Genre: Drone Ambient/ Experimental Ambient
Track Listing:
01 Summer Song 2007 (Grass Smells Funny)
02 Rainbow's End?
Surrealistic voyages and abstract forms of colorful shapes will emanate brilliant textures over your mind in this expressive cohesion of limitless reality created by the Finnish Bearly Queen, a drone ambient / experimental structure which seems to elevate itself over its own existence. This fifth album, "Rainbows End"", is the third Bearly Queen release by fellow Fin's Luovaja Records. This is the final album in the trilogy, and without a doubt one of the best ones in the musical career of Bearly Queen. So to explore the paradise found within "Rainbow's End?", you must first enter the deep conceptual elements in Bearly Queen themselves.
This CD-R is released in a very limited edition of only 50 copies and includes two musical expressions over nearly 40 minutes of eerie drone ambient with many diverse elements and facets surrounding both tracks. Bearly Queen's fifth album was made during a few lonely hours on the 20th of November, 2008. On this album, Bearly Queen continues his experiments with dark atmospheres within minimalistic, yet organic settings. A dreaming magical space explored by this enigmatic act shows us through this release a part of the latent potential and creativity Bearly Queen possesses when developing in the fields of drone music.
The first track is "Summer Song 2007 (Grass Smells Funny) with almost 8 minutes of explorative drone sounds which increase its strong nature with the passage of time. Each sound is carefully processed and each element is suggestive. The second and final track is "Rainbow's End?", a very long song with almost 38 minutes of pure eerie dismal atmospheres with an enigmatic touch as well as abstract elements which crawl from the drone soundscapes and generate diverse elemental forces. These forces are connected at their highest levels with mushroom trips and psychedelic exploration of realms under the influence of such marvelous substances.
The music of "Rainbow's End?" is a voyage to a perfect paradise full of visions and sounds that mutate within the passage of minutes. This is an interesting track with moment of clarity and obscure emanations that transport us where our minds want to float in. "Rainbow's End?" is perhaps the darkest of the three, lacking any lighter moments that were found in the previous albums. It lulls your mind with increasing dull colors. They say that there's a treasure at the end of the rainbow but who are "they"? The album art shows us a beautiful red mushroom in its natural surroundings and goes further to suggest the psychedelic nature behind the album's compositions.
