An opportunity...

...to be the first to review an album by Evan Bluetech. As a synthesist and electronic musician for 35+ years (I'm 50) I fully embraced the resurgence of electronic music in the 90s and beyond. I could not have dreamed of so much great electronic music that was so easily available from back in the time of Walter Carlos, Laurie Spiegel, Laurie Anderson, Jarre, Vangelis, and a few others. There is so much music and I take great care and time searching for stuff - mostly staying in the realm of Psybient and Tech. My current musical Godhead consists of Evan (Bluetech), Jamie (Kilowatts), bt (Brian Transeau), David (Tipper), and Welder/Eskmo (Forgot his name), and Kirk (As One) Degiorgio. All these people fit the description of "composer" to me. Composition involves working with ALL the elements of music - Melody, Harmony, Rhythm, and Timbre. I have not listened to Evan's RR yet. I have bought music from these artists time and time again without much preview and I have met with little disappointment. Also, as someone skeptical of "environmental causes" I investigated where the proceeds were going from this record. I was happily surprised. I think Evan need to be a bit less guilty about his travel. Making thousands of people happy and inspired with your music is a "life's work" to be fulfilled with in and of itself - you have made music for your fellow Earth inhabitants. Thanks, Evan, for more music.
