| REVIEWS |
| Upbeat, spacious, earthy, emotional space music, "Earth Ground" is all of this and more. This CD is influenced by Native American music, but has a rock element as well. The flute on this CD is emersed in deep reverb which gives it a very spacious sound. The synthesizer tones are large and luscious, and the drums have a deep earthy ring to them. A CD that reflects the stableness of Mother Earth, and Love she holds within her spinning Being. This music is for the Earth Heart among us. |
| This recording comes between Skyhearts in 1994 and High Meditations in 1996. and the relationship to the two works is clear in the empolyment of flute sounds and Native American themes. If you like either or both of the other two works, you'll like this one. Like them, Earth Ground features slow, spacious, serene, smoothly-flowing, and relatively simple sounds that evoke the earth and sky, though unlike them the first track is rhythmic. All tracks are good. In this work he seems to be exploring the deeper levels of nature within our being, much as Steve Roach and Robert Rich did in their album Strata. The penultimate piece returns to the most archetypical Cartysian sound, as we enjoy the ecstasy of being "one with" the Earth Mother. But this piece leads without a break into the slow,down-to-earth final track, which has some spooky, cave-like effects that are unique to this album. The frequent flute sounds on this recording are quite soothing, electronically processed to create smooth echo effects. This work has very healing and grounding effects for the listener. --Eric Mystic, DJ Music Programmer |
| Robert Carty is easily among the most diverse electronica performers of the 1990's. "Earth Ground" is his foray into the Native American genre. Robert uses his synth as an ethnic instrument, evoking the appropriate imagery of the sensitivity and deep emotion of Native American spirituality. He also plays a soulful and dirge-like flute. This is slow, ambient atmospheric music. Robert's diversity ranks with that of Steve Roach, Gregory Kiryluk {Alfa Wave Movement, Open Canvas} and Michael Stearns. Robert is comfortable where his spirit and energy take him. --Jim Brenholts, Author of "Tracks Across The Universe". |
