David Sancious' 2004 Cinema

 



I'll assume everyone out there is well familiar with this American keyboardist's work. His 1970s fusion albums are all great and worth hearing, with a bit of wholesome new age influence that came to the forefront of course later on in the next decades. So this work too you could say is pretty new agey, with for ex. the ethnic percussion stuff, the electronic type buzzing, but the compositions are a step above the kind of drony one-chord-shows full of repetitive arpeggios you often hear in that genre.  In this regard it reminds me of the Dave Greenslade albums I posted recently, or the Matthias Frey Art Profiles from way back long ago here.

It's worth noting that Crimsoneer Tony Levin plays bass on this one too. When I mention interesting or elaborate composition, consider The Woman Theme, though the drum machine I think you might find, as I did, a little distracting:



Moon and Nightsky demonstrates the versatility and different dynamics here to be savoured:
