Detlef Keller Ways to the Rainbow

The tracks are titled 'Way' 1 to 10. I could go on at length about how much I dislike the opening track, but I won't waste space. Simply skip over it because the rest of the album is definitely worth listening to, infact a few of the tracks are absolute corkers. You need go no further than 'Way 2' to realise this. A sumptuous opening with rich synth pads and great effects gives way to a powerful chugging sequence which is accompanied by elegant themes. The piano work and effects remind me especially of Dennis Hart in 'Sternthaler' mode. Sequencer fans will enjoy Ways 4 & 8, both are heady cocktails of patterns and motifs, and there's also plenty of variety to be found with powerful rhythms taking centre stage on some pieces, and delicate melodies on others. If you're a fan of modern rhythmic EM, banks of sequences and searing themes then you are bound to enjoy (most of!) the tracks presented here. (GG)
