5.0 out of 5 stars A melodic flight through the ambient sky, September 22, 2000

This review is from: Ether Dome (Audio CD)

Richard Bone's music is really compelling. I prefer ambient music with some sort of theme, whether it is a musical, tuneful one, or overdubs. Richard Bone's music is graceful and very interesting to listen to. It is definitely on the ambient with a musical theme side, as you can hear the cut "Unawakened". The more ethereal, ambient flavor of his music comes out in cuts such as "The Introduction of Gilbert Abbott". All the cuts on this CD are very good. Playing the CD from one end to the other maintains interest throughout, and never gets repetitious, or dead. Richard Bone also does music which is completely different, but equally as wonderful, on his own Quirk label. Amazon carries the latest one, Ascensionism. I recommend both CDs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully shadowy and hypnotic, October 9, 2002

I heard several tracks from this CD on a Hearts of Space show, and knew i had to have it. Each track is different enough to keep you interested in the entire CD, but an eerie yet dreamlike mood is held throughout. Mostly electronic instruments create a canvas that a minimalist piano paints upon. If you have any other Richard Bone releases, but not this (or The Spectral Ships), you'll be surprised ... this isn't like anything he had ever done before or since. Really great stuff.

Why 4 stars? I reserve 5 stars for CDs that are classics in every sense. The audience for this CD is limited, but if you need something to get you in an eerie/dreamy mood, you'll enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into the Ether with Richard Bone, June 12, 2000

By

Richard Bone is fast becoming one of my favorite artists in the ambient-chill-transglobal-with-a- Brian-Eno-twist genre. I risk limiting scope with such a description of this music, for words are not adequate to describe the soothing segues and melodious justapositions achieved on Ether Dome. A must for the serious collector of ambient/chill...
