Absolute Elsewhere - In Search Of The Ancient Gods-1976 ( Full Album ) .wmv
Bill Bruford plays in it (later case was the main attractor). Spacey sounds introduce the mellow bluesy synth rock sound of this record, reminding a slightly more cosmic version of mid 1970’s Pink Floyd sounds. The rhythms are not very unconventional, so the drum maestro is not highly in front. Somekind of reference of the sound could also be Alain Goraguer’s music from the film “La Planète Sauvage“, and some moments of Camel’s “Moonmadness“ record.
In the songs there is usually some quite simple theme as leading them, and then the solos for melodic harmonies are introduced for supporting it. Though there are longer tracks on the album, they are built from very simple elements which do not construct very ambitious compositions. So quite easy-listening stuff, but not irritating to my ears in anyway, more like some kind of proto-new age record for relaxation and amusement due some symphatetic playful fooling detected from the music. This works also as perfect background music for playing Commodore 64 games (especially song “The Gold of The Gods“ for Commodore 64’s “Montezuma’s Revenge“ game). The last song “Return to The Stars“ is really great, an open calm aural space with minimal amount of events, just distant harmony.
I would recommend this for fans of vintage keyboard sounds, retrogamers. and certainly all those interested of von Däniken’s fantastic books... ( Review by Eetu Pellonpää )
