FROM THE PLEIADES
Kevin Kendle
Release review by: Steve Sheppard Radio Presenter, BBC Radio Solent and Quality
Beats Radio "...
There are many joys in life, but musically nothing quite compares when the expectation
of a new Kevin Kendle album finally arrives.
Kevin Kendle is one of those quality artists
that never seems to let you down and therefore you wait with baited breath to
sample some more of the musical genius that is without doubt unrivalled.
The expansion of the Deep Skies series is a natural, but a much
needed series of albums to uplift the soul on it’s journey through life, rarely
does a series of albums give off that quality of passion that shows on every level
Kevin Kendle is in touch with his creative
soul and ours the listener as well.
Track one may surprise some, but those
who know the artist's work well, will remember that the opening to both Light
From Orion and Lagoon of Eternity, were either powerful,
deep and full of an energy, or all three.
The
track Dance Of Electra starts in almost similar
style, where with delicate skill he touches us with a brief resonance of his First
Light Album, then moving us towards the last Deep Skies feel of “Star Clusters”
from the Lagoon of Eternity C.D. then into what has the sense of
a Mike Oldfield style piece and thanks to the help of both Nigel Shaw
and Brian Abbott, it works brilliantly.
The album continues with
the the second track Alcyone. The piece is
described by Kevin Kendle as meditational
and a journey that as he says characterises the entire Deep Skies series,
I found this piece haunting. When Kevin Kendle
plays piano it always hits at a deeper resonance; there is something about this
track and the piano that really takes the listener further inside their own psyche
than they will ever imagine. This track is simply beautiful and extremely mystical.
I defy you not to get lost in the hypnotic beauty of Alcyone...
"... Maia from the mythology of the Greeks
was the most beautiful of the Seven Sisters. Maia
is the third track on the album and at 1 minute 20 you are virtually pulled
into a black hole of brilliance by Kevin Kendle's
gifted genius on the moog. The choir hits with precision of a perfection rarely
seen in music these days, and with a slight touch of Mike Oldfield and
a smattering of Tomita the artist deliverers a piece that is best served
as timeless.
The seamless way Kevin Kendle
takes us through the album is a trade mark of the Deep Skies series,
and Merope the fourth track starts with a
familiarity that reminds me of latter tracks on his Light From Orion
album. It is as if your star ship has now left warp and arrived in a region of
space unknown to man; it has a sinister, but expectant quality about it. The sheer
celestial power of this piece will transfix the meditative attention of the listener,
allowing them to harness the very evident power and deep nature of this track.
Merope is full of energy and majesty.
The fifth track Taygeta, the mother of Lacedaemon
by Zeus, is the next port of call on our journey through the Pleiades. The start
has a real Nigel Shaw feel to it, reminding me of his Shamanka days and
has that trance like quality. Again he is on this track, one of five he features
on, but his influence seems to be prominent here. Again the synthesizers, Kevin
Kendle's weapons of mastery, move us through a piece that would be
perfect for any science fiction film. Taygeta is
a lighter track, but it’s more of a subtle change of gear that we are receiving
here.
Kevin Kendle calls track six
“Night Sky Music” - the actual piece is also entitled Asterope.
This reminds me deeply of those years as a child laying on my back on seamlessly
endless summer Kevin Kendle made piece that
you can now take to your favourite place and relax in the ambience to the perfect
musical compliment to drift off to a layered and blissful slice of musical night
sky watching. It is rightly so the longest piece on the album, I once again defy
you not to get lost in the sheer magnificence of this charming track. The
final track, Celaeno known to many as the
“Lost Pleiad” because it is difficult to see the star with the naked eye
and hence has received the tag just given, is our last track. The journey now
begins to come to an end and our own personal star ship is reaching the final
destination. For musical purposes our destination is Celaeno.
For this track, Kevin Kendle is solo and great
thanks must be paid to Nigel Shaw and Brian Abbot for their brilliant
help and musical genius on this celestial journey. I was always told in life to
try and leave the best to last and leave your audience wanting more. Kevin
Kendle does just that and the reprise wraps up this amazing package
for another album; this was the track that left each and every hair on my body
fully standing to attention and that takes some doing - simply outstanding and
my personal favourite. In summary, Kevin Kendle
has once again delivered to his audience a product of total quality.
This
is an album that I would without reservation recommend, an album of majesty, an
album of beauty, and it shows that one thing will never change - if you see a
CD or an Internet download with the name Kevin Kendle
on it, you can be completely certain that within the confines of the plastic casing
or Internet download will be around sixty minutes of music that will show total
dedication and love that a musician has for his art.
