Review:
On occasion, we get a few 'New Age' recordings in for reviews... few are able to combine world energies into anything more than drone... while I have no objection to such, my ears yearn for melodies to intertwine with rhythm in a manner that challenges me to get up & MOVE in support of something, anything... & that's what 'Stellamara' is able to accomplish. Yes, there are some repetitive rhythmic stretches, but the composition & arrangement skills are able to keep the flow moving in the direction of inspiration. This CD hits the streets on September, 13th, 2005, & if you want music that is soothing, yet challenging - 'The Seven Valleys' will take your ears to a level that bounds beyond the 'comfort zone', & on into musical adventure. Lead vocals by Sonja Drakulich have much to do with the energy quotient involved here, but the other players (far too many to itemize here) are just as intimately involved in layering the sonic canvas so that you will be (quickly) drawn into their world of enchanted aural imagery. I like this one well enough to rate it as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all who love New Age with more! - Rotcod Zzaj, Improvijazzation
