"Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night."
~Sara Teasdale

David Wright's expansive echoes pulsate throughout a vast unfolding mystery, rich in melodic undertones with attentive pacing to build excitement in pulsating rhythms and sensual reflections. Each track builds on the next and leaves you wanting more. "The Sound of Light" is melancholy with an otherworldly atmosphere and soul freeing qualities that border on the erotic, or at least promotes the feeling of an immersion in a seduction of sound.

"Deeper" invites you closer to the pulsating heart in a beautiful siren call of electronic whispers. "Bamboo" is haunting and dark, opening into heavy slashes of sound that awaken with a roar into chaotic textures reminiscent of trying to find a station on the radio. As if trying to find the exact sound, David Wright then tunes back into the flow of his atmospheric perfection. This track growls with deep dark moods and haunts the senses with a thick vast abyss of sound.

Just as you have taken a deep breath (the last track can become a sensory overload), winds whip across stark landscapes by moonlight. This is the invitation into the "Sea of Dreams," a landscape imprinted with the dance of tribal percussion. "Sea of Dreams Part 3" opens in a shattering of glass that falls to water and reflects a flight of birds against a thunderous sky. The sea swirls and writhes while on another plane, complete peace observes the chaos. It is raining and you are wandering on a beach somewhere in another world.

"Sea of Dreams Part 4" returns to the tribal percussion, leaving the sea in the distance as it escapes out into an ancestral orchestration. Piano presents peace that seems to jump from the depths into the sky, melting the stark textures into melodious ecstasy that builds into a frenzy of electronic textures as all the energy in this album suddenly swirls together and then purrs into "Sea of Dreams Part 5." The album then reaches volcanic heights in a darkly beautiful conclusion that then melts into the night and returns to the ocean from where it appeared.

"A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds.

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs,

Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,"

~Archibald Mac Leish

David Wright's "Deeper" is electronic poetry! Buy this for the journey into an unforgettable electronica experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite Simpley a "Must Have" album!, December 6, 2005

This review is from: Deeper (Audio CD)

Since his 1998 album ThreeSixZero, David Wright has gone from strength to strength and few could have dreamed that his magnificent 2002 album 'Walking With Ghosts' would ever be matched - but it has!! Indeed, many may feel that Deeper is the best thing the UK synthesist has ever recorded. There are 10 tracks, although 5 make up the epic 35 minute "Sea of Dreams". The music is decidedly chilled, but still quite rhythmic. Indeed the rhythms and the variety of rhythms are a high point of the album - and trust me, there are a good many musical high points as well. Simply put, this is one of those albums that, if you're in to melodic electronic instrumental music that has style and depth, is original without trying to be clever, then it's hard to imagine you not liking it. Indeed, EM fans are going to love it, a sentiment echoed by just about every review printed so far.
The production is quite stunning and the erotic b/w artwork excudes real class. Quite simply a "Must have".
