Gateway by Ajata

Prepare for an epic journey in Downtempo Cosmic Trance!

Grounded in lush ambient soundscapes yet woven with pulsating beats and a synth-pop flourish, "Gateway" is the first album I ever created, nearly 20 years ago, freshly remastered for 2024.

Inspired by artists such as Jean Michel Jarre, Enigma and Schiller, the production was meticulously crafted and for the first and only time I actually wrote and recorded some of my own vocals.

Tracks range from the spacey ambient trance of "Supernova" and "Lyran Odyssey" to the aggressively unrelenting "Earthfire" (intended as a protest song about how we are treating the planet) to the undulating and dreamlike ambient synths of the titular track and the atmospheric finale, "Immortality". Enjoy.
