Moon
of Ostara is a solo project by Fred Laird from Earthling Society. This is a
limited edition CD in only 200 copies. Only 8 pounds. Anyway, this is basically
one long spaced out Ash Ra Tempel style synthesizer, drone, space piece broken
up into 4 pieces. Fred plays some really cool guitar and some lines like stuff
you would hear on the Earthling Society records but this is more multilayers
and relaxed but also quite psychedelic with spoken word layers, lots of
different kinds of keyboard to fill in the space. It flows in phases where
there is a drum track and then the drums goes away and strange stuff happens
and Fred leads you off in another direction and these don’t necessarily correspond
with the track marks! A long section has this repetitive analog synth loop that
a lot of things develop over the top of it. In the last section some of it
reminds me of Jean Michael Jarre playing the soundtrack to Evita! A really nice
musical journey. Great work Fred…
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
