Music reviews of Lumia Nights
Music Review: Contemporary, Futuristic, Essential
Rating: 5 Stars
One of the pleasures of an educated listener is to be able to follow the journey and growing of talented composers like John Serrie. Serrie, whose talents were graciously recognized and utilized by CNN and Steven Spielberg, shows his maturity and sophistication on "Lumia Nights," elegant in both title and melody. Surpassing even "Planetary Chronicles II" and "Ixlandia," Serrie truly takes the listener on a journey far away from the troubles of this world with the full range of his electronic and ambient talent, beginning with the title track that impacts the listener like a ship taking off for a celestial journey. "Lovers in Motion," "Tide Pools" and "Autumn Leaves" continue past earth, making the listener truly feel like he or she is in the 21st century, far from the petty cares of this world.
Serrie has definitely evolved into one of the premier space music artists of our time. Not like the twinkly-winkly 'new age' music of the 1980's that never really got off the ground, "Lumia Nights" is a shining jewel in a music lover's sophisticated collection. Filled with pleasant melodic echoes that instill the vastness of space against a starry backdrop, Serrie shows his qualities without "too many notes" or the lackluster effect of the novice who has no layering to his compositions. On the contrary, Serrie blends beautiful reverbial harmonies with smooth, even flowing tempos, ereatheral pings that almost make you feel you're on 10 Forward admiring the stars, nebulae and other celestial beauties--just a little closer to heaven. There's nothing corny or overrated here. Contemporary, Futuristic and Essential, it is worth repeating a thousand times. Serrie's work is sure never to grow old, ageless and timeless. Perfectly appropriate for listening while reading, relaxing, love making or as a cure for insomnia, "Lumia Nights" is a must have for the intelligent, mature listener.
Description of Lumia Nights
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Synthesist Jonn Serrie has always traversed a spectrum between deep space excursions and sentimental pop melodies. He charts a similar course on Lumia Nights, creating ambient lounge music full of breathy synthesizer pads and cocktail-bar-at-midnight moods. He even covers the jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves" to cloyingly bad effect. Just think Lawrence Welk plugged in. The lounge rhythms are offered up with none of the irony you might find in electronica artists such as Thievery Corporation or Loop Guru, whose grooves call up an iconography that's twisted on its head. It's not until "Deep Mystery" that Serrie floats off into the night sky with shimmering synthesizer textures that recall some of his Planetary Chronicles recordings, but even here, the synthesist goes for melodies that exhibit more saccharine than soul. --John Diliberto
