Walking on Clouds Part 1 & 2:

It doesn’t take long to realise that this album will go for a journey to space with you, but before you will get there, you will find yourself „walking on clouds“ for over 25 minutes. Great atmospheric melodies, with a spaced out synthesizer sound. It´s the first Øresund Space Collective Session with Daniel Lars on Guitar. “Walking on clouds” is based on a idea from Daniel and the other guys jammed to it. Sometimes, the guitar playing of Daniel reminds me of early Pink Floyd songs. The whole Album is heavily guitar dominated.

The Second Part is spacier, more synthesizers and some psyched out parts.

I think this would be the soundtrack if you are really walking on clouds.

Carlos on the Moon:

When “Carlos on the Moon” starts you know where the journey will bring you...far away, to a guy named Carlos. In this nearly 17 minutes the song will bring you on a really relaxed level. The synthesizers sounds like a windy autumn weather, so it create a perfect atmosphere for looking out of your window thinking about the world.

Neptune Rising:

Neptune Rising is the last track on this over 45 minutes long space trip. It starts faster and more hectic than the other songs. A track with really crazy acid parts in it. The end is the opposite to the intro of this song, its a long synthy fadeout.
