MAX RAVENHILL is AKA WHISPER aka Christopher Johnson that hails from the U.K. In taking on this new character, he is singing and playing about Georgina and The Dragon, which was inspired by Ravi Shankar's album, Transmigration Macabre.
His styles include Indian, Western and World music and wants to inspire peace and love in the world.[He was, also, formerly known as Kurisu.] On this album, Max Ravenhill plays guitar, sitar, bass, keys, programming and all vocals. This 17 song album was Produced. Mixed, Engineered and Mastered by Christopher Johnson.
BROKEN WORLD kicks off this album with great sitar playing as there is a simple beat that keeps the song at its steady place. If you listen closely, you can feel his music talking to you. So, so sweet. DANCE OF JUSTICE has a different back beat as his sitar playing takes center stage once again. The melody and beat are quite intriguing, to say the least.
KAT GUITAR brings a whole new feel as he strums away on the guitar as the song is laid back. I find this song very relaxing. DUMB BEAST has a cool melody as he picks away with a bit of a country music feel as this song will make you happy and jump around at it. Play it loud. I love it. KAT SITAR is another take on Kat Guitar but played on a sitar which is nice to hear. Definitely, worth checking it out. I love the sound of the sitar, which you rarely hear any more.
THE VICTOR PRINCESS is another epic song on this album as his subdued playing is on pace on every song on this album. Just flow along with it and enjoy the ride. BROKEN WORLD? [Vocal edit] is another interesting take he does on this song. I like it alot.REALISM brings this magnificent album to an end. As his vocals are great to hear. Listen close and this is no doubt you'll get into it. I want to THANK MAX for getting in touch with me. You can find him at: Bandcamp, Deezer, IHeartradio, Pandora, You tube and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
