"Digital Nights" presents a majestic musical soundscape that definitely fits into the "journey" category, where the ethnic rhythms are integrated into the more contemporary electronica motifs to startling effect. The variety of sounds and styles attained is quite remarkable and the overall feel is one of excitement and anticipation as the listener is taken on a dazzling musical trek that'll leave your head spinning, but also hitting the replay button to go round again.
Rhythms are the order of the day here, verging from electronica to rock to tribal rhythms and back again. But there is also some wonderfully delicate and hauntingly atmospheric work too, all held together by the superb musicianship of those involved. There are some terrific themes that'll have you humming the tunes long after the music has faded into space, and with one song flowing seamlessly into another, both albums have an epic feel about them that brings to mind some of the best contemporary thematic albums in both the electronic and the prog rock genres in the past 25 years.

The second release by newcomer Ramsaygee is as exiting and diverse as the first. Once again, a varied rhythmic palette is presented that has interesting and catchy world drum and percussion influences both electronic and real. Guitars and vocal textures are again sprinkled with care as the musical vistas remind us of other cultures, and the wide variety of styles has a sense of excitement and journeying to far off lands.
Ramsaygee imbues his creations with strong themes and catchy melodies that are sometime gentle, other times epic and always engrossing. But there is also a strong sense of drama in some of the works and some engrossing atmospherics. Everything is held together by superb keyboard work by Ramsaygee and the excellent musicianship of everyone else involved. The interlinking tracks give a strong contemporary, thematic feel to the album and like the first album, "Exotique" is a unique and original offering.
Ramsaygee Bio
Born in 1973, RamsayGee grew up in South Africa in a musical family, singing parts in arranged four part harmonies at many prestigious functions from an early age, including a television series called "Sing with us" produced and directed by his mother for the S.A.B.C. The Musical interest in his household was very diverse, which led him to grow with a very broad interest in many musical genres. However, the serious interest in music production only began to evolve many years later.
After matriculating at the school of Art, Ballet , Music and Drama in Johannesburg (where he began his schooling in art), he went on to study Drama through Trinity College of London and obtained his Associate (A.T.C.L.) in Drama teaching. Prior to that, he had been very involved in performing on stage, playing lead roles in a few plays and chorus parts with a couple of productions staged by P.A.C.T. which also lead him to perform at the famous Grahamstown Festival. Half way through his last year at college he landed a chorus role in the production of "Me and My Girl" which was staged by the original West End director and choreographer. He then went on to perform in one last show in South Africa, Richard Loring's "We'll Meet Again" at the Midrand Soundstage, a musical show based on the songs of veteran war entertainer Vera Lynn.
Aside from many years of DJ gigs and live singing, RamsayGee has been involved in music production and song writing, collaborating with many artists. Formally the vocalist for two rock bands, he also performed next to Maz Palladino (former backing vocalist for artists like Paul Young and Sting) in Motown Magic which was staged at Twickenham Rugby stadium.
He has also co written many pieces with his brother who runs the Groove Academy for the Learning of Music development for the youth in in late 2008, one of the songs they co-wrote was performed by the Academy in a special guest appearance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Being interested in diverse cultures and their common language of music, and lending many inspirations from daydreams and western and eastern folk music alike, he has experimented and attempted to paint the visionary images that he sees in his mind, to communicate through technology as accurately as possible, the feeling and images and to journey through the auditory senses, to another place. He attempts the same journey through digital art
