SKP, is a
solo project from Christian Peters, guitarist from Samsara Blues Experiment.
This is his 2nd/3rd release under this name and features
mostly synthesizer based otherworldy music. The material on this very limited
CD-R/vinyl (only 100 copies on white vinyl) is mostly taken from his release
Moonstruck that was released at the end of last year. Erematage starts things
off with some processed drums, a speaking keyboard and some droney synths. It
slowly builds up with the vocal like keyboards taking the lead to start but the
synths become more intense as it goes. Ragamati starts with a spoke word sample
and then organ and a bit of sitar mixed in as well in this really cool slow,
spacey raga. Lovely stuff as the dreamy synth takes over and a very basic kick
drum/percussion track. There is this strange static like percussion in the
right channel which is a bit distracting actually but also interesting. Great
track. Winterbottom starts with a simple guitar line and some water sounds
before the organ takes the lead in this short track. Snow Feather is a
beautiful track and with nice crossing melodies from the guitar, and keys.
Lovely. Side B starts off with Legend of
Raja Shakum. This one jumps right out in your face with a very intense keyboard
that slowly fades out as the track begins to float away with a sort of
mysterious feeling to it. A quite intense keyboard that compliments the organ.
Moonstruck Serenade features a lot of lead playing on keys, piano and synth but
takes a really cool turn at 2mins until the end. Chandra Luna has this almost
like Chinese vocal like sound from one of the keyboards and some really
interesting cut aways and changes in the first minute before finding its way.
Very cool the way this track sort of pulses at common intervals. Amazing and
very creative stuff. The closing track is mostly a solo guitar piece with some
spacey sounds in the background. This deserves
a much larger press then 100 copies. A really excellent album. If you are a fan of Lamp of the Universe,
Sounds of new Soma, West Space and Love. You will dig this..
