The 2003 Australian Album Of The Year may well have been recorded by an act virtually nobody has heard of. Melbourne-based All India Radio's self-titled third album is a breathtaking triumph; one of the most exquisite, ethereal, instrumental records records ever made in Australia. Drenched with the spirit of the land, it draws heavily on the legacy and feel of the classic Australian surf music soundtracks of the early '70's such as Sea Of Joy and Morning Of The Earth. The result is an overwhelmingly insouciant and satisfying original soundscape... All India Radio - please tune in and listen. ~ The Brag Magazine Three excellent musicians from Australia plus three guests have officially crafted one of the most elegant and simple instrumental rock albums I've ever heard. Warm waves of synthesizer tones, sunny melodies, and a glowing aura all around mix, mash, and breathe as if a natural part of the air and form what can only be described as a heavenly cloud of radiance that is simply not of the material world. Keyboards, drums, and relaxed guitar strumming all intertwine, switching emphasis here and there but never losing sight of an overall picture that must have taken shape in the mind of every musician involved: a beach, memories of home, or nighttime in a familiar and warm place. Every note and every second of sound effortlessly evokes feeling after feeling. All India Radio mix sound sculptures void of definite rhythms and certain melodies with more traditional song structures and they do it so well that each second comes as a surprise. On "Voodoo Instrumental," a whistling drone underscores the open and reflective sound of a piano chiming in wandering and circular movements until the reversed tones and guitars of "Moon Rise 1989" segue into the melancholy guitar playing of "Waukaringa." The movement of one song into the next is almost cinematic and is certainly epic in scope, but the content of each track is completely individual and unique. Featured with the CD is a DVD of various movies. Though not all of them are great, the video for "Tijuana Dream" is fantastic. It might seem a little simple at first, but the ending makes watching the whole thing worth it... ~ by Brainwashed |
