The Water Of Life
By
Kerani
Written by

Our planet is at an extremely sensitive moment of time right
now and delicate and sensitive music like this sublime creation from Kerani can only go to help and heal the
wounds inflicted upon our planet. Kerani
is regarded highly in the New Age/Neo Classical field, and to me her
manifestations of musical craft still to this day remind me of a female
Vangelis with those wondrous creations of flourishing colourful soundscapes,
and on The Water Of Life thankfully
that has not changed one single bit.
Tracks like the anthem styled opener entitled The Water of Life is a fine example of
my aforementioned statement. Amazing sweeping symphonic gestures can be found
here, and a veritable cinematic soundscape can be embraced and utterly
worshipped.
This brand new album is simply packed with beauty and 10
artistically created offerings are available within the album itself, and each
and every one a simple world of pleasure to enjoy, like the colourful climatic
refrains of the boundless beauty that is The
Blue Wonder, or the charming musical narrative of something we would all love to find, The Fountain of Youth, a piece that within
its own construction is a moment of Neo Classical genius and tenderness.
Each story line is a tale unto itself, as a coastal dweller I
particularly found Ocean Tides pleasing
to the senses, and thoroughly redolent of the subject matter; a track that one
could easily drift away on a sea of sonic sound too, whilst the penultimate
manifestation entitled Crystalline
created a soft edge to my day, from a pristine moment of magical instrumental
music, one so clean and crisp, and at a times almost touching the hem of Jean-Michel Jarre.
The album is concluded with the composition The Water of Life – Epilogue and of
course the most idyllic and perfect way with which to end the album. Kerani has done it again; The Water Of Life is one of the finest
examples of Neo Classical music currently out there, and perhaps we should all
take a moment whilst listening to this magical album and realise just what
actually is important to our life on this globe, and what isn’t, the Water Of Life could well be a splendid
soundtrack to those mental perambulations.
