Format:Audio CD
The new album by Karda Estra is something of a departure from their usual quasi-classical style - for one thing much of the music has a harder edge and on many of the tracks a distinctive beat or rhythm propels the music along at a fair speed. It definitely seems to be more prog rock than modern classical, this time. Richard Wileman, who writes all the music and plays many of the instruments, seems to have had a marked shift in attitude in his music, and where once a Karda Estra album consisted of slow dreamy, introspective music that had a distinctive filmic quality he has now added a broader range of instruments and a definitive rhythm and beat that moves the music onwards, plus a little far eastern ethnicity on one or two tracks makes it more interesting. Brass instruments are one of the new additions and their more structured sound adds a sheen to the music that evokes [in me] thoughts of the movie music of the likes of Ennio Morricone, Burt Bacharach and Miles Davis. The angelic vocals of Ileesha Bailey are happily still there, as are the multi-tracked strings and woodwind, and I think this extension of the instrumental palette offers a beefier sound, one that is even more cinematic in scope and hold the interest throughout. A lack of sleevenotes means I have no idea who the libertine of the title is, but that doesn't really matter as the eight tracks here are all up to the usual quality of a KE album, and one of the fun things to do while listening is to make up your own scenarios as the music plays.
