TIN EAR - NAME THAT MOOD - CD, January 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Name That Mood (Audio CD)
MUSICIANS NETWORK MUSIC MAGAZINE CD And Music Reviews August 1997 TIN EAR - NAME THAT MOOD - CD: This CD features the music of David Loucks. It starts off with "Brass Overture". The patches are so real sounding - you'd never know they were done on a keyboard. This is amazing stuff. I was fortunate to work with Dave a couple of years ago. His musical mind was constructive. Hearing harmonies & parts I couldn't comprehend. As an engineer he was patient & soft spoken but driven to get the best from a band that was possible. I knew he had a background with film scoring - this blows my mind.. It's moody, compelling & seductive. Inside the body of an ordinary, "wacky" guy lurked the mind of a musical marvel. "Flower In The Rapids" is a beautifully performed classical piano piece. Several other beautifully written & performed piano pieces follow (they're my favorites). Brother Allan takes on from tracks 22 - 26 with his "Wasserspieler Suite" written to David. Allan employs complex harmonies, changes & dynamics. The harpsichord "Wasserspieler Invention" is clean, Bach like & immaculately done. "Wasserspieler Electronic" is ambient & moody. "Phaethon" is an excellent surprise. I'd call it classical jazz - this is pure genius! David has passed on, Allan Loucks & TIN EAR give us a chance to remember a man who touched so many of our lives, giving us some more insight to the complexity of a man & his music & introduces us to another man who holds his own.
