Mind Rotation is a sonic voyage into trance-inducing and inner space-expanding synth-scaping- that's themed around the human psyche. The five lengthy tracks each deal with a different part of the psyche- with the sound moving between bright and cascading, to tightly droning and pulsing.

Jarl is the project of Swedish electronic music artists Erik Jarl. It’s been active since 2001, so far releasing around forty releases- though this is constantly expanding, as last year alone it put out five releases. This is the project's third solo album on Poland’s zoharum.

The release comes in the form of a CD- this is presented in a four-panel digipak. It features shades of blue colour scheme, which takes in a selection of layered shapes which rather brought to mind the Tron world. The release is Ltd to 300 copies and can be purchased directly from here

Each of the album's tracks run between nine and twenty minutes. The album opens with “Mind Variation” here we find a tight ‘n’ glowing blend of locked arpeggio tones, which are slowly grazed on spacy drifting ‘n’ Intergalactic hoovering ship moodiness.  Moving on we have “Mind Symptoms” with its blend of evenly plodding purr, and more urgent circling & jittering tonality- all sounding rather like if Popol Vuh had soundtracked a sci-fi film.

The last quarter of the album finds us going from the steady warbling ‘n’ buzzing pulse of “Mind Isolation” which as time goes on features the addition of eerily glowing tone  ‘n’ vibe darts. With the release playing out with the longest track here “Mind Disorder”- it opens with a mix of sternly hovering drone glide and lightly bubbling key cascades. As it progresses we seem to drift deeper in constantly spiralling & cascading tone patterns- which wrap around one's mindscape like gliding and lightly glowing space haze.

Mind Rotation is most certainly an album to fall and drift into. Been effective as either background to reading deep space-based Sci-fi story, or slowly drifting off into the expanding canyons of one's own mind.
