RICHARD AMOS
Alone with your own self This music is full of life! The Richard Amos album " Dancing in the Desert" is not a dying in a desolate wilderness but a celebrating of life in this so beautiful and majestic place. The composer joins a great many styles in his music. Right here one can find out dancing pop-rhythms, electronic, chill-out, ambient, the influence of classic music, and, no doubt, new age! Besides the Richard Amos music is rather cinematic! You find easily yourself in the sands, and this journey is very comfortable. The desert by Richard Amos is a place to celebrate a life, to be happy that you exist, and to bless the Existence for everything. A vague archaism available in the Richard Amos music does not in the least worsen the perception of his album, quite the contrary, it turns you back to the eighties, recurring to the memory such brilliants of the new age as " Deep Breakfast" or " No Blue Thing" by Ray Lynch. More than usual the influence of the eighties is felt in such compositions as " Desert Flower" and " Embrace" . When you are listening to the Richard Amos " Dancing in the Desert" you have a sensation that the compositions are performed all in the same breath. The entirety and the completeness of the plot feature this music. Especially nice, perfect in rhythm, inflaming and fascinating the composition " Falling for You" is. It merely subdues with its vigour and a positive energy. One might say the same concerning the Richard Amos album as a whole. " Dancing in the Desert" is very positive and optimistic. And, moreover, the Richard Amos album is an actual one, the composer, arousing a light nostalgia, speaks a language you understand, uses the means of expressions existing at the present moment. In his keyboards a some baroque and techno rhythms get mixed up. " Dancing in the Desert" is the second project of Richard Amos by now. He is also well-known as a media composer who has been creating the music for the cinema and working as an assistant engineer in various projects including the first single of Sinead O'Connor " Mandinka" , works of Gary Numan and many other celebrities. What is " Dancing in the Desert" ? Is this the music for a body? Or, barely for the rest? Or, may be it is the music for the intellect? Richard Amos, joining a number of genres, gives life to the project suitable for the most various situations in life and states of mind. Inner liberty, flight of creativity which are running through " Dancing in the Desert" make the Richard Amos music such individual, natural and attractive!
