The Great Labyrinth Project - review of the CD

HOLA AMIGOS, LES SALUDA Cesar Mendoza.

With this let them know about THE GREAT LABYRINTH PROJECT, the project led by guitarist Peruvian living in the U.S. Ricardo Rodríguez. Assuming further the roles on bass, keyboards and rhythm programming, as well using midi guitar, Rodriguez has to get supply on sale on CD debut of THE GREAT LABYRINTH PROJECT, the same is available through their MySpace blog: www.myspace.com / thegreatlabyrinthproject Although This project is purely instrumental, this album has come out with titles in English and English, respectively: "From the Center of the Labyrinth" and "From the Center of the Labyrinth." Can find four songs on the album in this blog, but can also find two great musician in his blog ( www.musicazo.com.gruposlist / gruposlist.php ), looking at the section of progressive rock. What is noticed is that the input style embodied in this project is based on a sample energetic and colorful dyes eminent symphonic rock hard rock and psychedelic space-rock type, even some flirtations with jazz, modern rock, not because they so frequently fail to take noted. The main references in the compositions are RUSH, the standard symphonic yessera of roots, the ambiance of the era PINK FLOYD 73-75, waves and exotic dream OZIC Tentacles in heavier side and a stylized affectation SATRIANI .

The code is: Intro / Roller Coaster / Photography / ALGDGADU / The Awakening of the Dragon / Beautiful Sunrise / Apprentice / Time Traveler / The Princess Eskurtu / Outro

With 'Intro' We have an attractive alternate with passages cosmic curtains strong, almost prog-metal, seven eighths: this alternation works as a manifestation of something that is about to break. And the outbreak is true, indeed, with the next piece, 'Roller Coaster', from its input riffs and effervescent variants that are taking place in development. Without being a tremendously complex piece, it does convey an aura of sophistication through its successive environments, allowing round the slaughter of a cohesive composition and hook. 'Photograph' is more complex in the resolution variants that are happening, from an ethereal introductory passage to a first ground warm and melancholy, and then reach a section where cadences alternate trend most dynamic blues with others, the arrival in a brief reprise of the first ground mark an effective conclusion. Later, 'The Awakening of the Dragon "takes a step beyond the rock polenta that is crucial to the musical vision of Rodriguez, with a rhythmic foundation that is aimed more toward the realm of funky jazz-rock to give it a especially the guitar riffs. Between the photo and the dragon is located 'ALGDGADU', an issue where exotic air Middle Eastern inspiration is reflected with energy and spirit stiff, as if we were witnessing a ritual of outgoing and sober mood at a time. "Beautiful Dawn" carries a well-run lyrical simplicity, avoiding the cloying thanks to the effective use of both the ethereal sounds of guitar solos on the keyboard orchestrations. Lyrical but also more extroverted in the environment and pace, 'Apprentice' (one of the first songs that came to light in the first stage of this project) shows the facet above stylized repertoire, even I feel a slight tenebrism atmospheric density that makes an appearance somewhere in the medium. Items 8 and 9 are those which may be more successful reflected the ideology of progressive complexity. 'Time Traveler' makes a good hybrid of YES and RUSH, including passages with unusual rhythms and harmonic twists where dramatic contrasts are working smoothly. 'The Princess of Eskurtu' is not as well integrated as the previous piece, but also displayed ingenuity in its handling of the logic of the ambitious change of pace, purpose and environment: there are certain specific moments where the beauty of a single or a series chord especially shines. The minute and a half that takes 'Outro' is a resumption of the rock section of 'Intro' a good seal for a witty and entertaining album.

sincerely believe that this is a very interesting item in the contemporary progressive scene, and already I recommend the acquisition. César Inca Mendoza

adventurer Caracas RUBEN D'HERS musician plays one of the boldest creative forces of the moment in South American experimental rock. Besides his work in the KRE group hallucination, it also has much to say as a soloist. His first solo album is "Everything is at rest," a musical story seriously committed to minimalism, electronic ambience, post-rock and musique concrete. The intensive handling of the tapes operate more as an instrument than as a mere technological resource. The series of mental images motivated by the repertoire of this album refers to landscape unreal and ethereal atmosphere full of mystery, magic mist and inscrutable. All this in the space of an hour and a half minute.

'Lots Low' begins with armed gloomy environments under a halo unreal and distant where random layers dissonant scales merge into a concrete effluvium. 'The Moth' is, however, a tendency to worship the images candidly referred to by the lonely guitar chords, the ones that serve to guide the development of sound layers that are added and hiding on the beach where waves . 'Cloud Low' has a darker trend definitely framed low (not absorbed by) the footprint of the chamber-rock or RIO in its most recalcitrant reconstruction. The disturbing series of violin pieces provides a constant multiple bizarre counter to the inconsistent appearance of the guitar, the same as those which emerge and disappear mischievous ghosts in an abandoned mansion and decadent. Then comes a breeze oppressive as if he had opened the window to a world even more frightening: this is more a musical landscape that music in the usual sense. 'The Vigil and the Pearl' is a tribute to the dreamscapes of post-rock at its most languid prototype: the effects ("natural" and artificial) and guitar chords presents a wonderful portrait of melancholy contemplation in a fall, while 'Desens Silky' continues to explore this vein with built-in breath of electronic minimalism, for anything outside the influence of more spatially dreamlike aspect of the first wave of krautrock (eg, CLUSTER, KLAUS SCHULZE). Definitely, with this ethereal acoustic guitar strums, "Desens Silky" is a pretty hot number in the middle of this context. Another issue that further appeal to similar environments is the eighth, 'My Arm Off', but halfway it will fly by most disturbing sound nuances, such as creating an exaltation of the mind locked in her own spiritual cubicle. 'First Manual of the inexpressible' is essentially a mini-catalog of effects: pure deconstruction of the usual ways, as if it were a tribute to the multi-art movement Fluxus. 'Lunch' follows the same path but points to the signaling of a specific rhythmic cadence, armed with what appear to be recycled sound effects that vocal sounds such as wheezing, takeovers, jaw movements ... With his rough guitar strumming slow its heartbreaking melancholy atmospheres expressed by the orchestration of violins, 'The True God' leads us more directly to sponsorship of Sigur Ros. The pair of tracks 'Three Things Incessant' offers two separate collages of ideas that will fluctuate and succeeding under a minimum wrapping of layers held in the air as the same sky that provides the things that pass and pass on the perpetual circle of life. The trend away from the sound production gives a strange dream of the issue, even in the most bizarre ideas. And indeed that is in good doses, like the surreal lament violin that concludes the second part of this duo. The title track is largely a continuation of the recurring theme of the leaflet above, but comes adorned by humming in falsetto (very similar to the vocal of Jónsi Birgisson, Sigur Ros). These allusions to post-rock used to, once again, enshrine the following piece, 'Anna and the Palms', the same that closes the disc. In three-quarter time, the guitar pieces, layered falsetto humming sound are far from being a mystery as to the sources of inspiration

"Everything is at Rest" is a very special album, ready to be enjoyed with a particular provision and to be enjoyed with new mindsets that the listener must be arming tentatively as it flowed to the repertoire. This is a varied and equally consistent, despite the cluster of influences, also a manifesto of creative originality. RUBEN D'HERS is a true visionary of contemporary music, and I really believe that his legacy this is valuable enough to assess and disseminate it as it deserves.
