Kevin Moore has demonstrated his keyboard and sampling skills often enough, both as a member of Dream Theater and as the man camouflaged as Chroma Key. In this release, however, he flaunts his stubborn originality in an especially telling manner.
Graveyard Mountain Home was inspired by a social guidance film dating from the eminently square 1950’s. Trust Kevin Moore to dig up the most unusual of these black and white films. In Age 13, the film that inspired this album, a young man fights to comprehend the painful reality of his mother’s death.
Moore reenters the boy’s mind, casting it in an entirely different light through his impressive songwriting skills. But Graveyard Mountain Home isn’t just a new soundtrack for Age 13; it’s a soundtrack for the existence of the individual. Its themes of love, loss, pain, confusion, and redemption are universal. They find their evocation in beautiful keyboard and sampling work; surreal intertwining of rhythm, melody, and harmony; airy guitar work; and minimalist lyrics that manage to summon up the intense meaningfulness of adolescent emotion. Moore has succeeded brilliantly in his attempt to turn Age 13 on its head while capturing its inherent confusion and conflict.
======================================
5.0 out of 5 stars GMH is an excellent recording..do NOT believe Prog is King!,
Graveyard Mountain Home/GMH is Kevin Moore’s latest Chroma Key/CK wonder. Picture an educational film from 1955 with music from today. A wild idea, maybe. But for musician Moore this is just a way to push the envelope musically as an artist. Not to be tied-down into a certain musical genre, his band’s evolution is very satisfying here. This is an interpretation of tunes that seemed befitting as an “”alternate soundtrack to go with the film (AGE 13, 1955)”” says Moore. For the GMH special edition purchase, a DVD of Age 13 with the CK music is included. The feel throughout is moody & slow, yet its reason lies in the point of the story. A tale of grief through acceptance marked by feelings of isolation which lead ultimately to the fruition of hope. “”Before You Started”” is an experimental work of art which includes a jazz vibe set to an off tempo beat and Moore’s punchy lyrics. Check out “”Come In, Over”” for this disc’s finest hour. For the lighter fare, spin “”White Robe”” or “”True and Lost””. This cd is awesome but so is Kevin Moore. Just don’t forget, Moore is set to tour with this release. Be ready and snag all 3 Chroma Key recordings today! Prog is King has an opinion but is absolutely wrong.
