Mother Earth

Released on December 18 2008, this album is the second public release from Windpearl.

A few words from the artist:

When I was in France, I wanted my next album to have some Asian influence. When I arrived in Asia, in China and in Thailand, the people’s behavior about their environment surprised me. There are plastic bags everywhere, beaches and rivers are polluted to a level you can’t imagine, the inhabitants throw their rubbish right where they stand without making the effort to move to the nearest trash bin. Nobody cleanses, nobody picks up the rubbish, nobody protects or respects the environment. It’s a very shocking and sad thing to see. This motivated me to release this album dedicated to our poor and bullied Earth, as well as all the living beings. Because the distress of the Earth is the distress of all of us. And because we tend to easily forget that Mankind and its 3 millions of years represent only 0.00067% of 4.5 billions of years, the age of the Earth!

This album is quite diverse in musical genres, but is mainly axed on electronic music. The influences are diverse, even classical: there are two songs played with a church organ (or pipe organ). The tracks are still quite “dark” in general, as people had noticed on our first album. So fans should appreciate this album also! And sorry for the others, but who knows, try listening to it and maybe you would change your opinion? We only have one wish, that we can make you feel our sorrow about the fate of our poor Earth.
