Solitude
is the solo project of Christian Peters (Samsara Blues Experiment). This CD was
originally released as a CD-R in limited numbers in 2009 but is now out in 500 CDs. It
features 9 tracks with limited drums or percussion of cool guitar, sitar space
outs. Morninghope is a long and well
developed track with lots of cool layers of spaced out sounds and melodic guitars.
Awakening is one of the relaxing sitar ragas. I really like the Albatross with
the deep bass drone, mandolin, and beautiful acoustic guitar. Ballad of the
Black Swan brings the sitar back and is one of the longer tracks with some very
cool spaced out parts. This reminds me a bit of one of the pieces on my own,
West, Space and Love LP. Farwell to
Elisabeth is a longer piece where the synth drone plays a major role in the
song while he plays beautiful guitar over the top. Voices of the Forest is primarily
acoustic guitar but some synth layers float in. I like the echo effect, it
makes it quite psychedelic. All that’s left Behind ends this very cool record
and is a short piece and the only one with vocals. Lovely record. Fans of Lamp
of the Universe will probably like this one.
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..
