title: Silent 77
artist: Geskia
cat#: FLAU05
date: 07.May.2008
 The stunning debut album by Geskia "Silent77", is unquestionably
a masterpiece of Japanese underground hip hop and breakbeats.
"Silent77" is hugely inspired by a picturesque setting sun
that has been imprinted into Geskia's musical mind. The awe-inspiring
magnitude of evening sun ray that covered a quiet town where the curtain
of night was slowly falling down, is remarkably reproduced in Geskia's
dazzling energized beats and noisy beautiful pad. Geskia, through his
distinctive music style, beautifully reinterpreted, with strong heartfelt
emotion, the silent speed and soundless energy that relayed by the overwhelming
yellowish sunbeams and the contrasted loneliness of the little town.
Many of these sophisticated inner feelings of human and complex musical
interpretations are expressed precisely by mesmerizing programming skill
possessed by Geskia, whom Dose-One spoke very highly of. As you will
soon discover, "Silent 77" is a brilliant testimonial by Geskia,
who is a '77er, that "silent" can be wildest loudness that
evoke our feelings!
