Description

earman073 – Lucette Bourdin – Silver MoonAmbient master Lucette Bourdin returns to Earth Mantra, this time with astunning collection of eight ambient pieces, all inspired by a poem by Walter dela Mare.And ‘inspired’ is exactly the right word to use. We have long been fans of themusic by this California-based artist, but with each release she seems to outdoherself. This collection is no exception. It is, in fact, the best work we haveever heard from Lucette Bourdin, and folks that is REALLY saying something.This release is composed of eight pieces of sheer ambient perfection. There aremany influences evident in her work, from both space music (think Serrie) andtraditional ambience (think Roach), but Lucette’s genius is her ability toincorporate diverse influences while always firmly stamping her own distinctvoice upon the final result.The music is lush and beautiful, incredibly soothing, and yet without the syrupysweetness that sometimes accompanies light ambient music. What really sets thealbum apart is the sound design, which is both understated and yet thoroughlyrefreshing and original. Mesmerizing and hypnotic, and yet equally suited foractive listening and enjoyment. As we said, genius.With “Silver Moon”, Lucette Bourdin firmly establishes herself as one of the topartists in ambient music, at any level. We are pleased as can be to be bringingthis beautiful album to our listeners, one that is sure to be one of the topreleases of 2009.As always, all Earth Mantra releases are available under the Creative CommonsAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported license.
