Jim Pietkivitch
'Spiral Journey'
( Electrofine Music EM-JRP01)
This
is an album that brings back all the classic sounds and
atmospheres of mid eighties synth music, back when
sequencers were analog, and MIDI was an idea in Tom
Oberheim's mind. Jim has done a splendid job on the ten
compositions recrded here If you are a fan of Space Music,
relaxation music or simply music of soaring and uplifting
qualities then I could recommend no finer album than this.
Jim Pietkivitch's second and most accomplished CD to date
has been described by some as the finest work of its kind.
When it catches you in the mood it's easy to hear why. The
music spans the chasm between gossamer beauty and symphonic
spirituality. Had the opener 'Blue Planet' appeared as a
long lost Vangelis work it would be hailed as one of his
greatest ever pieces. In every nuance there is a meaning.
'Wings' is a subliminal outing of hitherto unimaginable
beauty. 'Windflowers' is the sort of material which sends a
shiver down the spine. Hale-Bopp develops from silken
threads into the awe inspiring vistas. It is futile to try
and further describe the sheer elegance and underlying power
of this album. It all sounds so effortlessly brilliant, but
so very few can achieve what Jim has created here. It's a
masterpiece of cosmic proportions.
