Beyond the Edge is the last in a trilogy of albums charting a musical Sci-Fi journey to the edge of the known universe. In comparison to its predecessor 76 Lightyears it is more classically spacemusic oriented in style with plenty of floating and sweeping synths plus various "out there" effects that convey a sense of mystery and being in the far reaches of space. The other difference is that this album has an obvious spiritual dimension which is reflected in the choice of track names and sounds. The first track "Ianus" can be thought of as a reprise of refrains from the previous album, including the female computer voice. In this respect it acts as a bridge from where the story left off. In the next track "Dark Matter" there's a sense of mystery and the unexplained as drones and various effects whoosh or flicker past in both the foreground and background. A speedy but croaky male voice also adds to a sense of uneasiness. Sometimes the musical narrative picks up in pace. The piece "Dance of Lost Souls" starts off with electronic notes flickering to and fro, some of which build up to short lived sequencing. It's a kind of arrhythmic dance of disoriented sounds flitting around the soundscape. Some brief sequencing is also heard again much later on in "Levels of Consciousness - Enlightenment" where deep shifting chords and distant animal sounds take over from starlight sequences scattering across the depths of space. Running through the album is a thread that might be considered spiritual. Towards the end of the album this gets more noticeable where there are three tracks based on levels of consciousness in between tracks like "Trinity" and "Destination of Prayers". A few of these pieces besides having flowing synths also incorporate choir type vocal effects whose emotional resonance reminded me of the title track on Ian Boddy's Aurora. Albums with such a distinct narrative element are fairly uncommon in my experience. Beyond the Edge works well because it only needs a modicum of vocal storytelling to help get the story element going, after that the music does the rest.
