Iotronica - Of Moons and Stars, the cosmic ambient / new age space music album of the year?

Tuomas, have you heard the band Radio Massacre International?

I think I've heard some tracks, but IIRC they had more electric guitar I can stand for. Other than that they sounded pretty cool though... Do they have any guitarless space music records?

The early records under the name DAS are sans guitar.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check them out!

Basically, my platonic ideals for space synth music are, on the one side, Vangelis' Heaven and Hell and Constance Demby's Novus Magnificat (grandiose stuff with choirs and uplifting melodies), and on the other side, Meg Bowles' Blue Cosmos and Pete Namlook/Tetsu Inoue's Shades of Orion albums (slow, all-encompassing cosmic drones). So any recommendations along those lines are welcome, I'm not super familiar with the genre. I guess Iotronica is somewhere between the two extremes, it's not all drones, but the melodies and choral bits are more subdued than with Vangelis or Demby.

To be clear, I meant recommendations in the new age/space music end of the spectrum, ambient stuff like FAX, Biosphere etc, I'm quite familiar with.

This gets a little sleepy for me around the midway mark, but the pulsing synths/soaring strings combo on the first few tracks is fantastic. Gonna check out some Vangelis next.

this sounded cool, a bit Michael Garrison if you will!
