Geoffrey Armes
Elemental Red (2005) acoustic verve, symbol and metaphor-laden poetry, and highly propulsive but acoustic production value, results in a more directly spiritual record, motivated by a restless depiction of quest. Namechecking Jung, laden with quotes from JG Bennett, GI Gurdjieff, and perhaps most obviously Muhammed Subuh, this drive, while peaceful, is immediately felt. So many roads sung of, which road? Meta-roads? Pan Celtic guitar derivatives augmented by African percussion act as a trellis for elegantly eloquent searching song-writing that rides melody, that is sweet, honest, natural and highly affective. Next Geoffrey returned to the textural and expressive possibilities of dub, and fourth world intersections, where the world of traditional music is augmented, infiltrated and filtered by technological sounds and paradigms.
