U.K. synthesist Kevin Kendle has to his credit numerous
releases of Contemporary Instrumental music. Fortunately for
STAR'S END listeners every few years or so he puts out another
album of pure Spacemusic through his wonderful Deep Skies
series. LIGHT FROM THE PLEIADES (62'11") is the third such
work and features seven gorgeous sonic impressions of this
much heralded grouping of stars. Drawing on his fascination
with the cosmos, Kendle realizes music that is majestic,
engaging and deep. Icy synth chords soar high above pulsing
electronic bleeps while an ethereal choir sings in homage to the
universe. Further into the experience a rumbling soundmass
passes beneath lofty glissando guitar lines and grainy sweeping
pads. This music is well conceived and executed, and proves to
be a cosmic experience in and of itself - even without the aid of
astronomical maps or visuals. In actuality, deep space is surely
a vast forbidding void, as cold as it is dark - but Kevin Kendle
sees not the emptiness, but the incandescent beauty of the
celestial realm.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from LIGHT
FROM THE PLEIADES by English Spacemusic artist Kevin
Kendle
