Piero Scaruffi's review of:

THE ETERNAL NOW
Richard Bone

     Bone's schizophrenic musical persona keeps alternating collections of electronic pop songs and futuristic, ambient symphonies. The Eternal Now is the ideal continuation of Ambiento. Two extended suites, Zone e The Millenium Pages, belong to a psychological variant of the ambient, drone-oriented movement, whereby Klaus Schulze's "kosmische musik" intersects Brian Eno's static non-music. Pages harks back to medieval, renaissance and baroque music with a post-modern attitude. Zone may well be his masterpiece. The first movement's chilling suspence, the second movement's celestial tune, the third movement's thin dissonant filigree, the fourth movement's sinister, operatic voices, the fifth movement's robotic cadences and the sixth movement's pastoral melodrama build up a logical treatise on the human condition that all but disappears in the sustained drone of the finale.
