable" things start rolling again with engaging tribal grooves. The strong 14-minute closing track "The Enchantment" is a delicate piece of spacemusic offering lush synthesizer-chords and modulated sounds. In all, "Abstract Circuitry" is a convincing, mature recording of exquisite sound quality, which promises a lot for the future of Galactic Anthems.
