Bob Schick A great evolution of the Mirror System sound and a completely immersive listen. The mixing of some of the classic Steve Hillage riffs into the more mellow beats (compared with System 7) are utterly superb. My favourite album of 2024. More please!

about

Route 77, the third studio album from Mirror System, Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy's chillout project, offers a serene sonic journey through spacious, dreamy soundscapes.

A mellower counterpart to their work as System 7, Mirror System's music blends soft tech-house rhythms with lush electronics and Hillage's signature guitar.

With a travel theme inspired by the vast American Southwest, Route 77 is rich in atmospheric grooves. The album features contributions from The Orb's Alex Paterson, Dan Donovan and Marv Brookes, adding to its laidback yet intricate vibe.

Standout moments include reimaginings of Manuel Göttsching's 'Sunrain' and Ry Cooder's 'Paris, Texas', which fit seamlessly into the album's flowing textures.

The closing bonus track, 'Sonora Desert Edge (The Abyss)', incorporates a poem by Allen Ginsberg, creating a vivid, immersive auditory experience.

Demonstrating mastery of the chillout genre, Route 77 represents an evolution of the Mirror System warm and distinctive psychedelic sound.
