"A SEPARATE REALITY"
Prudence 398.6591.2
"The world, when you "see",
is not as you think it is now. It's rather a fleeting world that moves and
changes...it's not the world of the dead or the world of anything. It's just
another world..."
Carlos Castaneda.
from "A Separate Reality"
"A Separate Reality" is influenced by
the writing of the mystic Carlos Castaneda, and the theme of alternative levels
of consciousness.
"Awe-inspiring may be the best
description of this new album by Mexican vocalist, composer and synthesist
Alquimia - often described as a cross between Enya and Tangerine Dream...a
serious trek into exotic electronic soundscapes and world music
realism...Alquimia is a beguiling musician...sure to send a haunting jolt up
your spine..." (PROGRESSION,
"Pretty darned close to
being...staggeringly, mind-blowingly the best thing you've ever heard from
female vocals and synths - the dynamics of the tracks are just amazing - the
first three parts are just a wonder to behold - textures with layers that will
have you in awe of the depth, emotion and beauty of the dark yet soaring,
slowly flowing music - a remarkable album and one which you will take to your
heart and treasure for a very long time to come" (C&D SERVICES, UK).
