2.5 years ago, I discovered the group Perpetual
Motion, thanks to the introduction of Josie Quick. Josie is a fabulous violin
player with a stellar reputation in the New Age and music community as a whole.
Her partner is Tom Carleno the six-string bandit that populates their Latin
World Fusion sound. There is a lot of music on the new release that will find
its way to world, jazz, Latin and new age streaming stations.
I covered Rear View and enjoyed every minute of it.
So, there is no reason why Dance of Two Souls would not be the same
experience. And just so you know, it was also a very enjoyable experience that
was as memorable as the last release.
The music on Dance of Two
Souls will make your body move, your heart smile, and your soul feel as
light as a feather. In other words, you will be swept away most pleasantly by
this recording. Along the way, you hear jazz, Latin, and acoustic splendor
unfolding all at once within each song.
Even though the music is acoustic
(not electric with lots of noise pinning the VU meter) it does pack a potent
amount of energy, color, sound, texture, and range of vibrations that you will recognize
from beginning to end. It is a non-stop musical serendipity.
Tracks like the world infused
“Diabla” and the incredibly rhythmic and soulful “Where Does The Time Go” which
is something I seem to say every day in this phase of my life. Just wait, it
will happen to you too. The good news that Josie and Tom impart upon us is that
time moves constantly, only our perception of it varies. And that is so true,
it is relative to one’s own world. This is
the pièce de résistance of the entire album, its progressive, rapidly moving
(there is that time thing again), with a lot of instrumentation going on. It is
without a doubt my favorite track on the album, very cool. Now let’s remember
that pièce de résistance refers to the chief dish of a meal or an outstanding
item or event: showpiece. The entire recording serves as a showpiece two this
two great talents coming together and “Where Does The Time Go” is their
showpiece.
This is clearly the Dance of
Two Souls in complete joy, and, we the listeners are the fortunate
recipients of that absolute musical focus. Whether you want to glide around a
room, tap your feet or just kick back and take it all in, this album is a
superb way to allow yourself that space in time for a little of your own
musical nirvana delivered courtesy of Josie Quick and Tom Carleno.
