PROG REVIEWER
3 stars Surya Kris Peters´Moonstruck (2016) is a 6 track release which goes beyond the merely electronic prog tagging by blending in some acoustic instruments and different stylings.

In some way this 35+- minute EP actually takes off around track 3: Sleepless City- An inventive & ethereal urban/electronic composition. The previous tracks just kind of set the mood even though track 2: The Legend Of Raja Shakuu (the longest track of this EP) promises much in its intro but stays kind of short of a very good "Kraut/Blues" idea.

Track 4: Chandra Luna is faithful to the feel of his 2016 The Hermit, a kind of electro/acoustic pagan ritual feel by the way.

Moonstruck Serenade, which follows, is a strange but creative merge between acoustic piano and a leading creepy sounding organ surrounded by electronic quirks and noises. An unorthodox poetic blend which oddly works out.

The album closes with La Morriña another strange mixture between acoustic guitar alongside a kind of Theremin sound which has no mention as an intrument on the instruments listing, if anything, this track is interesting and fun.

For an EP what is good could have been more and some good ideas stay short of their own possible outcome.

***3 PA´s stars.
