I was taken aback by the scale of the sonic spectacle named
"
Lumine". It has a sensitivity all of its own, rich in exotic rhythms and
multi-layered spectral sounds. The harmonies were enticing, pulling me into a
dream that was becoming smoother and smoother as the minutes rolled by. I was
gripped by a feeling of depth in harmony that merged with crystal clear acuity
in my ear-drum.
Fine-tuned, chosen with flamboyant delicacy, a sound one
rarely ever encounters. Crystal clear guitar chords draping an ample percussion
structure, sounds unfurled from diaphanous voices were gently stalking me to
join in with a unitary tone upon an Ocean of frequencies.
The album is a complex composition that spurned my interest
from the first chimed chord. It is in my opinion, an introspection inside a
honeycomb of acoustic dreams. It has a chronology all of its own and a cyclic
tone that kept me plugged into the incandescent. The atmosphere it emanates is
electric, playful, joyful and full of emotion.
This album is fairy-tale stuff, part of a world where ears
are unprejudiced and accept music as a whole. Here, bells jingling give way to
the chime of trumpets.
A very mature creation with far reaching chromatic
under-tones, brought to perfection by everyone’s input on this project.
With muted speakers and "
Lumine" vibrating into the ether, I
cannot help but sink into the Unknown with each and every sound.
