\nAfter his second collaboration with Synth.NL, Ron Boots now joins forces with another powerhouse electronic composer from The Netherlands: Gert Emmens. It\u2019s no surprise lots of dynamics get in the works when those two get together. After creating various basic tracks in Ron\u2019s well-equipped studio, a selection from these was made followed by exchanging audio files through the net with Gert and Ron enriching and extending them individually in their own studios. This ended with a final meet-up to put the icing on the cake before Ron started mastering the full outcome.<\/p>\n
Well, \u201cA Night at Blackrock Station\u201d is full of sparkling energy and the fun of making fine electronic music. One can already hear this on catchy opener \u201cFlock of Swallows\u201d with its lovely sequence waves and warm, smooth pads. Then, a nod towards TD\u2019s \u201cDas M\u00e4dchen auf der Treppe\u201d is imminent on \u201cA woman on the platform\u201d as it spreads its warm sonic aura. Relaxed, melancholic spheres open \u201c02:17 AM\u201d, but soon things head into electronic freestyle with a slight prog-rock edge as the heavy sequences build further and drums, Gert\u2019s e-guitar, and some synth-soloing kick in. Next is the excellent \u201cThe night train didn\u2019t stop\u201d -my personal highlight- with its catchy, smooth evolving sequence patterns, warm textures, mellotron pads, and lush piano playing on top. The 12-minute title track rounds out the 62-minute release tastefully with Gert soloing gently over spatial sequencer strings on the first half before some nods of \u201880\u2019s TD and drums set things in motion.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m convinced the engaging soundings of the moody \u201cA Night at Blackrock Station\u201d- another winner from the Groove label- will please a large audience without a doubt. Sonicimmersion.org
