Amazing Sounds - Review by E. Kogler

THE SPECTRAL SHIPS
Richard Bone

    The music of this album is different from the style typical of Richard Bone, although it maintains the same spirit of sonic electronic exploration. As the title suggests, the music is mysterious. Using synthesizers to create an icy, ghostly world, Bone take us to the immense quiet of wide, dark spaces. Listening to this album is travelling throughout musical tales whose landscapes are set in remote oceanic regions of a supernatural character. These stories in a musical form are comparable to movie soundtracks, and stimulate the imagination of the listener to re-create the facts and sceneries that the music suggests.
