about

Dutchman Gert Emmens already is quite a big name in the world of Berlin School-based electronic music. Cadenced Haven (the artistname of Laila Quraishi from Bangladesh) is a rather new name in the scene. She recorded the album “Peregrination” for Groove Unlimited. On this album, she received help from Gert. Recently, they created an album together, the wonderful “Life In Cosmic Way”. Now there is their second collaboration “Mystic Dawn”. The cd is accompanied with an excellent cover by Pablo Magne who has done more fine artwork for Groove. It reminds of the classic albums by Pink Floyd and The Alan Parsons Project that had covers by Hipgnosis.

Just as was the fact on “Life In Cosmic Way”, “Mystic Dawn” again shows the sequences, the drums, the sounds, the melodies and the solos by Gert as well as the soundscapes and other melodies by Cadenced Haven. In comparison to that album, on “Mystic Dawn” they go further. “Into The Night” opens the album very atmospheric, after that the sequences fall in. Emmens is a master in creating such rich sequences. In the second part of the track the rhythms are quite industrial which forms a nice contrast with the warm music. A fantastic feeling introduces “Road To Mirage”, after which pointy sequences follow above Gert’s antique drumboxes. His music is always very melodically. In this he is different from many of his colleagues. This can be heard very well in “Awareness Of Depth” . The second part of this track is almost like progressive rock. Is this maybe a little precursor to his soon to be released progalbum “Memories”? We shall hear. The titletrack again has Laila’s very fine and subtle sounds but also a Tangerine Dream-like sequence as well as big drumsound. Gert’s solo is very melodically. Talking about solos: the ones in “Infinite Horizon” are superb, just as the double sequences. “Reflections” closes the album with a thrusting rhythm and wonderful ambiences.

This album is not only a “must” for the fans of Gert Emmens and Candenced Haven solo but for everybody who loves good, clever and atmospheric electronic music. Music where is thought about
