Today is 23rd of April 2008,
   
On the clock in a position hands adjusted itself
   
Understandable as 11:18.
   
Yesterday I have received "Visions Of Surya" album.
   
I have listened to it in the deep bosom of the night,
   
And in this moment from the bottom of my heart,
   
To answer for the questioningly words
   
And flickered in yet distant expectations:
   
Total masterpiece!
   
Likewise as in a case
   
Of Ishvara's "Magik Square Of The Sun"
   
And of Elve's "Infinite Garden",
   
Virtual - The HillierIshq port,
   
Presented a landscape
   
That sail out outside the frames
   
And beyond all that world
   
Of standard definitions,
   
Typical perceiving.
   
"Visions Of Surya" measure up expectations,
   
Which never exists,
   
Because they couldn't exists,
   
Because it's The Music without the borders,
   
Absolutely free
   
And the freedom to the listener(!) giving.
   
This is The Musical revolution
   
That is making at the present.
   
Discovering the biggest Musical truism,
   
Which we have in front of us
   
Not perceptibling it:
   
That The Music are the sounds,
   
Which
   
Can be absolutely free created,
   
And which
   
Can be not created according to schemes,
   
That we have freedom,
   
That we by oneself
   
Limiting oneself
   
...not others us.
   
I have listened to this album just one time,
   
Just yesterday,
   
But this is enough for me
   
To proudly bow to its creators,
   
Matt Hillier and Jake Stephenson.
   
Their joint piece,
   
The complete psychedelic journey,
   
Is The Music brilliantly so much,
   
As previous from Virtual.
   
But what we wanted to receive this time,
   
If we even couldn't imagine it?
   
But They in spite of this knew the answer,
   
And the answer gave us here:
   
Sounds all the time taken
   
Over atrance for the masses arrangements,
   
That are everything that
   
Couldn't be dream of by oneself,
   
And which They into The Beauty have composed
   
From the intensively psychedelic ecstasy
   
To the nirvana of blissful
   
...for us.
   
I can use only the positive words
   
For describing every note of
   
"Visions Of Surya",
   
For the details in its contained,
   
For the vast plein-airs appeared,
   
But curiosity I would like to summon,
   
From my yesterday thoughts,
   
That at the very end of the fourth track
   
There is a sampel
   
From the radio?
   
From the television?
   
Unsure I am...
   
Besides the sure: in langugae it is
   
...Polish!...
   
Definitely the majority of The Music
   
That touch me,
   
Creates inquiring thoughts,
   
That try to judge,
   
Then I see lacks in it,
   
I compare them to the masterpieces of style.
   
In "Visions Of Surya" case,
   
As well as other The HillierIshq structures,
   
Comparing can be not done,
   
Because this is exactly the masterpiece of style,
   
...ambient.
   
But it's also in my feelings,
   
That this Music is not the masterpiece
   
Of ambient,
   
But the masterpiece
   
Of the whole.
   
The Music absolutely free,
   
Where anything can happen.
   
As Balzac described Chopin:
   
"More Polish than Poland",
   
Both this Music is more
   
Free
   
Than the artistic freedom
   
...so much enslaved.
   
Because when I yesterday have listened to "Visions Of Surya"
   
I had that kind of sense,
   
That this Music go beyond
   
Any genre,
   
As oneself is crystallizing define;
   
Into the perfectly successful another part
   
Of Matt Hillier's visionary imagination.
   
So when you see the rating 6/5,
   
Then the previous pieces from the series are on 6/5 too.
   
And Virtual as that port too
   
Priceless, lovely
   
As the most marvelous place
   
I have ever saw.
   
You can be the artist,
   
That sell oneself.
   
You can be The Artist,
   
That creates one's Musical "I".
   
You can be THE ARTIST,
   
That creates one's Musical "I",
   
But who set off for a new path, who want to discover,
   
And discover.
   
THE ARTISTS are the creators of this album.
   
Sadness;
   
Jake Stephenson "moved into invisible world".
   
And as
   
The greatest ARTISTS are moving to the living history,
   
So and he is in it already.
   
With Matt Hillier
   
He showed,
   
That The Music is not a stiff system,
   
That The Music have no rules
   
...because the art don't have them.
   
Take a piece of paper and paint.
   
You can paint everything.
   
This is how works our art
   
...human.
   
Because everybody have the possibility
   
To do something big,
   
Yet not every challenge
   
Oneself.
   
Such THE PERSONS,
   
As Matt and Jake,
   
Proved within their Muse,
   
That depends in this world everything,
   
Everything,
   
On us.
   
We can sell oneself,
   
We can do something big.
   
Matt and Jake did something big.
   
What we will do?...
   
For sure - something we must.
