PLEASE NOTE THIS ALBUM IS PRESSED ON 180GM VIRGIN VINYL
In a career now spanning almost half a century, RonCycle1: The Journey Of A Melody, represents one of his most ambitious projects to date. It is an integral suite composed of sixteen pieces - some of them a mere minute short. Geesin has himself, in fact, referred to his latest creation as “a monster from the deep”. Elements and influences from his entire career are passing by the audience’s ears, ranging from puristic folk and proto-funk to orchestral meditations and the complex metrics of progressive rock. Thanks to a clearly defined narrative, which Geesin readily expounds upon in the liner notes, the result has nonetheless turned out entirely coherent. Geesin began work on the album in 1986: “the reason that it has all taken so long is that, as it grew, it frightened me so much that I had to walk away for long periods”. Working with a variety of compositional approaches and with a little help from Edgar Allan Poe, the music did not develop in a linear fashion, but rather proliferated outward from a handful of creative centres. Technical issues meant parts of the work had to be transferred from their original tape to computer and, according to Geesin, “the whole digi-structure was becoming overwhelmingly complicated”. Meeting Mark Ayres, known for his contribution to the BBC’s Dr. Who, proved to be the solution. Ayres took care of final arrangements in his studio, bringing a twenty five year long epic journey to a satisfying end. Needless to say, RonCycle1: The Journey Of A Melody won’t save Geesin from his association with Atom Heart Mother either. But taking into consideration that every step on his way has always seemed to be good for something, why should it? 01. tuning crystals02. under the heat03. agreeable disagreement04. a) low flight b) over the edge05. foggy forest06. chatter line07. whether the weather08. wispy mist09. cellar fall10. radio fume11. presenters’ song12. disagreeable intrusion13. a musing14. gathering strands15. home, jimmy16. caught
