Music, Movies
and Mayhem - A Review by
Serge Kozlovsky
METAPHYSIC MAMBO
Richard Bone
This album
begins with the birds singing and some
technogenic-abstract noises. Then an
energetic-pulsing music appears, which
harmonizes the primitive chaos and immerse you
into a maze of the synthetic world. This is
the composition "Cancion Del Arco". Its mood
is taken by trance-covering "Sultana", in
which Oriental tunes are observed. But they
are indissoluble with a gaping blackness with
the open space. And whirling in the whirlpool
of the beating rhythms, this music like a
radiating on the edges black column is flowing
into a boundless interstellar space. I would
name this composition "a melody of the cosmic
dervishes". And Space begins to dominate. It
carries you away in its infinity (composition
"It's Quite Romantic"). In the music of
Richard Bone present a broadness and flight of
inspiration, and also a power is felt in it.
To all the said above I can add that this
music is not traditional: Richard Bone
masterly uses a lot of the most fantastic
sounds, and he originally works with various
noises. He is both a talented artist and a
brilliant sound engineer. And his music with
all its saturation with most whimsical sounds
and emotionality does not irritate a listener
and does not try to capture his attention. It
can be played at the full volume, and at the
same time it can be a perfect background. In
general, a "night" quality is at present in
Richard Bone's music. Listening to the
"Metaphysic Mambo" , you can feel like sitting
under an endless gaping-black sky, filled with
bright glittering stars.
Composition
"History Of The Earth" takes you to the
distant past of our planet. And this world
comes to be incredibly technological. You see
spaceships, arriving and leaving from the
landing sites of the techno-megapolises of the
Earth. And you comprehend this planet as an
indissoluble part of the United Space
Community...
"Priapus at
Dawn" is like a message of some distant
extraterrestrial civilization, delivered by an
extraordinary cyber-creatures. Richard Bone is
connecting in his music this world with a
cosmic world, considering the Earth as a part
of the Universal Organism. "Every Word She
Mambos" is a Space Erotica, extraordinary
impressions, rainbow circles of an orgasm,
inexpressible ecstasy of confluence, which
contains bliss and infinity.
"Without Name
or Number" -- the Inexpressible begins
dominating and, observing and comprehending
everything, one does not need any names:
Limitation completely leaves place to
Infinity, which has no name.
"Lamda
Rising" is a finishing trait, warm waves of
Love, which calm the heart, flight of the
Spirit to the meeting with the Unknown,
aspiration to the new worlds.
Listen to the
"Metaphysic Mambo", this completely
extraordinary music, which is able to open to
you new sides of this ordinary world and help
to broaden your perception.
