RY X – Only {Stevie R & The Acid Beast Edition} – (Chapter 24)

RY X’s delicate, haunting melodies reflect the beautiful nature of his compositions which succeed in capturing the ethereal and sublime. Perhaps that doesn’t quite sound on paper like it would translate easily into the sunshine spirit of Dance music, however in the obviously more than capable hands of Stevie R & The Acid Beast that’s precisely what occurs (on this free download). Nothing short of the song quite overpowers the music – as it should be in this case – feeling almost underplayed yet all the more devastatingly emotional for it. Uncomplicated drums ride the wave of sensation while occasional guitar strums alongside pulsating bass colour the perfectly crafted arrangement. Inspired.
