Blue Stone’s sound resonates with ambrosial melodies, opulent piano interludes and seductive vocals; interweaving a tapestry of enigmatic story-telling. The music transcends from the speakers. Blue Stone is an electronic-pop musical project formed by producer/programmer Robert Smith and producer/multi-instrumentalist Bill Walters. With the addition of diverse and contrasting vocal styles, that range from choral to pop to new age and chill-out to the indescribable, Blue Stone have amassed a quality and dedicated following as well as a strong foothold in a sub genre of so many other ‘genres.’ Emphasis is on the female voice.
On the latest and new studio LP ‘Messages,’ Blue Stone perhaps make it their business to put to use an abundant amount of true percussion, very often played by hand by Robert and Bill and the varying tonalities used in both the instruments and recording techniques of the percussive elements. This and the densely and artfully crafted vocal treatments will perhaps become the statement and thumbprint that Blue Stone will set down on this recording. Robert Smith is quite capable of playing far more instruments than are on display with Blue Stone, and one wonders when those others will creep in – for now, it would seem the purpose of this vehicle is not to show off how much musicianship one has, but rather, the harmony that exist in synergy, collaboration and partnership. A good example of their openness to work with others is their collaboration with Bridin Brennan, Enya’s youngest sister, and the effortless coming together of the two camps was almost surreal in its happenings.
