Light
From The Pleiades
- Kevin kendle
The
music for the third album LIGHT FROM THE PLEIADES
in the highly-acclaimed Deep Skies series by Kevin Kendle continues the journey
to the farthest reaches of space. Inspired by the mystical constellation of the
Pleiades constellation, an open cluster of stars steeped in lore and mystery,
the LIGHT FROM THE PLEIADES album continues
the musical journey to the farthest reaches of space.
The
seven main stars in the Pleiades cluster are named after the mythological seven
daughters of the gods Atlas and Pleione, and these Seven Sisters are often depicted
dancing in a joyous, trance-like reverie. This aspect is conveyed in some of the
music by a gently rhythmic pulse, whilst retaining the huge, spacious swathes
of drifting sound that Deep Skies series has become known for. Below are exclusive

Release review by: Steve Sheppard Radio Presenter, BBC Radio Solent and Quality
Beats Radio "...
There are many joys in life, but musically nothing quite compares when the expectation
of a new Kevin Kendle album finally arrives. Kevin Kendle is one
of those quality artists that never seems to let you down and therefore you wait
with baited breath to sample some more of the musical genius that is without doubt
unrivalled.
The expansion of the Deep Skies series is a
natural, but a much needed series of albums to uplift the soul on it’s journey
through life, rarely does a series of albums give off that quality of passion
that shows on every level Kevin Kendle is in touch with his creative soul
and ours the listener as well.
Track one may surprise some, but those
who know the artist's work well, will remember that the opening to both Light
From Orion and Lagoon of Eternity, were either powerful,
deep and full of an energy, or all three.
The
track Dance Of Electra starts in almost
similar style, where with delicate skill he touches us with a brief resonance
of his First Light Album, then moving us towards the last Deep Skies feel of “Star
Clusters” from the Lagoon of Eternity C.D. then into what
has the sense of a Mike Oldfield style piece and thanks to the help of
both Nigel Shaw and Brian Abbott, it works brilliantly.
The album continues with the the second track Alcyone.
The piece is described by Kevin Kendle as meditational and a journey that
as he says characterises the entire Deep Skies series, I found this
piece haunting. When Kevin Kendle plays piano it always hits at a deeper
resonance; there is something about this track and the piano that really takes
the listener further inside their own psyche than they will ever imagine. This
track is simply beautiful and extremely mystical. I defy you not to get lost in
the hypnotic beauty of Alcyone...
"... Maia from the mythology of the Greeks
was the most beautiful of the Seven Sisters. Maia
is the third track on the album and at 1 minute 20 you are virtually pulled into
a black hole of brilliance by Kevin Kendle's gifted genius on the moog.
The choir hits with precision of a perfection rarely seen in music these days,
and with a slight touch of Mike Oldfield and a smattering of Tomita
the artist deliverers a piece that is best served as timeless.
The seamless
way Kevin Kendle takes us through the album is a trade mark of the Deep
Skies series, and Merope the fourth
track starts with a familiarity that reminds me of latter tracks on his Light
From Orion album. It is as if your star ship has now left warp
and arrived in a region of space unknown to man; it has a sinister, but expectant
quality about it. The sheer celestial power of this piece will transfix the meditative
attention of the listener, allowing them to harness the very evident power and
deep nature of this track. Merope is full
of energy and majesty.
The fifth track
Taygeta, the mother of Lacedaemon by Zeus, is the next port of call
on our journey through the Pleiades. The start has a real Nigel Shaw feel
to it, reminding me of his Shamanka days and has that trance like quality. Again
he is on this track, one of five he features on, but his influence seems to be
prominent here. Again the synthesizers, Kevin Kendle's weapons of mastery,
move us through a piece that would be perfect for any science fiction film. Taygeta
is a lighter track, but it’s more of a subtle change of gear that we are receiving
here.
Kevin Kendle calls track six “Night
Sky Music” - the actual piece is also entitled Asterope.
This reminds me deeply of those years as a child laying on my back on seamlessly
endless summer Kevin Kendle made piece that you can now take to your favourite
place and relax in the ambience to the perfect musical compliment to drift off
to a layered and blissful slice of musical night sky watching. It is rightly so
the longest piece on the album, I once again defy you not to get lost in the sheer
magnificence of this charming track. The
final track, Celaeno known to many
as the “Lost Pleiad” because it is difficult to see the star with the naked
eye and hence has received the tag just given, is our last track. The journey
now begins to come to an end and our own personal star ship is reaching the final
destination. For musical purposes our destination is Celaeno.
For this track, Kevin Kendle is solo and great thanks must be paid to Nigel
Shaw and Brian Abbot for their brilliant help and musical genius on
this celestial journey. I was always told in life to try and leave the best to
last and leave your audience wanting more. Kevin Kendle does just that
and the reprise wraps up this amazing package for another album; this was the
track that left each and every hair on my body fully standing to attention and
that takes some doing - simply outstanding and my personal favourite. In summary,
Kevin Kendle has once again delivered to his audience a product of total
quality.
This is an album that I would without reservation recommend,
an album of majesty, an album of beauty, and it shows that one thing will never
change - if you see a CD or an Internet download with the name Kevin Kendle
on it, you can be completely certain that within the confines of the plastic casing
or Internet download will be around sixty minutes of music that will show total
dedication and love that a musician has for his art.
