THE HERMIT

Surya Kris Peters´ The Hermit, 2016, is, opposite to my expectations, quiet a relief. No monstrous influences overshadowing the sonic experience and even better than that intelligent and enticing melody lines with gorgeous multi-instrumental foregrounds & backgrounds some intimate acoustic guitar based electronically adorned compositions and subtle ethnic flavors scattered around in the right amount.

This release is actual proof of how it is not the instruments which outdate music but the lack of fresh and creative ideas! And Surya Kris Peters is full of these in this release. The deeper you travel into this auditive experience the more you get hooked and surprised.

This album is Bright/Dark beautiful without intention just sheer great instrumental electronic music composition with perfect pitch arrangements and the perfect dose of experimentation. The weak spot, in comparison to its siblings, is track 7-Chandra Luna which is a 3.5 stars track.

As I write this review I don´t know how this album is rated in PA but I HOPE there are other PE reviewers and followers with the same hunger for non Klaus Schulze & TD (or any other famous name) voluntary or involuntary copycats.

****4.5 PA stars.
