Karmic Kick
Karmic Kick-The Skies Between and Beyond, the new double album from acclaimed musician Rikus Nieuwenhuis. A panoramic past life review, a reflection on life in 2010 and a statement of future intent, the twinned discs find him working in two apparently diametrically opposing musical styles. By turns playful, uncompromising and introspective, the set presents the listener with an experience remarkable for its breadth and duality. "Between" provides gorgeously lush textures to obliquely spiritual lyrics whilst "Beyond"s surface heaviness hides a wealth of melody and tunefulness.
The Skies Between sees multi-instrumentalist Nieuwenhuis doing duty on drums and guitars while Sarah Hill provides gorgeously lush textures to his obliquely spiritual lyrics. As on both discs, Leon van der Westhuizen handles bass duties with a serpentine, melodic grace to compliment the piano's heavenly presence.
The Skies Beyond presents a harder edge, with Kevin Rule's vocals finding sure footing in Nieuwenhuis' dense, heavy rythms and punchy guitar. The surface heaviness hides a wealth of melody and tunefulness that reveals itself in stages on repeat listens. The versatality of this unique project creates images of motion, energy, joyfulness, landscapes, love, positivity and hope on the one side and pure aggression, speed, extremity, loudness and strenght on the other. Together it is a combination of movie soundtracks, real or imagined.
So what is it about? According to Nieuwenhuis: "It’s just a simple celebration of life here and now, with perhaps a few questions about the unseen. It reflects different moods but it agrees to always seek the light. It’s just the next chapter in this story. It’s just a prelude to what is to follow."
