Our Take

In the sprawling cosmic landscape of music, there are few compilations that manage to encapsulate the ethereal essence of the universe quite like "Dark Side of the Sacred Star". Curated by a mysterious collective of artists known only as Various Artists (no relation to the hitmakers behind "Now That's What I Call Music"), this album takes listeners on a sonic journey through the depths of the unknown. From the shimmering synths of the opening track "Lost in the Nebula" to the pulsating beats of "Black Hole Boogie", "Dark Side of the Sacred Star" is a captivating blend of sci-fi-inspired electronic music that will transport you to distant galaxies and beyond. Each song feels like a separate chapter in a larger cosmic narrative, drawing you in with its hypnotic rhythms and otherworldly melodies. While some tracks may veer into the realm of the avant-garde, pushing the boundaries of traditional music conventions, there is a cohesion to the album that keeps it from feeling disjointed. Whether you're a seasoned space cadet or a newcomer to the interstellar soundscape, "Dark Side of the Sacred Star" offers something for everyone. So slip on your favourite pair of cosmic shades, sit back, and let the music of Various Artists guide you through the darkness of the sacred star. This may be the soundtrack to the great cosmic ballet we've all been waiting for. Let's hope they'll be performing at the next lunar eclipse festival!
