Ron Boots is a great fan of reading: science fiction, fantasy, historical or suspense: he reads it all. Actually, Ron has just too little time to read everything he buys. Time he also puts into making his music.
His last album “Acoustic Shadows” was inspired by history. See “Beyond Times - Look Beyond Words” is a continuation of this album but now Ron looks more into his favorite writers like Zelasny, Wren, King and -most of all- Tolkien and Vance.
To help him with this, his friends Gert Emmens, Harold van der Heijden, Henri Peters (on guitar), Paul Ellis en Frank Van Bogaert gave a hand. Ron is a master is mixing a diversity of electronic music styles: from Berliner Schule, melodically compositions, ambient atmospheres and rhythmically, danceable tracks. Ron doesn’t pin point on one particularly direction and that is one of his biggest talents.
Pieces like “Hour Of The Wolf”, opening with a Klaus Schulze-lile sequence and with a solo by Gert Emmens and the excellent “Boesllistian” (a collaboration with Paul Ellis) are nearly typically retro while “We Are Off” is very lively, a mix between dance and rock. “Radar” is a special piece. It was originally a piece for a dance written by Martijn Rijssen. Ron liked it so much, that he decided to re-work it and give it his “Ron Boots-sauce”. Henri Peters plays a fine guitar solo.
This all leads to an album that is very varying and that counts amongst the finest albums the best electronic musician from The Netherlands has made until now. All tracks played by Ron Boots except where noted
