“Many have asked me what is Digital Fields meant to mean ? well it is a method of determining the field of Vision using digital Lines in a geometrical form. so the first album was about seeing the world through our own line of Vision on a personal level. each person sees things differently or perceives things in a different way . In Digital Fields the first release It was how I saw things that inspired me in each track in different situations like Night Train a journey I once travelled through Europe from Berlin to Paris & the sounds in each station was different & being Nightime the atmosphere was impressive & so with all the other tracks .. & now in 2012 Digital fields II is seeing things through a different perspective ... on a different side of the world ....”

“A Very apt title for this album because there are a lot of strange elements that have gone into the making of it. Many albums ,weather by accident or design,take on a certain theme. A running order, if you like. Within a few tracks you feel you know where it's going . Not with this one ! ElectroCelt's long-anticipated new album keeps you guessing all along. The band is often likened to probably the most famous EM band of all. I imagine that can be a bit of a curse.So when I put the CD into the player i was expecting the familiar sounds of TD. Sure there are moments when you catch their influence but in genera this album is very original & bursting with their own ideas. There's a hybird of sounds on "Strange Elements" none of the tracks take on the standard "song" formula.So if you like to stretch your listening experiances then this album is for you !

"Massive Attack Stole Our Beer! (Kyoto Mix)" which title indicates that it is based on a true story! When ElectroCelt recorded a session at Peter Gabriel's Real World studio, Massive Attack litterally stole their beer! Stylistically it bears resemblance to some of Johannes Schmoellings' solo work, flavoured with some Japanese sounds, as heard from Yellow Magic Orchestra. Apart from some groovy rhythms and structures, the melody line is particularly infectious. In "Subzero Limits" the pulse and synth geräusch is similar to "Astral Voyager" from Green Desert, where the crisp guitar sound loans a bit from Jerome Froese's formidable guitartronica album Shiver Me Timbers. The melancholia is not too far away from what certain goth rock bands would deliver.

“A few days ago I got a tip about Ocean Reef, the new EP from ElectroCelt. I've been interested in TD covers and tributes for quite some time, and this EP came as a very nice surprise. The long track "Emerald Sand" is a sort of medley between TD's "Green Desert", "Monolight" and "Coldwater Canyon". It oozes of dedication and positive energies, and is pretty much very awesome. The lead guitar is not surprisingly a predominant actor in this piece, and its sound is very Edgar-authentic”
