'Beyond Silence' is the new album by Gregory Kyryluk or more simply Alpha Wave Movement. It's foundation lies within the fusion of effective sequencer and cosmic music throughout the majority of it's 11 eleven tracks, but what is noticeable is the polished level of production that will most certainly hold the attention of the most hardened EM fan.
On the whole it is quite a varied album full of flowing sequencer work that any of the Berlin School repertoire would be proud of. There are also occasional Tangerine Dream and pre D-iN Ian Boddy elements thrown in for good measure but without the TD-um sometimes associated with the formers' work in recent years.
This is a good album that should appeal to those who enjoy the work of Mario Schönwälder, Tangerine Dream (Pre-2000) and Ian Boddy (90's). Great production keeps the music alive and the listener awake!(excerpt from the full review)

AWM usually delves in ambient soundscapes, but this latest release explores a realm of demonstrably sprightly tuneage.
Keyboards sparkle amidst a bevy of vivacious electronics. Crystalline riffs gyrate and cavort, defining a rather jubilant mood that is highly infectious. Gurgling cybernetics surround several simultaneous melodies that combine to achieve a remarkably buoyant sonic experience. Chugging patterns set a brisk pace for the rest of the harmonics. Sounds seem to hurry along, eager to fulfill their spry purpose. Employing a full range of sonic density, the tunes vibrate with power and authority. There is a distinct intention of fun to this music, though, conveyed through mercurial riffs that glisten with contagious optimism.
While often spacey in their overall sound, these tracks contain a solid humanity that infuses the swift compositions with an accessible charm.(excerpt from the full review)
