Those who love rather complex and dynamic sequencer music with an acoustic edge and an occasional high-tech feel should check out the music Paul Ellis' has put down on his amazing album "Last Hiding Place of Beauty".
The cd contains four long tracks, all making a powerful, straightforward statement, keenly melting vibrating sequencer patterns, fx's, and a wide range of vintage flavored synthesizer textures such as Mellotron flute. As said previously, the overall structure is rather complex, although lots of space is found within the core of every piece of music. The great interplay between bass grooves, drums, electronic and acoustic instruments is quite mind blowing, especially on the 16-minute title track. The overall outcome is simply breathing the joy of honest electronics more than once.
"Last Hiding Place of Beauty" really kicks some ass, so make sure you get your hands on a copy.
Great job, Paul!
