Lycia
takes on yet another direction with the release of Estrella. Recorded in the
southwest USA of Arizona and producing an imaginative, dreamy and creative work of ambient
darkwave; it's another splendid addition to the collection. Tracks range from
instrumentals "Clouds In The Southern Sky", "Dome", "Distant
Fading Star" and "The Kite", the latter bassed on a painting "The
Kite" by Armando Norte (1998) a rich drum, bass, guitar synth winding throught
sonic backdrops of what may be memories of flying a kite and its freedom lost to telephone
wires as an innocent bystander's killed from gunfire, and set free by death.
The other tracks involve Tara singing and some very revealingly
beautiful lyrics. In "Orion", "Stars fall, and we catch them, like
snowflakes of light danceing. Glitter silver moon, time stands frozen, satellites
spin me dizzy. I fall into yours arms...Angels dreaming for you." How
ROMANTIC! Tara on vocals with drums, synth work of angelic melodies.
Again, Lycia conjures up images with their music and lyrics of
the west with Estrella. This CD is a "must have" for the serious
listener of ambient-gothic edge music.
