One of the best albums by any artist and is Richard Burmer’s finest. Cabrini is one the most haunting songs I’ve ever heard.

Burmer in a more commercial setting, it’s well constructed and interesting, yet lacking the soul of his earlier works.

The 80’s produced the best “New Age” music. Steven Hill’s weekend radio show called “Music From the Hearts of Space” was the entity that introduced to me precious few, genuine “New Age” artists including Richard Burmer. “Mosaic” is an album of profound electronic beauty. It’s sonic textures stimulates my imagination. This cd is a must if you have less than five “New Age” cds in your collection.

For many the name Richard Burmer is synonymous with modern-day genius. Like M.C. Escher, J.R.R. Tolkien, and John Lennon, Burmer has gone beyond the realm of merely creating art, by traveling into and manifesting the realms of the otherworldly and fantastic. His three previous releases have provided musical spaces of in-depth exploration and inspired listening. 1987’s “Bhakti Point,” his second effort, is a modern-day classic, while “On the Third Extreme,” recorded in 1988, set off in search of new sonic terrain. Four years in the making, he has traveled even farther this time to bring his superb new album Invention. On the itinerary are explorations like “Curiodance,” “Easter Eve,” “Walking Summer to Sleep” and “Settle Near the Sunset,” which animate the landscape of majestic beauty and whimsical wondering. On “King-Fisher’s Day,” “Promise of Return,” “Landing” and “Inventor,” Burmer crashes boundaries of musical convention and propels one into the world of high drama and rhythmic, emotional intensity. Incorporating state-of-the-art synthesizers like the Emulator and Proteus with added percussion and guest guitarist Jon Claussen, Richard creates a sweeping orchestral sound which is hard to believe…and well worth the wait.

In this case it’s not the case I can assure you, maybe it’s the right etiquette with all the ingredients, melodic, soft, with synth pad washes and slow rythmic patterns, but these different melodic themes are always nearly pentatonical interesting, and you will find here and there some sonical surprises. Although there might be just a little lack in using too much a bunch of same kind of sounds (very fluty and occasionaly guitar-like) but if you like those, this can be for you. Must admit I like these melancholic to happy simple moods, but also project me somehow in some mysterious lost worlds. this is what Richard Burmer has a talent for. This Music as the strengh and the appeal to speak directly to you without any masks…
