RICHARD AMOS
When You give free rain to your tears
In the music of Richard Amos just as in life itself the joy and the sorrow are interlacing with one another. Here everything is nearby, all things are coupled, and all emotions are very natural. It is not by chance a debut album by Richard Amos bears a name " Tears and Joy" . Richard Amos is an excellent melody-maker. His music is very light and bright by its inner state. It dips you inside yourself giving the possibility to become aware of your " ego" and your problems, to feel the innermost and come back to this world a renovated one. There is some incredible clearness in the music of Richard Amos. His emotions become understood easily by you, they resonate with your own state and give rise to images that are close to your heart. Now and then the music of Richard Amos has a dance and dynamic character (" Tears and Joy" and " Escape" compositions), sometimes it has philosophic and cosmic features (" Fly" and " Blue Sun" compositions) but nevertheless it is always a single whole by its inner properties. And furthermore in spite of some apparent archaism it is very individual. This is a direct contact with a living person who does not try to isolate himself from you with the achievements of computer technologies and memorized electronic rhythms. He is present in his music which has a special fragrance of the Renaissance. " See You Again" , the composition pulsating with joy and optimism, sticks to my memory more than others. Richard Amos's music passes by so quickly, it is so difficult to catch it, and one desires to listen to his album over and over again. The inner male vigour is available in this music. It makes the sounding of this album incredibly attractive. In " Tears and Joy" there is a pulsation of the life itself which is the essence of everything.
