Ransom Note
“Timelines 2 from Afterlife aims to recapture deeper listening in an age of scattered consciousness…
These compositions serve as “hymns to the organic nature of us all,” dancing along the edges of deeper electronica while maintaining thought and contemplation at the core. Whether capturing monsoon mornings at Angkor Wat or Cornwall’s misty “mizzle,” each track invites listeners into Miller’s carefully constructed sonic world”

Escala De Grisos
“Afterlife’s Timelines 2 is a continuation of his exploration into the art of sonic storytelling. The album suggests infinite possibilities, yet it remains deeply personal, guided by a desire to recapture the lost art of simply being with music—absorbing it fully, without distractions.
The compositions feel like a conversation between artist and listener, blending shimmering synths, orchestral textures, and subtle electronic rhythms to create an atmosphere of tranquility and wonder.“
Chain D.L.K
“In the vast, sun-drenched expanse of Balearic soundscapes, where waves of ambient textures meet the pulse of electronica, Afterlife emerges once again with “Timelines 2″. Steve Miller, the architect behind this sonic oasis, has long been a master of mood, sculpting music that feels like a bridge between the physical and the ethereal. This latest release is a meditation, an invitation, and, in its quiet way, a revolution against the relentless urgency of modern life.”
Como Las Grecas
“Timelines 2 not only celebrates music as art, but also as a tool for contemplation and optimism. The pieces combine sensitivity and subtlety, transmitting messages that resonate with clarity and positivity. This album is a surround experience, designed to be enjoyed slowly, like an intimate conversation between artist and listener”.

“Afterlife’s Timelines 2 is a future classic in the making. It is most certainly my favourite album of 2024. The lush analogue warmth, and meandering melodies remind of a time when Audiophile & HiFi were the benchmark. Kicking back in the studio, timelines 2 on, lights low…perfect.”
