Dream Chimney is proud to reintroduce the world to ‘Soft Motion’, a quintessential piece of late-’80s ambient-electronic history by Ray Cheser. Originally brought to our attention by Paradise Is a Frequency who shared a track from the album back in 2018. We fell back in love with the track and partnered with Ray to re-release the full album.
Informed by his career as a research chemist and a deep love for progressive pioneers like Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream, Cheser masterfully fuses technical precision with the “undulating rhythms” and “gentle melodies” of his original vision to create a cerebral landscape that feels both scientifically structured and deeply imaginative. Available again on cassette and for the first time digitally, this freshly remastered 1987 reissue invites a new generation of listeners to rediscover the “subtle movement through the still of tranquility” that defines Cheser’s unique brand of restorative, downtempo atmosphere.
