Rosa Mystica Paul A. George

Melodic sound has been going strong for quite a while already, and classic musical instruments can often be heard among the frequencies of electronic dance music. However, only very few combine hand-played and circuit-based rhythm and harmony on such a high, virtuous level as Paul A. George. The reason being arguably that only very few are so talented with the guitar and have so much experience with live concerts as the Australian. That's exactly what makes Polyantha so emotional and intense: Guitar and synthesiser grow around each other organically, sprouting magnificent sonic flowers, their sound colours complementing each other with natural perfection. The beat underneath throbs along in an unobtrusive, yet highly propulsive groove. Then there's Rosalita, a tune that gives full expression to Paul A. George's love for latin sounds. Here the vivacious cathyness of sun-infused strings and claps is extended by the dreamy chanting of a voice.
