It's been a cherry moondream on the south coast for a while but if you're in Australia, a Perth Lewis beach party owes more to German synth pioneers - the new NuNorthern Southern Soul?
Perth Lewis has been a bit of a revelation of late with his albums 'Moments In Time' and 'Distance Between' (see review HERE) and the track 'Monolith' turning up on the latest 'Summer Selections' compilation (see review HERE).
In fact, 'Monolith' is featured on this EP along with 3 other tracks that owe a lot to Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Edgar Froese, Klaus Schultz, Ralf & Florian types; particularly the title track 'Cherry Moon'.
Recent sightings of an actual Blue Moon (as in "once in a blue moon", perhaps the title of a follow-up to this one?) that might show off the more dancefloor elements of his bedroom synth action like 'Basis Of Reality' that seems to owe more to Sheffield than Sydney Harbour.
'Sunset Jam' makes up any shortfall in any steel works output as the Tangerine Dream fireflies weave magic in the sands.
So this ranges from "sun-baked Rhodes licks" to "head-nodding groove" to "punchy, electro-influenced beat" to "simmering synth-strings" and loads of points inbetween. - 'Cherry Moon' is arising and it sounds great!
