Vesa-Matti Kivioja 'Universo' (Ljudverket)
Forget all those battering ram-esque kick drums: sometimes, all you need is a fresh collection of synth lines and pads to whisk you away and plop you down in a more soothing place. Vesa-Matti Kivioja’s ‘Universo’ is that calming slice of music that you’ve been waiting for. The atmospherics shimmer with an invigorating glow and delicate drums play out underneath the shiny top layer, but rather than aim for the hip, they lull you into a zen state in perfect harmony with the bright synths.
