The duo of Frank Specht and Gerd Weinekamp are behind Rainbow Serpent. The 3
part title track occupies the first 32 minutes. Part 1 combines impressive
spacey passages with bouncey sequences, and part 2 repeats the formula
with the sequences being almost a modern interpretation of ‘Encore’.
Part 3 is a brilliantly sequenced offering which includes samples
reminiscent of Michael Shipway. From Shipway we encounter music in the
same class as Glyn Lloyd Jones with the next track ‘Ancient Skies’.
This really is a stunning piece with sumptuous sequencing and sublime
melodics. And the quality music doesn’t end there. The remaining pieces
all have aspects to admire, uptempo in the main and covering an impressive
variety of techniques with the closing ‘Waiting for Kippenhahn’ being
yet another stand out cut. This album presents track after track of
quality EM, with ‘Futuregate Part 3’ and the magnificent ‘Ancient
Skies’ being particularly memorable. Don’t miss out on this one. (GG)
