5.0 out of 5 stars
The best kept secret in Ambient, October 19, 2009
I have followed Richard's work ever since Art Goode started playing him on Lights Out back in the 80's. Souther's work shows signature and that is the following: His style is in his melodies which are romantic, haunting, spiritual. The tones generated are perfectly selected for the ideas presented and not overused. Each song demonstrates a unique personality and conveys the right mood intended.
When Twelve Tribes came out, I was then separated from my longtime, shacked-up girlfriend and relegated to setting up my living area in the garage below our nifty little Longbranch St. (Ocean Beach, CA) apt. I thank Richard for the departures from life in the listening episodes with 12 Tribes...better than drugs, I say.
I have yet to download this work but have listened very carefully to samples and have placed this very high on my wish list...right next to Aplha Wave Movement, Ozric Chronicles and Simon Phillips. The concept behind this music is very worth going for the DVD (which is also on my wish list).
If you are a fan of ambient sounds, music, New Age, Raga, et al, Souther's entire catalogue needs to be acquired.
