This is a fantastic cd! The fourth album of these two electronic masters contains a recording of the Hampshire Jam III festival on October 24, 2004.

The album consists of two pieces: "Arcturus" (Part 1 and Part 2) and the encore "Helicon". Both gentlemen have a distinctive style, and together their styles combine to produce something unique. I must say, though, that the music of ARC sounds more like Shreeve's Redshift than Boddy’s work.
The gig opens fine with effects, atmospheric sounds, a soft electric piano, and a Mellotron flute, after which Shreeve starts in with the Moog IIIC as he creates sequences that are arranged in real time and that become more dominant by the minute. Loaded with echo, this results in a fantastic sound that is comparable with the time when Tangerine Dream’s loud sound was a danger to churches and cathedrals. The influence of Boddy can be heard in the rhythms and atmospheres.
Part 2 begins with organ sounds, Mellotron strings and choirs. When Shreeve's sequences follow, there is some heavy soloing featuring sampled Mellotron sounds. This is absolutely masterful. In the nice, melodic "Helicon", the well known strings also play an important role.

These two top musicians together constantly generate albums that can be considered highlights in electronic music. (By Paul Rijkens)
