Product Description

CD Description

COSMIC MESSENGER is certainly more "cosmic" than Ponty's previous releases, thanks to the violinist's more pronounced use of synthesizer and the enlisting of Allan Zavod as his main keyboardist. The album finds Ponty exacting the energisedfundamentals of rock while simultaneously fleshing out his already expanding sound palette.
With exuberant, atmospheric violin etchings and exciting runs of drums and bass underpinning Zavod's guitar thrusts, "Don't Let the World Pass You By" summarises the Ponty songbook. Released at the end ofthe '70s and executed with a sophisticated degree of polishand poise, COSMIC MESSENGER moves along with the inertia ofa locomotive. The album remains a sparkling gem in Ponty's crown.

4.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric textures, 4 Jul 2004

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

These enchanting sounds are made up of electric base, guitars, piano and violin, plus organ, drums, percussion, synthesizers and acoustic guitars. The sound ranges from orchestral and ambient to funky and jazzy.

The music impresses with its varied textures, like the bubbly, rhythmic track The Art Of Happiness that is followed by the more ethereal Don't Let The World Pass You By with its urgent rhythm against a mellow background of synths, or the gentle, evocative I Only Feel Good With You. Puppet's Dance has a jazzy texture, whilst the gentle Ethereal Mood creates just that with its beautiful melody.

The album concludes with Egocentric Molecules which has a full and powerful rock sound driven by electric guitar. The virtuosity of the players is breathtaking. Ponty and team successfully explore various musical avenues on this highly enjoyable album that should appeal to all lovers of ambient and intelligent electronic music.
