This CD covers alot of different ground. It begins with a steady earthy rhythm with a breathy
flute. From there it moves into an eletronic whirlwind with the track ELECTRIC BLOOD.
This track has reflections of the old german school electronics and yet it has atmospheric blood
cursing through the vibrations. From there, the track ROOTS OF SOUL brings in the deep
droning of a processed didgeridoo. The last track is a 30:00 epic divided into four different parts.
There is an East Indian influence but from there it merges into pure ambient space. With
shamanistic features and 90's electronics, this CD is in a class by itself.  
 
Here Robert takes us on a sonic adventure into the source of our being, and into some of the
sources of his own musical inspiration as well. "Breath", the first track, has a Native American
feel similar to"Earth Ground" and to "Spiraling In" from "Life Rhythms", and next two tracks have
a darker Schulzian or TD sound. The finale is a 30-minute tour-de-force that moves through four
wonderful sections, leading us into an experience of the Source. On this CD Carty continues with
the darker sounds from "Darklight", but this time with a bit more energy, power and sensuality. A
good sound system may be needed to fully experience all the resonant bass tones in this work

"Source" is an absolutely electo-tribal set from the multi-dimensional creative genius of Robert Carty.
This extremely talented artiste has added the flute and didgeridoo to his repertoire. The result is some
blazing desert ambience that would make Steve Roach proud. While maintaining his ambient and minimalist
leanings, Robert has stepped into some rhythmic territory. While it may not be familiar ground, he masters
it immediately. The music is gentle and flowing. The rhythm, while not subtle, does not overpower or drive the
melody. The caravan journeys to the rhythm zone and back. This is important desert ambience.
