Description/Reviews: 

Dark Energy, Aloft’s first album, is a space-themed instrumental record stitched together from a range of influences including, among others, psychedelia, English folk, Brian Eno, Hawkwind, post-rock and spaghetti western soundtracks. A lot of the cracks between the instruments on the record are inhabited by a wide range of noises, a lot of them audio (mainly Soviet) from the space race and early satellites and a lot of them created by the band on various strange devices.
