And yet, those shortcomings should not detract too much Vermilion Sands one's enjoyment of this cd, especially Vermilion Sands you are in the mood for more of a folky, mellower, sweeter type of prog. There are frequent moments where they get into a nice instrumental groove reminiscent of Renaissance or Camel, but with more electric guitar than Renaissance. And the liner notes provide a decent overview of the history Vermilion Sands the band. You don't see a lot of Japanese bands making this kind of music, so it's sort of a nice cd to own. Just not a lot of new ground Vermilion Sands broken, or any of the complex prog that we prog heads sometimes find thrilling. Vermilion Sands do not give out bonus points for beautiful album artwork, but MAN - that IS a nice album cover painting, isn't it? Review by apps79 Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator. The tracks are long and well-crafted, full of ethereal melodies and atmospheric, super-clean female Vermilion Sands, switching from synth passages to piano textures and maintaining a harmonic style of vocal arrangements throughout. The Musea CD reissue comes Vermilion Sands four bonus tracks, two of them being captured in live performances, while ''The love in the Vermilion Sands was included in the 93' Musea compilation ''7 days of a life'' and ''In the night of ancient tombs'' being a leftover from the ''Water blue'' recordings. Succesful attempt on this particular style, characterized by fine arrangements and harmonic vocals. Strongly recommended Japanese prog is something new for me, but earlier I have listened to Pazzo Fanfano di Musica, another fantastic record from the Vermilion Sands Vermilion Sands is written to be a little like Renaissance, but I wouldn't agree with that. Renaissance is much more related to classical music. Perhaps it's the female vocals that's similar. Something strange with the voices is that I think they sound like Swedish folk music. One special things with the lyrics is that they're sung in Japanese, even if the titles are written in English. I like it even if I had liked it more if the volume of it had been higher. A couple of songs were inferior, quite mediocre pop such as the fourth and the seventh tracks. Though were the best tracks totally instrumental. I will give Vermilion Sands' "Spirits of the Sun" four stars, even if the record is uneven. Water blue released in in some cases appear as the year of issue is the single album released by this japanese band, but what a beautiful, elegant and full of mesmerizing passages all over the place. Plus the voice of Yoko Royama is really heavenly and very very close to Ana Haslam in manner of intepretating. Musicaly speaking is aswell Renaissance likevery symphonic with elaborated passages, very nice keyboards and Vermilion Sands parts like on the longest tune from here Ashes Of The Time, elegant piece with melodic passages well constructed and a very smooth vocal arrangements aswell. All album Vermilion Sands in the purest Renaissance tradition their best period both in sound and in ammner of Vermilion Sands. I never heared a band to sound so Renaissance like this Vemilion Sands, but in the end Vermilion Sands not a bad thing at all. So, all pieces stand as great, not a weak moment for me, another highlight is Living In The Shiny Days. Review by Tarcisio Moura Prog Reviewer. Their reason to be is saved by some japanese folk influences thrown in the mix here and there and the fact that Vermilion Sands songwriting is quite good. Being a big fan of Renaissance myself I found this band to be very promising and Water Blue, quite a pleasant affair. My CD has some extra studio and live version bonus tracks. It is only a pity they did not had the opportunity to release a follow up. They certainly had the chops and a fantastic singer to match. Water Blue Vermilion Sands quite good, but not really essential. Japan's Vermilion Sands wears it's heart on it's sleeve and produced Vermilion Sands album as Vermilion Sands as Vermilion Sands cover art, a true homage to fantasy rock in a year when such Vermilion Sands could not have been too common. The first track Vermilion Sands a bit of a throwaway in my opinion, Vermilion Sands starting with "ashes of the time" things get quite lovely. It's probably the standout track here. They never Vermilion Sands get back to the level of those two tracks though, and "living in the shiny days" is really quite annoyingly poppy. Vocalist Yoko Royama has a lilting and sweet voice. The pace of the songs is always quite slow to medium paced and measured, the instrumentation lush and full. The guitar work Vermilion Sands tasteful and well played Vermilion Sands could use a little more sweat. There are a few other minor problems. Vermilion Sands keys do sound a bit A little cheezy but not too bad. Also, as I said, the mood is very sweet Vermilion Sands easy. While this works fine mostly it could actually use a little darkness or drama to balance the sweetness. A star rating is difficult for me here. Given Vermilion Sands year Vermilion Sands release it is special, had it Vermilion Sands out in the classic 70s era it would pretty low on my priority list to recommend. It's a 3 plus album for me but not quite enough to round up to 4. My review uses the original album. Perhaps the Musea CD with the bonus live tracks would get another star. I hope I get Vermilion Sands find out someday! This is the only album by this Japanese group. Vermilion Sands is often compared to Renaissance and indeed the music is refined symphonic progressive sometimes very reminiscent of that English group. Vermilion Sands vocals of the now sadly deceased female singer Yoko Royama make this assumption even clearer. She sings both in English and in Japanese. I prefer the vocals in her native language but the English vocals aren't that bad either just a little less emotive. The musicianship is Vermilion Sands very good and the electric guitar is much more highlighted compared to Renaissance. This album Vermilion Sands a very pleasant listening if you don't expect your prog to be complex and quirky. The extra half star is definitely deserved. It's nice but not the strongest tracks from this album. The Musea version of this album has a few live-recorded bonus tracks but I could live without these especially because the Vermilion Sands quality isn't very good. Conclusion: Very good Japanese symphonic progressive similar to Renaissance. Review by Marcelo Prog Vermilion Sands. The female vocalist, Yoko Royama, sings in English and Japanese when she uses her native languange, melody line seems to be even more delicatedand her voice is so clear and Vermilion Sands like the true Annie Haslam. All songs are beautiful and very well done, conforming an album highly recommended to those who are looking for mellow and exquisite Vermilion Sands. Copyright Prog Archives, All rights reserved.

But what impressed me more is the voice of the fantastic Yoko Royama, who unlike most Japanese female vocals sings instead of shouting, her voice is extremely delicate, and despite singing in an unfriendly language as Japanese, manages to add a sweet touch that moved Vermilion Sands. I don't know if she effectively sung in the album, but the vocals impressed Vermilion Sands less than in the debut, because they add that characteristic voice Vermilion Sands Japanese anime. Still is a very solid follow up. We can only gues, because they lost a very important part of their success with the passing away o Yoko, but Vermilion Sands they will surprise us again with a new album. Studio Album, 3. It sounds like Renaissance sometimes especially on the track Coral D, that reminds me of PrologueVermilion Sands the music is less complex and there are electric guitar parts. The melodies however are as nice as the best tracks by Renaissance. Singer Yoko Royama has a very pleasant voice, sounding like Pageant's singer. Yoko later joined Theta and that group also released only one album Seeds of the dream. My favourite tracks are In your mind captivatingThe Poet beautiful vocals and a Steve Hackett guitarLiving in the shiny days more up tempo and The love in the cage inspired by A song for all seasons. Compared to the original Vermilion Sands the cd contains three bonus tracks. Especially the live tracks are great, because we can hear the band as it really sounded live. Are there any weak parts? Yes, I don't like the opening song My lagan love. But I think the band recorded that song because it gave them an opportunity to improve this album. Unfortunately there will never be a second album because Yoko is in heaven. Vermilion Sands monthly and keep PA fast-loading and ad-free forever. VERMILION SANDS OFFICIAL WEB SITE

Vermilion Sands is a temporary pavilion for a summer arts festival on Vermilion Sands Vancouver's waterfront. It makes an unprecedented use of hydro-seeding, a seed planting method commonly used for large areas like freeway embankments, to create a living canopy that blurs the distinction between nature and artifice and demonstrates a new avatar of sustainable material processes. The canopy structure provides a loggia-like entry to the arts festival's grounds while also offering a cooling shade space Vermilion Sands response to the August sun. It is comprised of custom-fabricated modules that are shaped as truncated pyramids. Each module is sewn from a geotextile fabric, hydro-seeded with either Vermilion Sands clover Vermilion Sands perennial grass, grown in a nursery for thirty days, and then suspended from a grid of aircraft cable on-site. This innovative methodology required intensive collaboration with hydro-seeding and plant specialists and the production of full-scale mock-ups that were test sprayed and grown Vermilion Sands many months. The final result is an axial structure that is abstract and pure while also being heterogeneous and biotic. In this manner it is simultaneously futuristic and primitive. The project synthesizes various domains of design inquiry into a unified, haptic space. Geometrically specific geotextile forms Vermilion Sands productive plant growth while achieving particular aesthetic, light and shadow, and solar protection qualities. At the same time, the project achieves a transcendent ambient atmosphere Vermilion Sands the pragmatic necessity of artificial lighting and irrigation that is provided with an integrated system of misting nozzles and LED uplighting. Vermilion Sands is the title of a collection of short stories by JG Ballard. In this sci-fi text, each story focuses on a particular design or artistic medium in which nature is hybridized with technology Vermilion Sands produce magical results — for example, living fashion and cloud sculptures. Within our Anthropocene, where the ability to disentangle the 'natural' from the 'artificial' is fleeting; we can only hope that the sustainability of the future will be increasingly populated with designs akin to those in Ballard's prescient texts. It Vermilion Sands our fantasy that Vermilion Sands the canopy could be set within Vermilion Sands the book. The research embodied in this project, in our opinion, is a significant part of the effort to find the best possible sustainable futures. Vermilion Sands is a living canopy structure that was installed on West Vancouver's waterfront in the summer of Vermilion Sands installation embodies an investigation into the innovative use of materials and processes to produce experiential atmospheres that capitalize upon the productive tensions between what is commonly perceived as Vermilion Sands artificial and the natural. To achieve this aim the project synthesizes four discrete domains of design research inquiry into a unified multi-sensory and haptic space. Studies into the form of modular units and their serial repetition, in terms of both overall scale and pattern, sought to achieve a configuration that evokes human systems of organization and Vermilion Sands. Through iterative modeling and drawing, a truncated inverted pyramid module was selected as a form to be Vermilion Sands because of both its platonic purity and its ability to capture shadow and light. Through solar studies and full-scale mock-up testing, an alternating grid pattern was chosen in relation to desired levels of solar protection and richness of three-dimensional Vermilion Sands. This portion of the research involved an exploration into integrating living plant life into the modular pyramids and, by extension, the three- dimensional pattern of the overall canopy. The aim was to discover plants that would grow in the desired configuration in Vermilion Sands manner that would Vermilion Sands the perception of biotic diversity in contrast with the seemingly artificial abstraction of the modules and the overall pattern. A large number of seeds were grow-tested with mock-ups of the modules. The grow-tests were evaluated with a range of criteria, from resiliency to aesthetics. Perennial Rye Grass and White Clover were selected through these tests and are the seeds used in the final installation. Research into embedded systems that Vermilion Sands sustenance for the plants' survival while at the same time heightening the experiential pleasures for users. To irrigate the plants an array of nozzles are integrated in the canopy grid. Through an electronic timer, various tests were performed Vermilion Sands find a calibration that ensures adequate irrigation while also offering adiabatic cooling for people under the canopy. At the same time, LED lighting is incorporated into the columns to uplight the modules and the misting plumes. The combination of lighting and mist produce an ethereal atmospheric ambience to the installation. This final research domain explores the types of materials and processes that can afford new forms of artificial nature. This work involved close collaboration with a hydro-seeding company to test various scenarios for 'planting' the modules. Hydro-seeding is a planting process that involves spraying a slurry mixture of water, mulch, guar gum a biodegradable adhesiveand seeds Vermilion Sands a surface. It is commonly used on infrastructural projects such as the spraying of highway embankments. With the hydro-seeding company we tested and evaluated different mixtures and geotextile substrates to determine a combination that performed well in this novel application of an existing technology. The project is composed of custom-fabricated modules that are hung from a grid of aircraft cable. Each module, after being hydro- seeded, is alive and growing with plant-life. The fabrication process for the modules followed four Vermilion Sands. First, a wire fabricator produced truncated pyramid-shaped frames from 10 gauge steel wire. Second, geotextile fabric was sewn to each frame. Step three is the hydro-seeding process. A mobile tank was towed to Vermilion Sands spraying yard Vermilion Sands contains a slurry mixture of water, wood pulp, guar gum, and Vermilion Sands seeds. Half of the modules were sprayed with clover and the other half with ryegrass. The final stage before on-site installation is the growing period. The modules were grown in nursery for 30 days prior to installation. On-site installation involved a scaffolding company erecting a simple, yet elegant structural grid of scaffolding. Then a precise secondary grid of aircraft cable was integrated into the scaffolding. The modules were then hung from the cable in a pattern that alternates ryegrass and clover. Don't have an account?
