Altus - Below The Root (2017) 

The trick is to keep creating-which is what you're doing- despite the pressures of the world that work against imagination. It's a worthy battle in the end!

A beautiful symphonic journey, tinged with melancholy....this is aural perfection.

Having just read the book, I am happily conjuring images from the ever detailed story and applying them to this lovely music :)

This.... is so beautiful and reviving!

I remember listening to this album on the way back to my country (new zealand) all the way from Canada, to meet my long distance girlfriend. The memories I created in that month were like the most blissful dream i ever had, and i couldn't believe that it had happened. I remember the plane wheels touching down on the tarmac while "Spirit Lamp" played. Your music has always been my safe place, somewhere I can reminisce about things i miss, or suppress the loneliness I so often experience. Thank you Mike.

Yeaahhh!!! Finally!!! Thank you very much!

another GREAT Altus album....SUBLIME!!!

I love the Altus music. So deep, so trascendental, so spiritual. Thanks to share it !!!

Beautiful as always. I love your work. Thank you so much for sharing.

I watch this music all my days in order to meditate... So deep, so wonderful...

Stunning, beautiful, deep and vivid sonic landscapes... Definitely my favorite Altus album so far!!

Always impressive Altus! Another Fantastic album! From Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Perfect!

It's awesome! So beautiful work!

Wow... Another stellar effort by Altus. I really feel like I'm "out there" in space just looking around and observing the beauty and awesome wonder of what's out there. Thanks so much for posting.

Love your work! Excited to see a new one out!

Absolutely brilliant music, reminds a little bit Thom Brennan and Steve Roach

With this album, you're able to dig even deeper with your sonic meanderings. As a result, it helps me visualize my animation work and sort out a narrative of my own. Big fan of your work! :)

Very pleasant. Masterful.

Man,your music makes me feel things that otherwise I could not feel

Mortal soil, that's a Drac Chant.. its the call of that huge inflated elementary school star dome with the lazer pointer...and a private knowledge in these transits....... its affirmative of something confrontational.. ..and of comings and goings...

thanks. .great music...the best

Wonderfull dark touche .

Very Great Album! Love it!

I like altus very much.

Fantastic album!!

fantástico!!

You haven't lost it...sounds great!

It is too inspiring, it reminds me something that we would have to remember, something close to a knowledge that we lost. It is profound. I suppose I do not have words to explain the feeling hearing this sounds. Who developed? Incredible. Tks.

My God

Is there a way to legally play Below the root on pc? The music is very soothing and nice for sleep. Below the root is a game i played as a kid on my grandfathers Apple ii. He is gone...and this reminds me of him.♥️

I'm curious to what extent ambient musicians share ideas amongst one another - the genre in general so appeals to my need for calming and filling the spaces with peace to help me focus - Altus, Brian Eno, Steve Roach, Seconds Before Awakening, Arctica, Steve Lawlor - any idea sharing or are all independently going down the path to ambience?

GORGEOUS! It was inspired on the Green Sky Trilogy, from Zilpha Keatley Snyder, not?

Nice "As above, so below" symbolism.......

Why not to create a music inspired on "The Colors of Space" from Marion Zimmer Bradley?
