Every track teems with beautifully recorded guitars. The real feat is that, while such high importance is placed on processing and tiny details, it’s never at the sacrifice of melodicism, a sense of melody pervades the entire album. Inside The Sky is a great album. It is like no other of which I can think. It is purely instrumental, but is produced and structured like an album of pop songs. Timeless.

Fresh outta Feral Media comes this, an excellent genre smashing post everything release from Alpen. It’s full album of intricate micro grooves featuring smoothly integrated live and electronic elements. And great melodies and hooks. Quality stuff, get you some.

Genres be damned – it’s art

Some things, but not many things, are more important than music.

Almost completed in 2007, INSIDE THE SKY was shelved when Danny’s son, Lewis, was born. In 2009, just as Danny resumed making the finishing touches to the album, his number came up in the Green Card Lottery run by the US State Department.
He and his young family decided to pull up stumps from Sydney and move to New York City. The Feral Media recording studio and HQ in inner Sydney were dismantled & sold. During 2010, Danny rebuilt his studio on Manhattan and mixed INSIDE THE SKY.

INSIDE THE SKY is a beguilingly simple electro-acoustic hybrid, a natural successor to Alpen’s acclaimed 2005’s debut album Overdub. The Sopp Collective created the design and packaging and have sculpted another outstanding limited-edition release.
Recorded in Sydney, Melbourne & New York, the all instrumental album features regular Alpen collaborators Greg Seiler (Comatone), John Tjhia (ii, Aleks and The Ramps) & Martin Kirkwood (Splinter Orchestra, The Sacred Cows).
The album title was inspired by the book INSIDE THE SKY by William Langewiesche.
