User Album Review
Formed in 1998, Chaostar is an experimental musical collective which explores atmospheric soundscapes, neoclassical compositional structures, operatic vocal stylings and contemporary musical conventions to create an ambience and musical experience unlike anything else one can expect to hear. Chaostar’ upcoming release ‘The Undivided Light’ is an intriguing and enticing examination into the previously mentioned musical landscapes that is set to further establish Chaostar as one of the most important names in the international world music scene.
The album opens with a stunning, operatic solo vocal introduction to the first track, Tazama Jua. Androniki Skoula offers jaw-dropping vocal performances across all tracks found on ‘The Undivided Light’ and this first tracks offers a sneak peek into the emotive and soul-moving performances one can expect moving further into the album. The track slowly unfolds into a bombastic yet ethereal symphonic piece combining the eclectic influences of electronic instrumentation neo-classical string elements.
In conclusion, ‘The Undivided Light’ is a superbly executed exploration into the musical dominions of the ambient, symphonic, operatic and ethnic. Overall, an excellent returning effort by Chaostar.
