"Wine Of The Mystic" review from RJ Lannan, Zone Music Reporter


store

Kamarius
Wine of the Mystic

Independent Release


I’ll Have What He Is Having


Romania is in a unique position. It is in the middle of the European continent and benefits by thousands of years of history. It is in the Balkan peninsula that boasts some of the most remote and beautiful terrain on the face of the earth. And it is the home of electronic composer Kamarius. His ambient/electronic music has many ethnic influences and crosses more than a few genres. The result is an astonishing album called Wine of the Mystic. 


Kamarius started learning music at an early age and mastered the synthesizer. Imagine him beginning with a Casio CZ 101 or the like. From humble beginnings comes great things and in this case, it is great music. First of all, I have to admit I played this album rather loud in my vehicle. The percussion is so pronounced and addictive that I could not help myself. I often imagined myself driving down the street in a metropolitan area and turning heads with this pumped up music. Second, the compositions are very well written with global influences like Middle Eastern, Oriental and world fusion. And lastly, Kamarius did everything right on this recording.


Imagine a sandstorm in the desert that billows for days until, suddenly, a large form is revealed. It is a towering edifice of cream-colored sandstone with round top windows, long corridors and a central room built for one express purpose, to worship. It is as Kamarius’ song suggests, the Forgotten Temple. The walls are carved with ancient frescoes, the floors paved in marble, and resounding from every corner of the temple is music. The voices of the ancients resonate in prayer.


Seasonless Love is the song with a wonderful driving beat. I often wished while listening to this one that I could have been in on the recording. I just could not help bobbing my head or tapping my toe. Sweet female intonation graces the melody reminding me that pure love knows no season, no time limit. Of the eight songs on the album, this is my favorite. Somebody pass me the tabla.  


The Prayer Service or Deha Puja is a remarkable tune for its mixture of electronic background and ethnic instruments. There is a tremendous energy flow in the music that purges the mind and relaxes the body. It is like an introduction or an overture to what is to come, that which is the experience of meditation.  


Magic Nights is a fantastic atmospheric tune, emphasis on the fantastic. There is a kind of hypnotic rhythm to the music that draws me in and makes me think of stories that feature ebony skies studded with starry jewels, fires that crackle with a coppery light and dancing that starts deep in the heart. The smell of jasmine fills the air and all my dreams swirl about me.


The final tune, Light Oasis is a true electronic tune with ethnic singing as the foundation. I think its message is a direction to travel in the desert of the spirit. Many think that an oasis is a place of green where water and food are found to bestow salvation on the lost. There are however, other kinds of oases. Imagine the spirit in need of nutrients, not water or food as in the physical, but enlightenment as in the metaphysical. Sometimes the “light” is found after a lifetime of study and sacrifice and at other times it is found within. 


There seems to be something mysteriously subconscious to Kamarius’ album. The gems we find are like hidden treasure. One has to open the mind and dig or we can just sit back, listen and let the music takes us to a place where we are awake inside our daydreams. I suggest we drink deeply of the Wine of the Mystic.


Rating: Very Good

Reviews for "Soul Experiences"by Kamarius


Really what I needed to fill my spaces and calm my soul .. ..
This album had a light and airy tone with an Eastern flavor . . most likely a strong hint of India . . . It was quite nice, and dreamy . . . and including an occasional vocal, reciting a poem or chanting a mono-tonal text . . The pieces were lengthy and a little repetitious for the purposes of relaxation and meditation . . and with so many little additions for extra sparkle and enjoyment . . there was a lot of attention to detail which increased the charisma of this music . . .

I found "Dancing With The Muse" absolutely mesmerizing . . . that one was a stress reducer . . . and quite lovely . . .

The album was a calming influence and very enjoyable . .. my soul was absorbing all the serenity and peace it could as I listened . .. and like a dry sponge soaking up the clear water . . my heart felt cool and refreshed . .(WolfsongThePoet)

 Apaisement!
Un album qui mélange subtilement les genres, atmosphérique, ambient et même quelques pointes de musique world.
A son écoute, une infinie douceur et sérénité vous envahit et vous transporte. (RebelRaiser)

Mental rehabilitation through music.
More than by the high volume or the amount of sounds, some music has the power of inciting in our minds an idea of fulfillment and completion, that we feel like being completely involved and surrounded by its sonority. And the atmosphere is so intense occasionally, that by closing the eye, we even have the sensation of absorption and integration, as a one thing only. This is one of those albums that convey much more than a simple musical listening experience... though being one... exactly because of that intense atmosphere, which is so appeasing as intriguing and mysterious. Very introspective, is at the same time capable of exorcising stresses and bad thoughts, cleaning and strengthening our mind, therefore also very uplifting.

Through my personal perception and experience, I'd say that we are in the presence of an excellent exercise of mental rehabilitation through music... yes... that's what it is.(Carybe)

Good album
Excelent quality of sound, simple, yet powerful musical themes, I'm always a fan of this kind of music.
Personal favourites: Soul Longing, Fairy Queen, Deep Communion and Untouchable which reminds me of the sound of one of my very old songs.(Razvan Veina)







Reviews for "Divine Madness"by Kamarius

Pure Refreshment . . .Peace
Electric . . . like a thunderstorm that clears the air . . .
Smooth and cool like a crystal clear mountain lake . . .
Refreshing like a moment alone to dream . . .
Renewing like a drink from a deep cool well . . .
Sparkling . .. like a pure night sky . . . dark and thick

is there for you to take . . .(WolfsongThePoet)

Bon album
Alors ce petit bijou, je l'ai piqué hier sur une page... et je ne le regrette pas... c'est absolument divin... et pas si mad que ça !(san064)

Awesome
Beautiful ethno-electronical music here.
Takes you to a long, calming, relaxing journey into your fantasy and imaginativeness.
The combination of digitally generated sounds and tribal instruments is perfect.(U.L.I.)

Great
the sound of a great Synthi. Listen and Relax.
Professional Sound and mix!(musicmen10)

Muy bueno
Es muy bueno!! me recuerda a veces a Tangerine Dream con esas bases arpegiadas y melodias raras.(Deimost)


Divine....Theraphy......To Heal The Earth...& The Beings On it...
Aborigines....doing a native, tribal ceremony.... come ritual dance...at the hour of midnight on..

calling out to the Moon goddess.... that overlooks and protects the earth.... and her solar system and domain......to do just that... protect..heal and rejuvenate,,, and spiritually renew...the goodness...and natural energies..that cover this world..from the oceans..seas..rivers and streams..to the peaks of the highest mountains..to the natural forests.... and glens and valleys...to the vast empty lands of desserts and tropical islands...it was like a sonic hypnotic. catchy rhythmical...gentle but tender....pleasing...boom of resonating pitches and drone like psychedelic sights and sounds..that traveled across the universes and earth...and resonated inside the listeners..heart and soul...and relaxed.....calmed you..and make you drift off into a bliss filled state of harmony of grace and tranquility...as it meditated you beyond words...profound and divinely therapeutic...to say the least... (musictomyears)

Interesting and compelling
Very interesting arrangements with compelling rhythmic and sound combinations. My favorite tracks were "The Way of Glory" and "Face 2 Phase." I especially like the ending of the last track. (jthart)

Review for "Reflections of Divinity"by Kamarius

 Serenity
Long and relaxing . . . nearly melodic at times . . .
I daydreamed, gazing up into a painted sky . .
and there I flew against the sublime horizon . .
an ocean of dreams lay before me . . .
on and on . . . eternally
beauty and melody . . .
winged stars . . .
reflected in my soul . .
harmonious was the song from the heavens . . .
as the angels spilled the music of serenity
around me . .
and though there were trials and tribulations
like a fire around . . .
I was not burned . . .
(WolfsongThePoet)

Review for "Day and Night' by Kamarius

 Profound .. & The Best Night Sleep I Will Have For Sure.. Like A baby I Will Drift Into Day Dream Land.
Into the virgin garden of eden.I sat and felt such beauty, peace and grace. That was humbling, tranquil and soothed the spirit and soul, within me.

I basked and bathed inside god glorious spiritual peaces field gardens here on earth. I listened to the birds sing and the bees buzz and get nectar from the flowers around me

.Then my mind travel to the Himalayas where I heard the sounds of the flute played. And I picture the valleys, The rivers, mountains and meadows below me. And I watch the beauty of nature fulfill me and give me. So much happiness that was so loving and giving and warm and comforting. And the solitude.The peace was divine. And heavenly bliss filled. beyond words.

I then travel and moved to India where I watched the sunrise come up On a perfect crisp cool but lightly warm Dawn..And I basked in the sunlight and felt the golden gentle rays of heavens light and lift me up. And warm me from my heart and soul within me and make me glow and radiate such goodness and calm and serenity and goodness I could hardly keep it all inside of me. And the gentleness and peace.just kept coming. Gave me such mediative, zen like charm, ecstasy that simply took me over.. And I day dream into perfection and beyond. That affect all of me. mentally and physically.

I just resonated and basked and bathed inside such a mediative and quiet oozing and melting soundscapes of sublime serenity and stillness. That touched me and rejuvenated me and gave me so much natural, organic..(musictomyears)

Reviews for: "Eternally in Love" by Kamarius


Love, so helpless are we to fall for thee . . . a million faces of love, so many kinds as to move and guide us . . . and leave us with few choices but to be with the one of our desires . . .

The music on this album is dedicated to love, passion and desire. The quiet sounds slip and slide between our thoughts as we listen . . . though we are tranquil and introspective . . . we are moved in a thousand ways . . . and if our beloved were by our side, we would find ourselves holding and caressing and falling beneath this tender musical spell . . .(
Barbara Wolfsong)
