Details:
"Offshore Islands," by Ron Boots and John Kerr, was originally released in 1990. The good folks at Groove Unlimited (Kees Aerts and Ron Boots) re-released it in 1998.
The unlikely pairing of John, known for his classical approach, and Ron, known for more cosmic soundscapes, was a stroke of genius.
The resulting sound is a dramatic crescendo of energy and waves of unabashed sonic panache. The islands referenced in the title are offshore oil rigs, presumably in the North Atlantic. The album pays homage to the crews working the rigs and the hardships that they endure.
The music is crisp and clean. The diametric styles clash and conjoin, emphasizing the mutual respect that these artists have for each other and for their theme.
Having collaborated on material for "Dreamscapes," also a 1990 release, they had enough familiarity with each other to know where to go wit h the music and how to go there together.
