| REVIEWS |
| This space music CD is a real classic! It's full of exotic sounds and sound worlds. Robert is traveling into some new places with this one. The vocals are done running through a Harmony processor which gives them a sound familiar to the chanting of Tibetan Monks, and the Bell sounds are constantly bouncing around creating ethereal otherworldly tones. If your into David Parsons, then you'll be into this one. Highly recommended. |
| The sounds on this disc are perhaps the most original and innovative yet from Carty. An elaborate array of brilliantly-processed oriental instruments evoke Eastern ethereal spirituality. The Plateau may be an oblique reference to Tibet. He's really giving David Parsons a run for his money on this one!. Sampled and live instruments include kodo, gamelan, Tibetan bells, Tibetan Tingsha, shakers, and Carty's own voice used as a bass drone that sounds similar to Parson's recordings of Hindu or Buddhist monks chanting. It starts out rather slow and simple, but don't be deceived!. Each succeeding track is deeper and more intense, leading toward the last two tracks. "Lost Temple" moves through 3 exotic sections, and is truly a "find" for the spiritual seeker or for anyone thirsty for an exotic musical adventure. The graphic art Carty has made for this album is stunningly magical, fully translating the music into visible form. --Eric Mystic, DJ Music Programmer. |
| "Plateaus Of Ether" is a set of desert ambient trance by minimalist genious Robert Carty. Robert has created a monumental desert soundscape by fusing bells and Tibetan Tingsha with his synth, shakers and samples. Listeners will be amazed at the depth of this album. The ethnic instruments create an atmosphere of the highest degree offset by the synth drone. The soundscape sizzles. This is what desert ambience was meant to be. --Jim Brenholts, Author of "Track Across The Universe" |
| ..."Plateaus Of Ether"... ranks right up there with the best he has had to offer..... --Lloyd Bard, Backroads Music |
