In a Benn Jordan fashion, bansheebeat brings IDM to outer space with this calming, electric EP. Galactics delivers the ambiance of a space station, and wouldn't sound out of place in Xenosaga. Rather than going for a feeling of emptiness or infinity, the EP simply lights up and pulses for the listener, taking the "emptiness" out of space and filling it with the lunar bases/space hotels of the future. "Above the Stratosphere" is the charming highlight, filled with eclectic melodies and an easygoing, exotic percussion. In its entirety, the album gives a warm, if processed, sensation of living around technology.
