 Ron Boots
"Screaming Whispers"
( Cue Records Cue 1121) cd 1997 Ron
Boots, over the last decade as established himself as one of the
leading European synthesists, and this is without a doubt one of
his finest albums to date. With this new release Boots' revives
the stylish opulence, nostalgic grandeur, and poetic refinement
of sequencer based electronic music of the seventies and early eighties.
Rhythm activated, and spatially charged, its a seductively original
work of art. Richly textured with imaginative sounds and samples
and dynamics from crunchingly intense to ethereal images of early
Tangerine Dream, Boots tears down the style barriers with this eclectic
masterpiece.The title cut as well as the other six compositions
fuse elements of rock, techno, electronic, experimental, and ethno-ambient
in an engaging blend.
Everything about this album is fascinating, and it
would be pointless to fully review all seven tracks in depth. If
you're into experiencing ground breaking new synth music, look no
further. Highly recommended.
