Past Light(more) »rank: 61842by: William Ackerman
: :Guitarist William Ackerman was still writing the book on the new age genre when this album came to light in the '80s, back when he operated the Windham Hill record label. You can hear many of the distinct, far-flung elements of the meditative, often-derided music mingling here in a somewhat pre-commercial state: classical, funk, folk, and more. Ackerman's guitar playing is often light as air, but his technique suggests a formidable aesthetic at work, rendering softness with expert, crafty precision. The slurpy electric bass on the opening track, 'Visiting,' doesn't do the rest of the album justice, especially the intricate, Tangerine Dream-style minimalism ... |

Songs From My Heart(more) »rank: 122005by: Esteban
:Album Description:'Songs From My Heart' is Esteban's lyrical and spontaneous interpretations of romantic popular songs that he has always felt close to. Each was recorded 'live' in order to capture the feeling that so permeates Esteban's music. His 'on the spot' improvisational skills learned from years of flamenco playing, combined with his exacting classical studies with Segovia, render a unique blend of heartfelt music that is pure joy to the ear. Enjoy!! |
