shahar@isratrance Posted September 28, 2001 Author Share Posted September 28, 2001 Makyo - Suzhou River Artist: Makyo Title: Suzhou River Label: Uplink Date: 2001 Track listing: 01. 18'27" Suzhou River (Underwater Dub Mix) Review: Well, Gio does it again, another long composition that will take you to a magical journey if you just leave your body and immerse your mind and heart in the music. This track has a whole world inside to discover. Float on that opening airy sound, till the slow hypnotic beat starts and immediately sets you in motion- it's just irresistible. Beautiful rain-like piano drops join in, radiating optimistic sadness, over a whispered dialog in Japanese which I don't understand but feels like a some kind of a breakaway. Delicate dubby touches, spacey psychedelic sounds, breaking the surface water, and so much more. This is so complex, so musical, so full of sounds and emotions to discover, which are way beyond words. All that on top of that hypnotizing repetitive rhythm (this is TRANCE!) makes me find myself listening to this so many times repeatedly without getting tired. When I press play again after the long beatless, yet still hypnotizing, outro, and after awhile the beat comes in again, my mind and body just falls back into the rhythm, like coming home again into your natural life beat. Bottom Line: Have it- another amazing ambient creation from Makyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 This is worth having. It's a tad on the space-dolphin tip, but well-crafted. 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
