Blue Stone are among the dozens of electronica pop groups that emerged in the wake of Enigma and Delerium. Like those projects, Blue Stone manage to be upbeat and moody, lush but chilled, deploying insistent looped grooves, seductive textures, and exotic touches of chant, world music tidbits, and breathy singers. And that's just the opening track of their second album, Worlds Apart. Blue Stone are the brainchild of Robert Smith, who produces a similar project called Bella Sonus, and Bill Walters. Their interlocked sequencers, echoing atmospheres, and rhythms that gurgle and shudder like virtual tribal insect drummers, are fronted by vocalist Sheyenne Rivers. She walks the erotic/ecstatic line like a hooker attaining nirvana, singing heavy-breathing songs of love and vague mysticism. Her helium-pitched Greek chorus on "Far Away" is definitely a new wrinkle in the formula. A couple of other singers, Samantha Sandlin and Maura Hurley, handle the faux operatic arias of tracks like "Envy," "Voleti," and "Take Flight." Some of them recall, perhaps a little too closely, the alien aria from The Fifth Element, and even Yanni's take on the famous Delibes aria. With glitchy effects and an absence of blanketing synth string pads, Blue Stone take a genre that has drifted into the middle of the road and put a bit of edge on it--but just a little bit. --John Diliberto

Blue Stone 蓝宝石乐团 的音乐作品最大的特色来自美妙的音调、丰富的钢琴间奏和充满诱惑力的女声,以及在音乐中讲述给听者的迷一般的故事。当他们的音乐从音响中传出,时而宏伟壮丽,时而又深沉柔和。
发行于2006年1月31日的专辑《Breathe 呼吸》带来了令人精神愉悦的听觉享受。在复杂而华丽的电声营造出的氛围中,Darcy极其干净透明的歌剧般的嗓音显得非常有穿透力;复古的打击乐器创造出的原始韵律和现代电子乐创造的节奏,本来矛盾的两种音乐元素在这里却被结合得很好,只会让听者享受不已。精巧的种鸣、耳语般的吟诵和平和的格林高利圣咏,伴随着飞翔的弦乐和Bass,共同演绎着关于时间和生命的主题。《Breathe 呼吸》中的乐曲带有一些流行元素在内,然而它们依然非常深入的对电声、哥特和古典进行了充分而完整的表现。
Blue Stone 蓝宝石 团队有两个富有热情的制作人Robert Smith和Bill Walters,其中Robert Smith同时也是大名鼎鼎的Bella Sonus的策划制作人;而在乐曲中献声的Darcy则拥有扎实的古典声乐功底。现在,他们已经创造出了这张挑战现行的音乐分类体系的专辑。即使如此,《Breathe 呼吸》依然是广大乐迷追捧的、为热爱音乐的人而生的一张专辑。
另外就是,这张专辑的发行厂商是近几年声名鹊起的Neurodisc。真是越来越喜欢这个牌子了,他们的其它经典项目还包括Amethystium和Ryan Farish 瑞恩·法瑞什。
