"Movements," the sixth full-length studio album by Solar Fields, originally released in 2009 and remastered in 2018, is a captivating journey through the realms of ambient, space music, and downtempo. This album, spanning a generous 1 hour and 36 minutes, features 12 tracks, including the bonus track "The Return." Solar Fields, the moniker of Magnus Birgersson, weaves an intricate tapestry of sound that is both immersive and introspective.
The album opens with "Sol," a gentle introduction that sets the tone for the sonic exploration to come. Tracks like "Circles Of Motion" and "Discovering" showcase Solar Fields' signature style, blending electronic textures with ambient soundscapes to create a sense of movement and discovery. "Sky Trees" and "The Stones Are Not Too Busy" delve deeper into the ambient realm, offering moments of tranquility and reflection.
"Dust" and "Das Bungalow" introduce subtle downtempo elements, adding a rhythmic pulse to the otherwise floating soundscapes. "Feelings" presents a more melodic and accessible side of Solar Fields' music, while "Patterns" and "The Road To Nothingness" return to the ambient and space music roots. The album concludes with "Breeze," a serene and soothing track that leaves the listener in a state of calm.
Originally released on Ultimae Records and later on Droneform Records, "Movements" is a testament to Solar Fields' ability to create music that transcends genres and defies easy categorization.
