A 3-track Promoset that is announcing the debut album from Lisa Morgenstern "Amphibian", is composed from: "Allegro Con Fuoco", "Bury Me" and "Sonnet 1". The presented pieces are neatly combined from different styles that surprisingly complement each other. There is no room for randomness, and the nature of the...

Lisa Gerrard - The Silver Tree

2007-04-23 / apeiron / Reads: 7402

The third solo record from the Australian is charmingly subtle... That for sure. Lisa Gerrard lures the listener with her spirited voice, like a siren calling out to a sailor.

Sadness and happiness are joined on it by an inseparable dance. It consists of medieval and oriental (or maybe native American)...

Listening to Mr. Padatsu’s first longplay you may get the impression that his later split with Shrine was only the matter of getting known each other and discussing the details of cooperation. I’m talking about this because in some places the music from "Flowery Dreams" delusively resembles the one of...
