It’s been five years since Solarstone last released a studio artist album. Consciously or otherwise, the fuse for that latter matter was lit back in 2012 with Richard Mowatt’s last longplayer, “Pure”. Its production principle became the wellspring that ended up righting the good ship Trance. Richard then is at last ready to open up a new front in his all-consuming pursuit of purity, and that ladies & gentlemen starts here, today, now with “.—-“.
“.—-“, you say? That’s correct. It’s code. Morse to be exact – Richard’s subtly minimalist encouragement to fans to scratch beneath the surface of what they’re seeing & hearing.
Top and toe of its tracklist, you’ll find instrumental elegance including “Cafuné”, “Eclipse” and of course “A State Of Mind”, whilst between comes vocal eminence like “Untitled Love”, “Choosing His Angels” and “I Found You”. Inspired team-ups with Solarstone debutante collaborators like Meredith Call and Rabbii sit next to names more familiar. What album from Solarstone after all would be complete without a “Slowmotion” co-op with Orkidea?!
You can choose to approach this new assembly in one of a number of ways. Solarstone’s new phase, an album cryptic wrapped in a riddle, (which has been Morse coded into an enigma), or simply eight sonic tales of the exceptional, by the most imaginative proponent of the genre.
One thing of which you should be in of no two minds about however is all you see here today is not quite what it seems. The beginning, certainly… But far from the end.
Solarstone’s new artist album “.—-” will be out on April 14th 2017!
