CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Oystein Ramsfjord would be a great name for a Norwegian death metal guitarist. But this Ramsfjord has opted for electronic keyboards and opulent music in the guise of Amethystium. Like his fanciful stage name, derived from the gem Amethyst, Ramsfjord's music is full of fantasy imagery. Titles such as "Arcus," "Shadowlands" and "Satori" give you a glimpse into a music where pristine sounds and descending-from-the-heavens synthesizers charge heroic melodies coasting atop an array of propulsive, almost danceable rhythm loops. Each successive Amethystium CD has gotten a bit less edgy, sweeter in their melodies and plusher in their arrangements, and while he doesn't step over the line into electro-Muzak, he comes close. In the past, his music has been likened to an imaginary soundtrack for The Lord of Rings, but Evermind is more pastoral elfin kingdoms and peaceful shires than storming orcs and demonic wizards. A little bit of that edge, a bit of depth beyond the pretty sounds, might make Evermind more profound than just pleasant listening. --John Diliberto Similar CDs

CD ReviewsPrimordial meets celestial - Kasia S. | New York City | 09/27/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Like a fane aged wine, it takes time to appreciate this exquisite album. I will admit that it took at least four listens of it to rattle my soul but rattle it did and I am glad I let the intimacy of this music into my conscience and soul. Amethystium is an artist that throws a seed of desire into the listener, it slowly grows and lingers forever as the audience carries the faint memory of how lovely the music was and it keeps rekindling the need to listen to it as often as possible. This is a highly addictive artist and I can almost guarantee some sort of an obsession to form with anyone who enjoys this type of music. Similar artists include Yanni, Govi, David Arkenstone, David Lanz, Enigma and Delerium just to name some. The music is a mix of electronic pop, new age, some sparking piano and chant like melodies mixed in with angelic voices. It's the perfect thing to put on at night or when one wants to chill out and let the sounds take them away into far away galaxies of pleasure. My favorite piece on this disc is Shadowloands - the deep, rich, embalming sound is almost hypnotic tune that always catches me under it's spell. - Kasia S. " My fav album from Amethystium F.A | 12/24/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love this CD, and all their CDs, been listening to it for years, never bored of it..
This wonderful music feeds the soul....my imagination flies while I listen to this CD and It feels great after because it reduces stress.. Thank you so much Amethystium for your great music" |
