RON BOOTS: "SEE BEYOND TIMES, LOOK BEYOND WORDS" Groove Unlimited 2008 Excellent album this one by Ron Boots. The seven compositions in it included have a great strength and an emotional beauty. The style, bold and avantgarde as it is, is situated on the border between Space Music and Synth-Pop. A general trait of the album is the fact that the music happens to be very intense, vital, as if reflecting strong emotions. The melody is ever present in all the pieces. The rhythmic structure of the music tends to be based on the sequencers. In many passages, the rhythm assumes the role of melody, given its complexity. Accompanying Boots, the following musicians participated: Gert Emmens, Paul Ellis, Harold van der Heijden, Henry Peeters, Frank van Bogaert and Martijn Ruissen. All tracks were composed by Ron Boots, except Boellistian by Paul Ellis and Boots, and Radar by Martijn Ruissen and Boots. EDGAR KOGLER http://www.groove.nl |
