Deep Space (1994)
Deep Space is notable for its simplicity and spaciousness - yet it is still swept with a vibrant life and colour and movement. Playing it creates an instantaneous peace, comfort and connection with each of the thirty minute tracks - opening like a rosebud.
Deep Space is an unconstrained and inspiring collage of cosmic moods that wash and flow over, around and through you as you journey to the far reaches of liquid space and time.
On this album there are two tracks: The first one Starlite is pure abstract - letting go - and letting go - into the universe - the constancy of life - and sensing yourself expanding and growing - coming home yet disappearing all at the same time (Starlite is the '2000 Dolphin Award' winning track).
The second track Celestial Ocean captures the ebb and flow, the coming and the going; the rising and unfolding - only to disappear again - a momentary wave amidst a sea of being - rising up from the deep waters of our being. Above or below - within or without - learning the ways of the Flow and how to move with it still remain a primary training focus for the novice.
Being able to see from the highest and deepest is so valuable, just as is being able to move through the cycles of space and time. Deep Space is the final album in the 'Visionary Journeys' Series with the idea that you have explored all the other titles to get here - achieving a certain sense of mastery. It's the end of the journey as we can know it from here - just being in the peace and an awareness of the Flow - completely free yet with the power to choose to be or not to be... for now we can but practice and focus.

Review
NEXUS magazine
"Japetus has been a leading ambient musician in Australia since the 1980s. Over the last year he has been remastering all his earlier works. Deep Space is a collage of cosmic moods that wash through you, taking you on a trip through the universal mind. The CD is divided into to lengthy tracks: 'Starlite' - winner of a 2000 Dolphin Music Award and 'Celestial Ocean' which ebbs and flows. Deep Space is a broad sweep, taking you on an extra-human journey, not unlike Kubrick's 2001. Very powerful and profound music."
