Sleeping Pandora - Crystal Disc (2022)

The tenth album from this one-man-band from Germany.

Mathias Rosman did all the guitars and electronics here.

Mathias is celebrating his tenth album anniversary with a more space rock themed album.

There has been a lot of synths on the Sleeping Pandora albums. They have been supporting the guitars which is the main instrument throughout these ten albums. That is gentle picking on the guitar strings.

Crystal Disc sees Mathias scaling back on the electronics. He is here going for a largely clean guitar album.

There are some sporadic subtle use electronics here. But most of the music is performed by gentle picking the guitar strings and creating some echoes and reverbs with the pedals.

The pieces of music is also better and the overall quality has improved a lot from the previous albums. It seems like the best ideas and melodies has been saved for this anniversary album.

The result is his best album and a good space rock album. This is the album you should start with when it comes to the eleven Sleeping Pandora albums.
