Compassionizer — An Ambassador in Bonds
(Bandcamp no#, 2021, DL)

An Ambassador in Bonds Cover art

Ivan Rozmainsky’s Compassionizer returns with their second full length album, An Ambassador in Bonds. Unlike the dreary gothic atmosphere of their debut album, Caress of Compassion, An Ambassador in Bonds takes a more minimal approach to their neo-classical atmospheric music. Rozmainsky’s harpsichord playing features on a number of the tracks, bridging the past to the future. The ten instrumentals are a mixture of electric, electronic, and acoustic instruments, noticeably bass clarinet, clarinet, trumpets, and harpsichord. The music itself moves between neo-classical, jazz prog fusion, RIO, and ambience, quite an accomplishment! An Ambassador in Bonds is a metaphor for a person who carries out their mission in any area of creativity and faced with the challenge of overcoming different restrictions. If you enjoy non-trivial sophisticated music that defies description, be sure to check this one out.
