Late Night Music Done Right
Michael Hayes Music | Nashville | 03/19/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mars Lasar has been a long time favorite of mine and I can honestly say I've enjoyed all of his works. He has worked as a producer and programmer for Seal and Herbie Hancock. His works have also appeared on television shows Baywatch, Equal Justice, and This is the NFL. Mars has recorded at least 23 albums (39 if you count the 8 volumes of Baby Scapes and 8 volumes of Mindscapes). His work runs the entire gambit of musical moods.



Blue Maze lies somewhere between Sapphire Dreams and the Eleventh Hour series in musical texture. Unlike many CDs instead of hitting you with a high powered set of fast tracks Mars slowly easies you into the first up-tempo track and that makes the collection work very well.



Luna Palace starts off the album with a slow luscious sax and strings piece with hint of Kenny G flavor yet still uniquely stylistically Lasar. Beam with Me starts to pick things up with a mid-tempo Rhodes piano with sexy jazzy flavor. Astral diary has nice tasty slow spacious solo fretless bass carrying the melody. Seeds of Fortune get things cooking with an up-tempo piece in the vein of the 11th Hour series. Hush is a slow mysteriously beautiful waltz with classical overtones. Twilight's Miracle has that real late night bluesy jazz texture. Whispers of Eternity is a beautiful ambient and spacey with flute melody. Temptress is beautiful 6/8 waltz with piano and strings. Sweet Surrender is another 6/8 waltz New Age style. Uptopian Trance rounds things out with another mid-tempo piece in the vein of the 11th hour series.



Blue Maze is definitely one of my top 5 Mars Lasar albums. That is saying a lot since there are so many to choose from. Blue Maze is late night music done right.
