Building on the imaginative, dreamy symphonic rock influenced by PINK FLOYD and &#8217;70s British prog rock that continues the legacy of Ben Craven&#8217;s solo work, the album combines fresh ideas and approaches from Tim, Dean, and other new collaborators to produce a dreamy, vocal-heavy melodic rock production. This high-level masterpiece, which can be said to be a legitimate evolution of Ben Craven&#8217;s solo works, skillfully incorporates the contrast between the dynamic parts where the organ is vibrant and the static parts where the acoustic guitar delicately weaves melodies, creating a cinematic sound image!<br>Bonus tracks include single edits of the songs &#8220;For All Mankind,&#8221; &#8220;Earthrise,&#8221; &#8220;Terraforming,&#8221; and &#8220;Future History Part 2&#8221; from this album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Original:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2605\u30bd\u30ed\u30fb\u30a2\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30b9\u30c8\u3068\u3057\u3066\u826f\u8cea\u306a\u30b7\u30f3\u30d5\u30a9\u30cb\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30ed\u30c3\u30af\u4f5c\u3092\u6570\u3005\u9001\u308a\u51fa\u3057\u3066\u304d\u305f\u30aa\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30e9\u30ea\u30a2\u51fa\u8eab\u306e\u30de\u30eb\u30c1\u30fb\u30df\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30b7\u30e3\u30f3Ben Craven\u304c\u65b0\u305f\u306b\u7acb\u3061\u4e0a\u3052\u305f\u3001\u30b7\u30cd\u30de\u30c6\u30a3\u30c3\u30af\u306a\u97f3\u50cf\u3092\u5275\u308a\u51fa\u3059\u30e1\u30ed\u30c7\u30a3\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30ed\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8\u306b\u3088\u308b&#8217;25\u5e74\u30c7\u30d3\u30e5\u30fc\u30fb\u30a2\u30eb\u30d0\u30e0!<br>AMBIENT DEN \/ AMBIENT DEN<br>\u25cfAMBIENT DEN \/ AMBIENT DEN<br>\u8f38\u5165CD 3,630\u5186(\u7a0e\u8fbc) (DESERT COMB MUSIC \/ DC2001 \/ 0783495652328)<br>\u5e97\u8217\u53d7\u53d6 \u30e1\u30fc\u30eb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u81ea\u8eab\u306e\u30ea\u30fc\u30c0\u30fc\u30fb\u30d0\u30f3\u30c9TUNISIA\u3092\u7d4c\u3066\u3001&#8217;07\u5e74\u3088\u308a\u30bd\u30ed\u30fb\u30a2\u30fc\u30c6\u30a3\u30b9\u30c8\u3068\u3057\u3066\u6d3b\u52d5\u4e2d\u306e\u30aa\u30fc\u30b9\u30c8\u30e9\u30ea\u30a2\u51fa\u8eabSSW\/\u30de\u30eb\u30c1\u30fb\u30df\u30e5\u30fc\u30b8\u30b7\u30e3\u30f3Ben Craven(g\/b\/programming\/vo)\u304cTim Bennetts(key\/p\/vo)\u30fbDean Povey(dr\/vo)\u3089\u3068\u5171\u306b\u65b0\u305f\u306b\u7acb\u3061\u4e0a\u3052\u305f\u30e1\u30ed\u30c7\u30a3\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30ed\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8AMBIENT DEN\u306e&#8217;25\u5e74\u30c7\u30d3\u30e5\u30fc\u30fb\u30a2\u30eb\u30d0\u30e0\u304c\u767b\u5834!<br>\u5730\u7403\u3092\u96e2\u308c\u9065\u304b\u5f7c\u65b9\u306e\u60d1\u661f\u306b\u65b0\u305f\u306a\u79fb\u4f4f\u5148\u3092\u63a2\u3057\u6c42\u3081\u308b\u3068\u3044\u3046\u58ee\u5927\u306a\u30b9\u30c8\u30fc\u30ea\u30fc\u3092\u63cf\u3044\u305f\u30b3\u30f3\u30bb\u30d7\u30c8\u4f5c\u3068\u3044\u3046\u4e8b\u306a\u304c\u3089\u3001\u30b5\u30a6\u30f3\u30c9\u81ea\u4f53\u306f\u524d\u8a18\u306e\u30c6\u30fc\u30de\u3092\u63cf\u5199\u3057\u305f\u30b8\u30e3\u30b1\u30c3\u30c8\u30fb\u30a2\u30fc\u30c8\u3084\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8\u540d\u304b\u3089\u60f3\u50cf\u3055\u308c\u308b\u69d8\u306a\u30b9\u30da\u30fc\u30b9\u30fb\u30ed\u30c3\u30af~\u30a2\u30f3\u30d3\u30a8\u30f3\u30c8\u8272\u306f\u305d\u308c\u307b\u3069\u8272\u6fc3\u304f\u306a\u304f\u3001Ben Craven\u306e\u30bd\u30ed\u8af8\u4f5c\u306e\u6d41\u308c\u3092\u5f15\u304d\u7d99\u3050PINK FLOYD\/&#8217;70\u5e74\u4ee3\u30d6\u30ea\u30c6\u30a3\u30c3\u30b7\u30e5\u30fb\u30d7\u30ed\u30b0\u30ec\u5f71\u97ff\u4e0b\u306e\u30a4\u30de\u30b8\u30ca\u30c6\u30a3\u30f4\u306a\u5e7b\u60f3\u7684\u30b7\u30f3\u30d5\u30a9\u30cb\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30ed\u30c3\u30af\u3092\u4e0b\u5730\u306b\u3001Tim\/Dean\u3089\u65b0\u305f\u306a\u4ef2\u9593\u304b\u3089\u751f\u307e\u308c\u305f\u30d5\u30ec\u30c3\u30b7\u30e5\u306a\u30a2\u30a4\u30c7\u30a2\u3084\u30a2\u30d7\u30ed\u30fc\u30c1\u3092\u91cd\u306d\u5408\u308f\u305b\u3001\u6b4c\u30e2\u30ce\u306b\u91cd\u70b9\u3092\u7f6e\u3044\u305f\u30c9\u30ea\u30fc\u30df\u30fc\u306a\u30e1\u30ed\u30c7\u30a3\u30c3\u30af\u30fb\u30ed\u30c3\u30af\u3092\u62ab\u9732\u3002\u30aa\u30eb\u30ac\u30f3\u304c\u8e8d\u52d5\u3059\u308b\u52d5\u7684\u306a\u30d1\u30fc\u30c8\u3068\u30a2\u30b3\u30ae\u304c\u30c7\u30ea\u30b1\u30fc\u30c8\u306b\u65cb\u5f8b\u3092\u7d21\u3044\u3067\u3086\u304f\u9759\u7684\u306a\u30d1\u30fc\u30c8\u3068\u306e\u5bfe\u6bd4\u3082\u4e0a\u624b\u304f\u53d6\u308a\u8fbc\u307f\u3064\u3064\u30b7\u30cd\u30de\u30c6\u30a3\u30c3\u30af\u306a\u97f3\u50cf\u3092\u5275\u51fa\u3057\u305f\u3001Ben Craven\u306e\u30bd\u30ed\u8af8\u4f5c\u306e\u6b63\u7d71\u9032\u5316\u5f62\u3068\u3044\u3048\u308b\u30cf\u30a4\u30fb\u30ec\u30f4\u30a7\u30eb\u306a\u826f\u4f5c!<br>\u30dc\u30fc\u30ca\u30b9\u30c8\u30e9\u30c3\u30af\u3068\u3057\u3066\u672c\u4f5c\u53ce\u9332\u66f2&#8221;For All Mankind&#8221;&#8221;Earthrise&#8221;&#8221;Terraforming&#8221;&#8221;Future History Part 2&#8243;\u306e\u30b7\u30f3\u30b0\u30eb\u30fb\u30a8\u30c7\u30a3\u30c3\u30c8\u3092\u53ce\u9332\u3002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/diskunion-shinjukuprogressive.blog.jp\/archives\/28314604.html Translation: \u2605The debut album of 2025 by Ben Craven, a multi-instrumental Australian musician who has produced numerous high-quality symphonic rock works as a solo artist, has launched a new melodic rock project that creates cinematic soundscapes!
