GENERAL INFORMATION
=====================

Artist: Gert Emmens
Year: 2005
Genre: New Age / Electronic / Berlin School / Ambient
DESCRIPTION
==================
A deep rumbling drone gets 'Rendezvous With 2004 MN4' underway. A lovely slow haunting two-note melody calls out and receives an echoed reply. A superb sequence flies forth. A rhythm fits perfectly between the pulsations and we are now careering along at quite a pace, gentle pads providing a contrasting softness. Strident lead lines strike up in the sixth minute as if shouting out in ecstatic joy, the positive vibes being enhanced by the deployment of a further jaunty sequence. A belter of an opener! The title track comes next appropriately oozing misty, brooding atmospherics. A sonic shimmer makes it sound as though the rays of the sun are trying to break through but are answered by a powerful bass sequence as if forcing them back. A brighter sequence then strikes up, battling with the first and we are soon in an avalanche of wonderful pulsations.
A slow wistful melody hangs in the air like birds soaring high above looking down upon it all. All subsides to gentle pads in the sixth minute. This gentleness suddenly develops an uneasy character however as if darkness is descending. Another sequence, of the lovely deep rumbling variety, now becomes the main feature. A big whooshing sound heralds the arrival of a steady head nodding rhythm. From here the music once again becomes very positive and optimistic. 'Nostalgia' commences with cosmic colouring before bright melodic tones let rip. They fade away as a sequence breaks through and grows in stature. The pace quickens with the introduction of motoring rhythms. With four minutes to go it is all change in every department but things are still syncopated with a positive joyous edge. 'Casting Shadows on the Cold Ground' begins all dark and eerie like being in a forest alone late at night. The sounds of animals, or worse, being constant companions. Little chattering unintelligible vocal effects add to the feeling of dread. A really deep sequence starts up. Another is added, twisting and morphing around the first superbly creating an ever-shifting pattern of notes from which are launched a lead line (using an eerie fifties type Sci Fi film sound) and multitude of sonic twitters and whooshes. The best track on the album.
'The Morning After- extended version' first appeared on a compilation but at half this length. The sequence comes in very quickly and once more it is excellent. Again the mood is uplifting and full of hope (obviously not that sort of Morning After feeling on losing count of the number of beers consumed the night before). Little melodic touches are allowed to hang in the air then fade into the ether. The strongest melody line of the album so far then hurls itself triumphantly from the speakers- wonderful stuff. At around the seven-minute mark all is change as everything subsides to windy effects. A very different sequence to the first strikes up and when combined with the accompanying melody the mood is somewhat more reflective. 'Requiem Pour Sam' begins with a little echoing motif but a sequence and rhythm are also deployed almost straight away. Fitting to the subject matter the overall feeling is rather sad but there also seems to be a positive element there too. So to sum up- some great sequences and fine melodies but for the most part much more uplifting than your average 'Berlin School' type album. (DL) David Law
