"... Lazy tempos are the escort through a
bustling marketplace to find the magic carpet
that will ride a samiel of elegant
guitar lines, across clouds plump
with synth wizardry, towards a glorious
e-Bow coloured sunset. Not to be mistaken for
"smooth" nor "quiet storm", this is quality
Ambience for the jazz mind..." -- Julian Derry,

A hard-driving journey across musical borders. A ritually evoked thunderstorm above the African plains sets the mood. The electronic flugelhorn soars above rolling percussion, pounding bass and resonant synthesizers, describing an ancient, symbolic landscape. Chanted voices weave in and out as sinuous guitar lines roll across the sonic plains of a Prior World.

A remix that skips most of the spacy introduction and gets right to the heart of the matter. This tune has been called a more electronic version of Pat Metheny. |

From out of a mist, the pulsing Latin beat propels music inspired by John McLaughlin’s early work on Miles In a Silent Way and his own My Goal’s Beyond. Gorgeous synthesizers surge and wash over echoing, responsive guitars and low, rumbling bass as they chase each other through the rhythmic night. This is a short-format remix for radio.

Country and Eastern music, with a nod towards Brian Eno’s luscious and expansive, “Apollo” sound score. A loping space-cowboy melody cascades along with charged electric country guitar, growling bass and clustered acoustic guitar, passing back and forth between cloud-washes of synthesizers. |
