The new Ochre is finally here. National Ignition, released January 21st, 2013, marks the long-awaited return of mastering maestro, Christopher Leary. It seems easy to get lost in the torrential influx of exceptional electronic music coming out in droves this year, but if you spend an extra hour or three on just one album today, spend it with this one. Leary has created a wondrous electronic dreamworld that could I could wander for days and still find my own aural nirvana within every listen.

Leary is known for his dedication to sonic fidelity; after all, he does own his own mastering company and has a Master's degree in music. National Ignition is the culmination of Leary's knowledge and experiences and I believe that every ounce of his ingenuity and talent was thrown into what is most-likely his most stunning work to date. As with all great music, you'll find yourself aeons away by the end of this ten-track masterpiece. I could write a page about each track, but I wouldn't expect anyone to read it when you can just listen to it (and throw your money at Mr. Leary) at Ochre's bandcamp page. Do your ears a favour, listen now.
