Description

earman107 – Lucette Bourdin – Radiant StarsLucette Bourdin returns to Earth Mantra with her latest release “Radiant Stars”,the conclusion to the breathtaking trilogy of albums that includes “Silver Moon”and “Golden Sun”.And what a trilogy these three albums represent. By themselves, any one of thethree could easily be considered a masterwork, but taken together they aresimply an astonishing achievement, one of the great collections of ambient musicof all time.In particular, “Radiant Stars” is one of the deepest and most elegant ambientreleases we have ever heard. Three magnificent and extraordinarily patientpieces await the listener, the shortest of which is over fifteen minutes long,and the longest of which spans more than a half an hour. To call the musicimmersive is to understate the case. The music is restful and soothing, lush andcontemplative, but with the perfect amount of activity and tonality. Amazingwork.Listening to pieces like “Look Up to Outer Vastness”, one is struck by the sheervirtuosity Lucette brings to ambient music. She very well may be one of the bestambient artists making music today. Why she is not releasing albums and scoringfilms at the highest levels of the industry is completely beyond comprehension.Simply immaculate music, performed by a master of the genre.Earth Mantra is very proud to be bringing her music to our listeners, and welook forward to many more releases from her in the future.As always, all Earth Mantra releases are available under the Creative CommonsAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license.
