Dekrypton Joel 2008 LP elru059
Psychedelic realms by a purist of the guitar.
In the lost kingdom of Portugal these compositions have grown, some of them for more than 20 years, they do not seem to be disconnected from an Puer Aeternus archetype.
Several compositions are new and many were recently transformed.
Opening with the emotional "NEPTUNICA"
this is a listening of amazing realism.
The guitar seem to have a story to tell
and we feel that we can almost watch it.
Awake revealed "(RETURN TO MOUNT) PENAMEDA".
Feel it as it happen, in visionary tones.
About the heavy blues of "HOOKER BOOKER" and "SKY SCAVENGER" they seat in the same soil where the experimental "HARPIA (WITH VIOLIN)" enter in the improvised rhythms of free jazz but the ephemeral "LOVERBOY, MAGIC ROCKER" is in blues again, it precedes the harmonious "HARPIA" very near now to an expected beatific climax that is reached indeed with "I FELT RAINBOW" a most surprising theme, denouncing the first half of this LP as a fictitious electric band with no drums.
The emblematic "SKY SCAVENGER WITH VIOLIN"...
... the turning to the second half, inspired by the accoustic trios formed by Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin.
Fusion flamenco, chill of hair-raising thrill, in the "CITY OF DREAMS REVISITED" it happens.
Same as in "FATIMA´S UFOS" the flamenco pop or it´s evolution, probably a miraculous flamenco on a quite meditating "FLYING WHITE CILINDER" or in the "INVISIBLE RAY" so calm and quiet.
As "GLIMPSES OF THE FUTURE" and "JÓIA GERÊS" a delirious flamenco, almost psychedelic, are so contemplative and magnificent, then the healing "VALIS" it arrives at the far heights of "L´ÉTERNEL RETOUR DU MÊME" for remembering that there is a time for everything and there´s a time exactly for the old times to meet again, as if there is even a time for an end.
Almost a gospel of the archaic spirituality absorbed in the mountainous region in the north of Portugal, namely "Gerês" and the immense Doñana swamp, in the south of Spain, where the artist made contact with Flamenco music at close range.
This inspiration is worthy of discovery and spreading even if some recordings were compromised by low-fi audio conditions.
