"The Great Central Sun" is the fourth album in a series of imposing dark ambient exploratory albums. As usual, it is composed of just two long tracks billed with enigmatic names, suggestive of an introspective and even mystical sound experience. Listeners are here invited to explore hidden and mysterious aspects of themselves and the universe.

"The Great Central Sun" oscillates wildly between drone and ambient, in a mysterious, hazy atmosphere evoking images of interstellar travel and mental exploration. It stands as a true sensory voyage, immersing the listener in a dense and complex sonic universe. These two long pieces seem eternal, taking us from another space-time continuum, while the elaborate textures and hypnotic synthesizer sounds of Thighpaulsandra create a captivating atmosphere. The result is a work in which every detail is crafted with remarkable precision, a transcendental experience, a vision of a world beyond reality.
