Del Rey & The Sun Kings “Battleship Potemkin” (Trakwerx, POB 1467, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272). In this extravagantly packaged CD release, Del Rey & The Sun Kings present a mesmerizing epic update of the original score for the 1925 Russian silent film The Battleship Potemkin. It’s a magical, awe-inspiring array of lush, ambient, transcendental sounds that stir within me a deep desire to traverse the seven seas and explore every nook and cranny of unblemished earthen soil. I would then bellow from the mountaintops of Tibet and swim the frigid, ancient fjords of Norway and somewhere along the way die a content man knowing the world was all mine even though for just a brief while. A feeling of beautiful brashness abounds within the delicate splendor of each musical strand as gently swaying violins blend with trumpets and various electronic emissions. I am left to freely soar with the wind and experience true joy as a child again. (CD)-Moser
