Jennifer Hope - Winds Of Tomorrow
(p) (c) 1998 &1999 Jennifer Hope, Mystic Dreams Music
4tks/17mins
Jennifer Hope joins her music diving into the dark worlds of Gothic fantasies and New Age; where light, airy dreams take flight. This combination of styles creates the special aura of the album. The instrumental/music parts on Jennifer's CD are melodious and the music is skillfully arranged. In trying to characterize this music more completely, I have to mention that it is deeply intuitive - it has a spontaneity in it, and has something originally female - difficult to explain. So, this music can be defined as intuitive Gothic, New Age, visualism. Jennifer Hope tries to offer her help in the midst of the endless gorges of chaos. She is ultimately whole-hearted in her expression, and completely surrenders to what she wants to let go through her. She is a channel of hope and consolation; her music is a claim to the people who are lost in this crazy world; a claim to look inwards, to go beyond the frames of the commonness. It is not easy, there is deep darkness beyond the limits of the habitual life. Jennifer suggests to confront this ancient darkness and come through it to attain the light. She seems to be trying to make a hopeless person stronger and lead him to the higher divine worlds...
I would like to add that the album, "Winds Of Tomorrow" looks very nice, one listens to it "in one breath". All four compositions are melted together and when the music stops, one waits for it to continue. I hope that a full-format album is coming soon. If she will continue her visualization experiments at the board between Gothic and New Age, something absolutely new and very interesting could appear, as if a humble-looking bud would change within one night into a beautiful and unusual flower.
