The Edge of a Fairytale has received a couple of fantastic reviews so far. Here are some excerpts:

The outcome of "The Edge of a Fairytale" sure has been worth the wait, offering a fascinating ambient journey with a highly cinematic impact, presented as 11 tracks of deep and occasionally darker textural music. The expertly crafted and mastered soundscapes smoothly move through mysterious and dense sonic worlds, flowing back and forth through expansive spaces and darker caverns that are beyond imagination and wonder.

- Bert Strolenberg, Sonic Immersion

It's an impressive work, from the mystery of 'The Great Void' to the majesty of 'Portals In Time', with it's strings and cavernous electronic swells. Strand's fusions of light and dark; of gentle, natural landscapes and huge spacescapes, are seamless and mesmerizing.

- Meine Kleine Goatsden

These smooth compositions have a clean spacey nature, velvet drones and glossy washes welling up into curving waves of sound, softly undulating sequential phrases and patterns somewhere just below the surface. Dark, shifting masses of tone at times suggest enormous expanses, lighter strains faintly illuminating the gloom, atonal threads suggesting air movement.

- Paul, Morpheus Music

And what else - yes, I recently made an exclusive mix for Fluid Radio. The mix is roughly one hour long, and contains only my own (ambient) tracks. There are tracks from all my albums, as well as two unreleased ones. The whole mix can be downloaded for free here! I hope you'll like it!
