WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Jade Warrior

Posted over 2 years ago
If you don't fall in love with the place this music takes you, you won't like anything else in my music collection.Jade Warrior, in their moments of clarity, exist outside your imagination - calling you to a bright, sunny, English hillside in summer, with the reassuring warmth of your Mum's cooking, floating above the scent of freshly mown lawns.If you want to be direct about it, there's a hint of Santana about the more lively tracks on Way of the Sun, like 'Carnival' - but immediately followed by the powerful and cinematic 'Dance of the Sun' - with a vague hint of Kate Bush, circa 'Jig of Life' and a side order of pre-electronic Ozric Tentacles.Frank Zappa once said, "Talking about music, is like fishing about architecture" and if any album by any artist sums that statement up, it's this. Simply said - just buy it! If the Mahavishnu freak in you doesn't love it with all your heart, you probably need help - consult your nearest dealer.

  1. mktackabery says Jim, Jim, Jim, you gotta give us some samples!! I had to go looking. You can listen to their new album at their website. I must say I feel chastised that I NEVER heard of these guys, and I'm pretty stoked that they are still kicking it and put together a new record. It's quite something, completely indescribable, like taking those old 70s records, pushing them through the past decade whether they liked it or not, and coming out on the other side. Brilliant.

  2. JimGardner1973 says I should probably have also mentioned - beware of the stuff they pushed out when they realised they where good. Way of the Sun is innocent - the later stuff is Prog, with a capitol Yuck.

  5. Twig says Hey, I like what yer sayin' Frank's stuff is the most profound music to date. Back when I first got into his grumble I remember reading something that pretty much summed up what Frank was about... it went somthing like this... ''The only reason I went into rock 'n' roll, is because I couldn't get anybody to play the classical music that I wrote.'' Then on the first Mothers' album, 1966's Freak Out!, he quoted the maxim of his insperation, the '20s avant-gardist Edgard Varese: ''The present-day composer refuses to die.'' and they were words he lived by. His words will never die, an icon for anyone that REALLY loves music...
