Significantly heavier and proggier than Outside the Universe, this album also lives up to its name. In general, Widek is a very cosmic-themed project but this album really hits with those space vibes. The atmosphere is so celestial and beautiful, even among the heaviness, but it also makes you feel like you're swimming in a limitless expanse. If you are burned out on life, listen to this album and it'll take you on a serene, solitary Journey to the Stars! Challenging Apathy
One of the tracks on this album is titled "Adventurer" and I think that's a fantastic representation of what this release is all about. It has an ethereal, dream-like quality to it as though it's the product of letting one's mind wander in a dream. As such, there's a more upbeat, joyful quality to this release that deserves plenty of attention and thought. Probably the best Widek release to relax to, though it's still full of plenty of epic and cinematic moments! Challenging Apathy
