Rainbow Dome Musick (1979) ...
Steve Hillage created the music for Rainbow Dome Musick for a 'new age' festival for Mind-Body-Spirit at Olympia in London, April 21st-29th 1979... It is too avante-garde to be heard just as 'new age' music, though it does aspire to be 'ambient', in the real sense since it was designed to fill the Rainbow Dome...Garden of Paradise ...
"Garden of Paradise" is a lush, intricately woven melange of guitar, piano, and synthesizer which are all pioneered by Hillage. Giving the track its feel and sustenance are the Tibetan bells and the powerful undertow of Miquette Girandy's double sequencer. The instruments gracefully converge to craft the non-existent paradise in which Hillage has musically created. "Four Ever Rainbow" contains much more rhythm and current thanks to the electric and glissando guitar and the subtle hovering of a harmoniser played by Rupert Atwill. The final result of the culmination of both tracks is a relaxing and pleasantly divergent journey through a sorted spectrum of instruments, making this album one of Steve Hillage's best solo pieces. ... allmusic.com ...
