(p) (c) 1998 & 1999 Jennifer Hope, Mystic Dreams Music
4tks/17mins
How can this music be described? Jennifer Hope joins her music diving
into the dark worlds of Gothic fantasies and New Age, a flying of light,
airy dreams. Such a combination, looking contradictory at first, creates
the special aura of the album. The instrumental/music parts on Jennifer's
CD are full of melodiousness, and proper arranging. In trying to characterize
this music more completely, I have to mention that it is deeply intuitive,
it has spontaneousness in it, and has something originally female, difficult
to explain. So, this music can be defined as intuitive Gothic, New Age,
visualism. Jennifer Hope tries to offer her help in the midst of the endless
gorges of chaos. She is ultimately whole-hearted in her expression, and
completely surrenders to what she wants to let go through her. She is a channel
of hope and consolation; her music is a claim to the people who are lost
in this crazy world, a claim to look inwards, to go beyond the frames of
the commonness. It is not easy, there is deep darkness beyond the limits
of the habitual life. Jennifer suggests to confront this ancient darkness
and come through it to attain the light. She seems to be trying to make a
hopeless person stronger and lead him to the higher divine worlds...
I would like to add that the album, "Winds Of Tomorrow" looks very nice,
one listens to it "in one breath". All the four compositions are melted together
and when the music stops, one waits for it to continue. I hope that a full-format
album of Jennifer Hope is coming soon. If she will continue her visualization
experiments at the board between Gothic and New Age, something absolutely
new and very interesting could appear, as if a humble-looking bud would change
within one night into a beautiful and unusual flower.
