BUD (STUNNING TRANCE AMBIENT ALBUM)

TECHNO/TRANCE (AMBIENT)

Trance music with an Ambient twist - in other words, synth and sequencer rhythms galore that sparkle and race around your head, over, under and around, with an assortment of great melodies that weave their merry ways as layer after layer unfolds, with the result on the first track being a cross between Tim Blake, Shamanic Tribes On Acid & Banco De Gaia, deceptively repetitive on first hearing, but play it again, and all the nuances and subtleties within, come into bloom - a striking eight minute opener, and it works a treat. As for the rest of the album, as ambient trance music goes, it’s got one hell of a lot going for it, as a wild ride of rhythms drives forth, sometimes more bass-oriented, sometimes higher register, but always with synths, sequencers and electronic percussion in perfect harmony, as melodies, spacious tunes and string synth textures form just part of the overall make-up of these largely seven to ten minute compositions. If you think trance music is something that will drive you senseless with its rhythmic qualities, then this will come as a complete shock, because it is a serious listening musical experience that could change the way you think and feel about modern electronic music forever, and as such, comes highly recommended to all electronic music fans who may be sick of the old ways and want something new, exciting and vibrant that isn’t going to drill holes in their heads. It is a quite superb CD, but, as with all great music albums, the first play will not always reveal the full extent of emotional reaction it is well capable of producing, so make sure you give it a second play before passing judgement.
