BIOnighT - The Art Of Friendship

Close

After an excellent first opus in Egoheart, Bionight felled into a more esoteric style, closer to New Age. The Art of Friendship, 5th opus of the Italian duet, reinstalls Bionight on the backgrounds of Egoheart with a more romantic touch and a more furious rhythmic approach. First album of a trilogy, The Art of Friendship crosses the styles which go from heavy electronic music, melodious to prog rock flavor, with very rocky moments, with a weak zest of a Berlin School repressed in its gleaming bastions. Angelic, Visione opens on fine cosmic choirs which grind to a beautiful sequential movement with paces altered by sudden rhythms. A strange title, difficult to encircle which transcends the borders of a modern EM, with a distant Berlin School fragrance. The Art of Friendship starts softly. Some fine solitary arpeggios charming the cosmos, on beautiful orchestral arrangements. A ghostly organ bites this lullaby on a heavy sequential movement. The drum explodes and the synth weds the forms of a guitar to heavy and drawling riffs, enjoining a synthesized circle by a wild and very loud rock. Like some electronic Deep Purple. Meditation in Yosemity joined a little more the soils of EM. A beautiful intro where the chords are sparkling on a gamboling sequencer. Between the rhythm and the atmospheric, the movement remains ambiguous and preserves a fanciful beauty which evolves on a more insistent rhythm, without ever escaping from its daydreamer path. Complex and beautiful, it is one of the titlewhich get closer to Berlin School with some intonations between Schulze and TD. With a similar title, we have to expect that Magma warms the hut. Well it is the case. Heavy whirlwind sequence which swirls on a keyboard with nervous keys, Magma is of a disastrous heaviness, but always with this melodious approach which is so dear to our Italian accomplices. I like the cast iron of the magmatic energy which calms down under fine chords of a disillusioned harp and a dying synth. Heavy, splendid and powerful Magma demonstrates all the sound power of Bionight. Sorridimi is in the same vein, although less stormy and more heighten. Light, Apnea skips with crystalline chords bordered by a synth at once lyrical and méphistic. A cadence in waterfallwhich swirls as a real carousel in poetic prisms. Crystal Mist is just like his title. A crystal fog which evaporates slowly through many arpeggios to romantic harmonies. Beautiful, perfect to be seduce by the breaths of Morpheus. We close eyes and we are transport by a cosmic wave tinged with a nostalgia which moves old ashes. I like this return of Bionight in the magic circles of EM. Without being a brilliant album The Art of Friendship gathers all the elements of an ideal album to tempt ears towards a new musical art.
