![]() Propolis $17.49 Inspired by encounters of a higher order, David Richardes (song-writer, vocalist)Propolis seeks to unveil the Holy Grail - of mind and matter. Minstrel, metal-melting melodies leap over historical landscapes attempting to translate its Grail code for communal and personal passage. There are times I wanted the music to accelerate into a breaking rock, but Richardes delivers it like prized poetry, holding it back from fragmenting. Richarde's vocals bring these primal longings of love, harmony and glory to life. His prayers of peace, power and play are well orchestrated in this first 6-song collection. At times the guitar evokes like a medieval harp, with riffs that seem to speak about the stories 'centering' around any 'collective' interference. Deep percussion drives the pulse of this well orchestrated journey. Richarde also adds two surprise poems at the tail of the CD.Something in the arrangements was so familiar, yet distinct. It is like he has woven modern and medieval into a very wearable pattern. And made the 'honey' within this hexagram (propolis) available for the 'transformational sucking'. I would love to hear this work backed by a full orchestra, like the Moody Blues. Richarde is unfolding an opera-like rock that will have many chapters and be a treat to repeat and reflect upon long into this century.It is also refreshing to hear someone be willing to depart form garbage fast-food rock and take us on a deeper journey. His commitment to unveil this Grail (and possibility for a more harmonic cultural) and inspire personal power to awaken.... feels genuine. ![]() Matte Smelting.
