LOGIC GATE - CODE RED (excerpt)

Logic Gate / From the Silence (2003 USA) Logic Gate is the project name for instrumental electronic music by Steve Grace. Steve's initial interest in playing music was as a rock guitarist. He first became interested in instrumental music after hearing Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. This interest intensified when Steve discovered the music of "Berlin School" electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze. http://magnatune.com/artists/logicgate Official Website: http://logicgatemusic.com/index.html# http://www.youtube.com/user/logicgatemusic Buy Album: http://logicgatemusic.com/index.html# Artwork: (1) First Photo: La Mer II by Micmojo (Jan Scholz) http://micmojo.deviantart.com/art/la-mer-II-239163466 (2) Landscape Photos by Tommy Tsutsui (3) Sunset And Sunrise Photos by Unknown Photograph Album review: Vintage electronic music has been made by quite some musicians until now, and to this list we can add Logic Gate. The guy behind this project is Steve Grace hailing from California, whose vintage music carries influences of TD (period 1974-1977) and Redshift. "From The Silence" took about 8 years to complete, and although some might say it sounds derivative it also offers enough own discoveries to make it worthwhile to listen to. The CD contains 3 extended tracks of 15 minutes each, in which pulsating sequences, Mellotron strings and choirs, and fascinating vintage synth pads get along in an engaging manner. The transitions are well done, all around the 7-8 minute mark where the music heads off in a somewhat different direction. To me, the only minor thing of the album is the fact that the compositions aren't that strong as a lot of improvisation gives the music free way. But in the end I'm sure TD and Redshift fans will enjoy this recording quite a lot. http://members.cox.net/sgrace9/logicgate/review.html Track List: 01-Code Red (15:15) 02-From The Silence (15:23) 03-Biomorph (15:10)
