"Stygian Vistas" builds upon the success of previous albums, "The Inner Cinema" and "Hollow Earth". Australian musicians David Thrussell and Pieter Bourke present a fresh new collection of gourmet aural delights. This EP includes 3 new tracks and remixes from Nonplace Urban Field, Francois Tetaz (Shinjuku Thief) and Fetisch Park. SOMA also remix some of their own tracks with a succinct version of the title track and one of the classics from the "Hollow Earth" album, 'God Sends the Meat and the Devil Cooks'.
"Stygian Vistas", with its smouldering beats and wafts of subconscious soundscapes, leads the listener down a warped and winding road. Sumptuous disjointed rhythms collide into each other as spaced-out tranquility lurks in the background.

"Stygian Vistas" is an often enjoyable collection of moody instrumentals in the vein of Soma's earlier work. While it's perhaps easier to tell at a distance than at the time, Soma could be said to have had peers in groups like A Small Good Thing and Future Sound of London, bands who played around with ambient textures, breakbeats, worldwide sources of samples and instruments, and a sense of cinematic work, suggesting soundtracks to unfilmed movies. The use of twangy electric guitar on some tracks, calling to mind as it does the innovative work of Ennio Morricone, is the clearest connection to that last sense.
