Blue Spark | Transmitter

CD, Good-Ink

Tekst: Maurice Dielemans

Publicatiedatum: 23 december 2000

If I had to think of one word to describe the rich music of Blue Spark, it would be "emotive". Their music consists of a refreshing and more radio-friendly alternative rock sound along with the influences of Neil Young, Son Volt, and the Jayhawks.
Blue Spark's band leader Garth Reeves is probably best known for being "that bitchin' guitar player" in the Seattle-based indie-rock band Goodness. Among those who helped out on Blue Spark's debut 'Transmitter' are Reeves' Goodness band mates Chris Friel and Danny Newcomb, together with producer Kevin Suggs and engineer Joe Hadlock on piano.
The first song on 'Transmitter' is one of the best rock songs that I've ever heard. 'Better of Me' combines the psychedelic arrangements of 60s rock with the personal and excellent lyrics of Reeves. The intriguing guitar lines of 'Parks of Olympia', nice harmonies and an organ - It's all here in seven beautiful songs. Although this is a very short album with less than thirty minutes of music, it's definitely well worth exploring.
