The title of this CD is 'Butterflies and Fairytales'- and it is the additional element in the title that reminded me of Malevich's theory of the "additional element". He suggests that this accounts for the evolution and transformation of style in painting - and of course, this CD is has a classical style painting on the CD sleeve (front and back). I believe that the CD both artistically packaged and musically produced is a modification of the previous Galaxy Girl productions, through the absence or the presence of a visual, perceptual, element. Jeannette Claudine is absent on the main vocals on tracks two to four. Depending on one's imagination, the change in track production - multi tracks with collaboration - indicates a perceptual evolution in the Galaxy Girl musical progression. This is a break down in previous perceptions of listening found on "Tranceatlantic Love", as it is a reconstruction of sound into dance tracks and trance tracks, that reflects the consciousness of Galaxy Girl in her apparent absence - and then later intimately in her presence. Nikolai Kulbin - concerning the development of consciousness in art - once said, "We the cells of living Earth, fulfill her desires, but we don't hear her voice". Like a fairytale this CD will stimulate the imagination; but like a fairytale it needs to be illustrated to occupy lofty themes and landscapes in the visual memory of one's imagination. Rather than entertain today's popular dark Gothic music themes and sleeve art packaging, we find in this CD product, something to get the demon's out of the system. The package appears like a popular greeting card throughout history - the 'jeunes homnes'- famous beauties. Depicted here as hope, a promise, and of course beauty. The music is reflective of the art, in as much as contemporary universal melodic trance music is reflecting an art tradition - and the innocence is not persecuted (as we see in much music production) - l'innocence persecutee - but rather it mingles with other worlds and shimmers with the light of nature. These are then memory worlds of multidimensional; like a childhood passing, as in a dream. In the collaborative element, one is giving thanks to these other worlds. Galaxy Girl defines her memories as the beauteous things that she can forget with. The figure on the sleeve art appears to be Juno - who suckled the infant Hercules. This is how the edge of the galaxy is said to have developed - by Hercules sucking on Juno's breast. The galaxy 'then' was not known as a way or a road; but a river in the sky. On the back cover, I believe the art focuses attention on 'le rose di Guinone' - Juno's rose. Her face is like the milky way in the sky - a meeting of gentle lights without name. Crashaw, described this as, "heaven of such floods as this, heaven the crystal ocean is". The music reflects this as skies drift and skyways open up. Making one question where have I come from and where have I been? This is a CD with repeating beat sections that resonate parameters which invoke deep emotion after lengthy listening. In this respect Jeannette could offer a masterful lengthy work, having - I believe - to have already mastered the trance genre. Perhaps a major work is in progress, and this needs some support. The universal melodic trance is also layered with some light dance tracks - seven tracks within the theme of love and belonging. Not particularly carnal, this CD features a collaborative vocalist on track 2, giving satirical treatment to cyber love and any other conceived notion of sex with a machine or piece of technology. Tracks 5, 6, and 7, then tend to emerge as galactic love songs, with track 5 given a light dance rhythm, textured with classical Spanish treatments with superb effect. Jeannette Claudine's presence on main vocals in these final tracks of the CD enables a progressive musical theme to be stated within the promises that the songs are making, and the questions and hopes that underlie their beauteous thematic repose for me as listener. I would like to know Jeannette Claudine's birthday date and year for this little effort - but more significantly to emphasize my 2009 selection of trance music listening (part of an eclectic selection with Claudine as a major listening focus), I would like to hear a major work of hers in the not too distant future. I am certain it would be one of the very best in this music genre (or for her other musical or art genres too) of which I know she can deliver.

On receiving my Galaxy Girl CD, 'Butterflies and Fairytales', I first observed that the title was comprised of two elements - giving the title something to explore, along with the classical painting adorning the front, back and inner sleeves of the packaging. In Malevich's theory of the 'additional element', he tried to account for the evolution and transformation of style in Russian painting. In this recording, a modification of previously released Galaxy Girl material as in Malevich's theory, is expressed through the presence or absence of a perceptual element - the art is present rather than a biological photograph of Galaxy Girl; and likewise in the tracks recorded here, there is a presence or absence of Galaxy Girl as the main vocalist. What is indicated in art as 'perceptual evolution', is probably true in this CD as well. It is like a breaking down of the perception of the theme contained in former Galaxy Girl recordings - which are long playing trance/ambient universal melodies in a string of the consciousness of Galaxy Girl herself based on her superb use of electronic arpeggio layering and beat sections. Not unlike previous recordings, the resonant parameters shaping the melodies invoke a deep emotional state (as a lengthy listening experience) in this CD recording; however, the tracks are not very lengthy. Nevertheless, the use of collaborating musicians on lead vocals for tracks 2, 3, and 4, reconstruct an interesting listening experience. The developing consciousness of Galaxy Girl is very similar to that of developing art generally. Nikolai Kulbin once said, "We, the cells of living Earth, fulfill her desires, but we don't hear her voice". Allowing for collaborative perceptual musical theme construction in this CD, seems to govern independent thought concerning the form color and sound of the recording from start to end (one assumes a continuing theme though). Like a fairytale the music melody and lyrics invokes the imagination. Even as fairytales need illustration, this music also, is constructed to occupy lofty themes and landscapes in the visual memory of a galactic theme of hope, longing, oneness, and beauty. However, unlike the theme of the persecution of innocence found in lesser themes, L'innocence persecutee is is not 'present', but rather mingles with other worlds and shines with the light of nature. These are memory worlds of multidimensional capacity - somewhat like childhood passing in a dream. Collaboration then, in this instance reveals gratitude for these 'other worlds', as it introduces the final tracks, 5, 6, and 7, as a girl present in the main vocals, who defines her memories as beauteous things, she can 'forget' with. The figure depicted in the art is said to be a portrait of Jeannette Claudine; however, i also see Juno in this - although Hercules is not present, suckling at her breast. It is said that this is how the 'edge of the galaxy' was formed, and became known as the Milky Way - a river in the sky. On the back of the CD, one might be seeing, 'Le rose di Guinone' or 'Juno's rose. The portraiture's face is like the milky way was in the sky - a meeting of gentle lights without name, as Crashaw puts it, "heaven of such floods as this, Heaven the Crystal Ocean is". Jeannette Claudine has mastered the genre of Universal melodic trance and i would expect that a very major work will follow on this 2009 recording. I stand by this artist's endeavors and encourage others to look forward to a great work from Jeannette Claudine Romeu. I would also like to know Jeannette's birthday date and year as well as more of this music of hope, longing, and beauty, that makes me question what I have come to, and where I am from. Superb effects here in track 5, as a light dance piece with a layering of acoustic Spanish guitar rhythm treatment. I give the recording five stars for encouragement in the hope of even more masterful works.
