Press Reviews Bluestar can write the most eloquent language, but the amazing impressions in their music are often brought about by the aural inventions with which they juxtapose serious, beautiful and grotesque elements. There are few things in music today as compact and spellbinding as the climax of many of their sounds. Here the potency of the conception is inseperable from the multi-levelled series of devices that become its expression. What Bluestar have introduce is the idea of intelligent musicians capable of judging the values of their contributions. Their music is a nightmare of vast feuds over tiny details, of surrealist anecdotes that all turn round the same assertation: everything needs to change. The artistic consequences are severe. Their music is not a jungle, it is a machine into which a great many parts snugly interlock. Yet each of these parts is brutalised; it has been deformed to fit and function smoothly. In theory, this tension should lead to an atmosphere of fear and were this the case, its destructiveness would be clearly seen. In practice, however, the underlying tension leads just as directly to an atmosphere which is very emotional, throbbing with an extraordiary sense of calm and control. Ladies and gentlemen....Bluestar.
