Uploaded 3 new songs over the past 2 days (Meaningful Tears, Upon the Wings of Man, Primal Skies) ranging from worldbeat to new age to indie, but all with the distinctive BE sound. If you like VAST, Meaningful Tears has that feel.

Our 3rd Cd is very close to done. |

Soulfish review
Meaningful tears....  Kind of Gregorian chant with Dave Stewart guitar and touch of electronica in the background. Chilled vibe and well produced, especially echoey guitar in background - just right in the mix.
Future Primitive - Ambient opening shredded by electric guitar. Very fuzz box sounding is only critique...but then I prefer a heavy guitar sound rooted in pain! Pretty cool switches between grooves and leaves you feeling interested in where it's going next. Deep Forest style sample.
Dreams Like Crystals - Wierdly enough the title does pretty much nail it - put a crystal into a sound and you'd have something close to the opening sample. (bit like shark - guess what - shark tastes exactly like you'd expect shark to taste before you ever even ate it!) Not sure that the guitar strum and gregorian chant build on what is a great opening but this is a genre of music I know little about so I'm not you're market! Just felt it could have gone somewhere fresher (it's late - I'm grumpy, and I hate being too positive - especially about music that's got hints of the music I fear in every healing studio I've ever been in- Hippy parents - don't ask!)
Cracking bit of guitar tapping around 1.45 though-that I didn't expect! 
Overall - slick production on well thought out songs with plenty going on and enough texture to feel like a wall of peace drowning out your sorrows-with enough occasional electric guitar to remind of what they could be doing to you if you were to piss them off. (I've never heard tribal chants against a stereo effect acoustic with a heavy distorted power chord chopping over bagpipes before - thankyou for opening my mind a little wider!!)
Right, I'm going to get a drink before I start seriously considering a career in aromatherapy!  |
