Genre: New Age / Electronic / Berlin-School
DESCRIPTION
==================
This music was composed after they were asked to play Jodrell Bank. It is inspired by the place. Being amateur astronomers they know it well. It was given its first performance at the gig but it must be emphasised that this is a studio album, not a live one. It was recorded long before their JB performance. Its an album of great maturity taking fans on a journey through new realms as well as staying true to their roots. The production is first rate giving the album a smooth almost 'slick' feel.
Waves of sound emanate from the speakers followed by a contrasting delicate piano melody. The repeated melody develops a rhythmic quality of its own. Further fantastic lead lines are added as 'Jodrell Bank Mark I' turns into an awesome opener for an incredible album. Sequences, melody and above all excitement are delivered here by the lorry full. 'Long Distance Light' starts in relaxed fashion. Suitably slow drums are added and an equally appropriate lead floats over the top. This would be ideal music to laze to on a hot summers day. Just let yourself be taken along on the back of the exquisite floating pulsations, caressed by the beautiful melody. We drift straight into 'Echoes From Shooting Stars'. Warbling waves of sound shimmer from the speakers and another highly melodic lead line is created. Close your eyes and let it raise your spirit to a higher level. The pace quickens as high hat lines are added then a distinctly 90s rhythm starts up followed by others to suddenly shift us into overdrive but then just as quickly as it came it vanishes returning us to the beauty of before. We keep alternating between power and light until we travel through the highly atmospheric 'Population and.......' to '..........Evolution' on the back of a sequence that becomes increasingly dominant as 'Evolution' gets in full flow. More sequences are added and a rhythm strikes up which really starts to let rip appropriately evolving into a real body mover.
'Jodrell Bank Mark II' begins with a typical retro sequence which mutates becoming more complex but also melodic, acting as the lead line as well as the backbone of the track. A shuffling rhythm is added and a fantastic repeated melodic motif gives it that extra umph. Some appropriately spacey vocal samples are introduced then a brilliant Schulzian lead makes an already superb track perfect. What an amazing track this is- the best on the album. 'The Universe Itself' swells with vast triumphant pads. The lead line is very Vangelis sounding, euphoric with a hint of questioning innocence.
'Descent To the Black Sun' utilizes high hat percussion over an earthy beat, its very effective I just wish it could have gone on for much longer. We finish with 'The Dream of Lovell'. Again Vangelis at his most tender comes to mind. It comes over as emotional theme music to a Hollywood blockbuster. Its got everything, symphonic surges, heart rending melodies and delicate picked strings. It could be thought of as slightly 'mushy' but even though I'm a miserable old bugger I found it profoundly moving. (DL)
