about

The mighty opener that is the 19 minute title track has it all, big atmospheric opening, sequencers aplenty but with that all-important distinctive edge & just for good measure, some impressive drumming by Harald Van Der Heijden. Although this is a very sequencer led piece (with all the attendant teutonic overtones that this implies), this has always been a part of Ron's music (& indeed most EM) & Ron doesn't bow to any retro fads, the music is very much in the Boots style, as is also the case furing the shorter, more restrained "KGM" which follows directly on. Such comments apply equally to "Centre Of The Sphere" which can be found later in the album where a no-nonsense bassy sequence sets a solid basis for Ron to go to work in his own unique way. However, the same can't quite be said of "Thunder Road", the opening sequence of which sounds a lot like that of "Phaedra" (sorry, but it does!). It is to Ron's credit, though, that by the time the track is over, these similarities are largely forgotten as he puts his own stamp on the piece with some fine melodic & chord work.

"Forgotten Memories" is an appropriately touching number with gently soaring leads providing a focal point that carries the latter half of the track along nicely. In the past Ron has often opened his heart in his music (as well as on his album sleeves) & he does so again here to great effect.Using the same methods Ron has never hidden his admiration for the ladies either (not that there's any reason why he should, of course!) & the closing track "Soft Skin" is doubtless inspired by this fondness. Musically, this sees him trying something new, with a chilled, smoking trip hop flavour more reminiscent of Massive Attack than anyone else. The ambient chords & vocal effects add to the far out nature of the music so immerse yourself in this music & pass me a joint, brother!!!

Presented in a fetching tin box, this album sees Ron Boots on top form & is another must-have from this Dutch musician as throughout the music is played with feeling & conviction.

One of FSP's finest concerts, it is fantastic to have as an official release, after years of listening to a b**tleg, and in FLAC. Essential listening for anyone who loves EM/Berlin School. eugene51
