Rainbo Video is aptly named. The gorgeous colors emanating from these five compositions shocked me. Everything is meticulous, melodic, infinitely well-organized and lovely. Albums like “Shadow Relics” are rare: ones that offer new insights with each additional listen.

[Ultraviolet] is the sound of giddy excitement at fantastic detail. It is taken from the extremely beautiful album Shadow Relics.
Shadow Relics is a solid workout in true ambient and minimalism. Opener “Ultraviolet” is a beautiful and epic 10-minute plus piece, reminiscent of Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint. I’m impressed at the level of maturity Rainbo Video has exhibited with Shadow Relics. Still in his 20s, he took the road less traveled and released a piece of engaging, electronic-based minimalism.

Beautiful, haunting, and stunning in scope. Over just five tracks, he manages to loop his way through modern electronic music. This is minimal trance or ambient music, but with so many layers and textures you will find yourself lost and in love. The epic opening to the album, “Ultraviolet,” is the best of Steve Reich mixed with Aphex Twin.

Best enjoyed in the company of a nighttime sky and a tasty bev. A planetarium will do too.
