Neon Blue Utopia is the 16th album by space-faring Australian artist deepspace and his fifth on Projekt Records. Fusing ambient, electronic, spacewave, dreamwave, shoegaze and post-rock, deepspace creates a tantalizing and dream-like wide-screen experience filled with hypnotic fractal detail and immersive sound dimensions. Through detuned synths, droning guitars, shimmering infinite washes, occasional filtered drums and hyper-real found sounds, it's a kaleidoscope of fragments not unlike a technological aural reef -- soaking, submerging and surrounding your auditory senses.

Like something out of an Iain M. Banks novel, Neon Blue Utopia portrays a place from deep inside the collectively-created musings of science-fiction thought: A vast megacity, hanging somewhere in the cosmos, a place of liminal wonder, bizarre and unclassifiable, comforting yet frightening. A place exists, of immeasurably advanced technology (powered by recently discovered mineral, neon blue), where visitors can visit aalgeous underwater precincts, where inhabitants are suspended in breathable liquid, going about their day; immense towers where one can parkour up high without danger; biomes with forests and buildings inside rooms on hidden floors of apartments; suburbs filled with huge soft bubbles that pulsate sound; highways of upside-down plasma-powered cars; near-infinite vistas thousands of kilometres high above a nearby planet. The music suggests these seemingly impossible ideas by sonically representing places that are vast, oddly microscopic and everything inbetween. This album is the most surreal and luminescent voyage yet in the deepspace catalogue.

No AI was used in the creation of this music. Every sound was composed, arranged, played and edited by brain, eye, ear and hand.
