Magic Sound Fabric is the brainchild of post-modern composer Cameron
Akhunaton. UPLIFT DRIFT is Akhunaton's first release, and with this
album, he embarks on an ethereal journey, which concentrates on
celestial themes and space-age production. This is a series of carefully
selected electronic grooves and sound effects designed to create, if
nothing else, a fascinating assortment of musical textures and colors.

Tracks such as "Levitation Groove" and "Astro Dream Stream" will
entrance listeners quickly. Both pieces blend together sleek drum beats
with atmospheric keyboard shimmers and heaps of reverb. On the latter,
Akhunaton adds a funky wah-wah guitar to the mix as well. The last track
on the album, "Space Traffic Control," takes the space motif a step
further. Not only will listeners find themselves moonstruck by the
glittery keyboards and the cosmic drum sounds, they will also enjoy the
simulation of mission control talking in technical jargon over a
scratchy radio. Overall, this is ambient music at its most vivid and
dramatic. Few albums capture the spirit of this genre with quite as much
imagination, gusto, and consistency.
