About Melting Euphoria
Melting Euphoria were formed in San Francisco by keyboardist Don Falcone (already active in the [[artist:Thessalonians]]) and by bassist Anthony "Forti" Budziszewski and drummer Mychael Merrill. They debuted with "Through The Strands Of Time" (Stratospheric, 1994), a work characterized by spacey synthesizer sounds and tribal drumming. In many ways, the format (futuristic electronic vignettes with a subliminal psychological underpinning) evoked [[artist:Brian Eno]]'s "Before And After Science", but the first track unmistakably identified Melting Euphoria's main influence: Inner Vastness of Space echoes the trance and the suspense of [[artist:Pink Floyd]]'s "Set The controls for the Heart of the Sun", amid galactic sound effects that hark back to [[artist:Gong]]'s Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy.
