Robert Carty: Serotonin Ashram

Read "Serotonin Ashram" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Serotonin Ashram , Carty's 1999 release, is quite different from 1998's The Living. This album has much more variety, ranging from “chill" or “drone" ambient, to medium-fast rhythms, to beat-driven pieces along the lines of European synth-rock. It begins with the eleven-minute “Follow Your Bliss" which in its modal melodies, optimistic harmonies and swaying rhythm has become one of my favorite electronic tracks of the past few years.

Carty is highly recommended in this particular sub-genre of his wider spectrum of synth releases.“Twilight," 10:21, ...

Robert Carty: Darklight

Read "Darklight" reviewed by John W. Patterson


A brief synopsis: This release exhibits yet again a very strong contender in the ambient/ space music genre. Carty has achieved another step up into “space/cosmic" effects overall as compared to his earlier Deep Spirit work.“Gravitation," 6:03, is excellent space music with a multitude of effects and an immensely powerful low-end underlying the whole piece. That sense of a huge interstellar craft cruising infinite vistas of star-field is felt. Whisper effects are eerie and effective. The Serrie sensitivities ...
