Review by Dave Reade - (from the newage newsgroup)

(1998)

THE SPECTRAL SHIPS
Richard Bone

     What do you imagine from that title? I imagine ghostly ships appearing and then disappearing on the horizon while lost on misty seas somewhere where land is a seeming eternity away. This evocative, haunting, eerie music is the best I've ever heard at capturing feelings like those just described. It's a must for anyone who loves non-beat oriented ambient/space (I always wondered how you can call beat oriented music ambient but that's another discussion), get this one. It's absolutely beautiful in a mist-erious, shimmering way. Lest you fear that the music doesn't go anywhere (like I always am when I read a description like this), it absolutely does, the compositions are delicate, yet powerful - just when I'm lusting for a change in the music, it's there and better than I anticipated. Rich textures abound. Two thumbs up, five stars or whatever means great to you if you are a lover of this type of music.
