about

The Netherlands’ Groove label, perhaps the premiere label for sequencer-heavy electronic music, has been on quite the roll lately, releasing and distributing a number of albums by newcomers and veterans alike. This batch of releases presents the label’s stylistic range from ambient/drift electronic music through Berlin school and borderline techno styles.

Rudy Adrian is one of the label’s brightest stars and while the last couple releases by him have been firmly in sequencer/planetarium/space mode, Across the Silver River represents the New Zealand synthesist’s ambient side. The album is a bit odd in that it was initially recorded as a solo album of Adrian’s, but due to Ron Boots’ enthusiasm for the album, it was turned into a collaboration by overdub. Adrian’s ambient style is actually not a child of the American tribal/indigenous school (think Steve Roach) entirely, and despite the addition of percussion and sequences (more a product of Boots’ addition than Adrian’s intention), the sound retains an alluring freshness and mystique missing from so much of the European ambient musicians for whom Sonoran deserts and rainsticks still remain the dominant influences.
The results are a lot like the music of another New Zealand synthesist, David Parsons, particularly with the sequencer and percussive additions. We already know Boots is no slouch, so this attests greatly to the skill of Adrian in more than one electronic school.

Clearly Euro-electronic is striving to surpass its influences while attempting to evoke the same sort of emotion and impact these same influences did for the new crop of artists. And really there is no label more intrepid than Groove where this is concerned.
