When Clouds Align is Space's nine-song debut, sporting lush soundscapes and atmospheric elements that embody the beauty of progressive music. The album is also a one-man show: from the solo project's inception to post-production, Space nearly single-handedly was the unwavering force behind the album at each stage. To clarify, Space did not solely play guitar - his primary instrument with his past musical endeavors with Memento and Kevin Martin & The Hiwatts - he also was responsible for the vocals, bass, keys, and percussion on the album, as well as playing a substantial role in the programming, recording, mixing, and production of the album. Thus, the album is worth listening to simply to gain an appreciation for all the effort one musician invested into it, starting with the songwriting process, continuing with the arranging and recording aspect, and finalizing it all with the programming and mixing. Meanwhile, the music itself is absolutely stellar. "Brian Loses His Last Battle," "Only to Fly," "Hold On," and the epic title track, which features soft ocean tides rolling in to complement Space's breezy vocals, are imperative listening, especially "Brian..." Fans of Jeff Buckley, Peter Gabriel, and Pink Floyd - three acts Space cites as influences - would do themselves a great service by hearing this independently-released album.
