Nautilus combines the talents of Ralf Obel, (Sampler, Synthesiser,
Sequencer), and Martin Ludwig, (Keyboards, Synthesiser, Sequencer).
Beginning with the gentle 'Message of the Earth' the music's warmth
envelopes you, evoking peaceful, tranquil meditation. Guest musician
Werner Stratz's understated, melodic, Rother-like guitar phrases are
backed by lush synth pads and sequencers.
'Express To Nowhere' features a tentative piano refrain, voice
samples, and percussion before a fast marimba-like sequence kicks in
with sprightly rhythms and provide a frenetic backdrop to some
percussive effects and keyboard solos. Probably one of the less
convincing tracks on offer on the set. 'Iceland' returns to Berlin School
sensibilities with slowly building synth pads sequencers and atmosphere
á la Arcanum. As on the first track Stratz's electric guitar is used to
good effect before the gentle finale. 'Mysterious Underworld', inspired
by Jules Verne's 'Journey To The Centre of the Earth', features some
sprightly sequencer work, after a suitably evocative opening, and
sustained melodic keyboard phrases and Berlin School trademarks in
the first part 'Mushroom Garden', and rockier rhythms, whale sounds,
and female Russian voice in the slightly less convincing second part,
'The Big Ocean'. 'On the Beach' continues the aquatic theme a little
more convincingly here, set against rock rhythms, and unusually for
the album, minimalist melodic interest courtesy of repetitive ambient
textures.
'The Source of Life' returns to the faster sequencers, and more
accessible melodies and rhythms, spoiled in places, for me, by some
rather primitive percussion treatments and annoying voice samples.
'Volcano Ride' is one of the more impressive cuts featuring again,
some excellent sequencer work and melodic backdrops. 'Back On
Earth' slows the pace a little, but the sequencers are still high in the
mix, this time underpinned with a steady incessant beat, and
accompanied by effectively understated melodies. Finally, 'Earthdance'
starts with a frankly disastrous dance rhythm and funky horn effects.
There is even a deeply annoying whistle, oft deployed on dance
records, which will either have you reaching for the off button, or a
shotgun. Just as you think it can't get worse an annoying voice
sample featured on an earlier track reappears again. However, things
begin to get better after the four minute mark, as only the better
elements of the rhythm track remain behind supporting understated,
melancholic keyboard work. Although I found this to be an uneven
set, the highpoints outnumber the lows and this will be of interest to
fans of melodic Berlin School New Age electronics.
