Smoke & Mirrors - White Roses Painted Red
Aural Fixation Records PINNA03 "White Roses Painted Red," the third CD from Smoke & Mirrors, takes the listener on a 23-song journey down the rabbit's hole to Wonderland, a mysterious and dark world that is fanciful, curious and queer, a world of potion and cake, magic mushrooms, mad tea parties and flamingo croquet. Based on the characters from the Lewis Carroll's "The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" and their experiences, "White Roses Painted Red" follows Alice as she encounters the time-challenged White Rabbit, the menacing Duchess, the elusive Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the angry Queen of Hearts, the unhappy Mock Turtle, and the other characters of Wonderland. |

Make no mistake, this is not children's music, but rather, a dazzling array of soundscapes encompassing myriad musical styles, as is commonplace for Smoke & Mirrors. From the bombastic The Mad Tea Party to the surreal Falling into the Underground; from the playful Caucus Race to the dark, psychedelic The Queen of Hearts; from the ambient The Smoking Caterpillar to the beautiful and haunting A Curious Dream, Michael Ely and Spider Taylor's musical wizardry ebbs and flows, never letting you forget you are in Wonderland. Smoke & Mirrors have once again composed a heavily layered mix of cinematic soundscapes and rock instrumentals featuring sensual, driving guitars, eerie, dreamlike strings, dramatic percussion, and smoky, captivating ambience. Just like Wonderland itself, this collection of music is guaranteed to enchant and delight you. |
