The seminal electro-acoustic work Mysteries (I, II and III) created a musical landmark when it was first performed in 1974 at London's City University. Composer A.A.Owen had created a work of 'startling originality', quite unlike anything that had gone before: here was the dawn of a new age. The natural coming together of the various strands from his musical background - African music (he was raised in Africa), the Blues, and his rigorous classical training with the legendary French teacher Nadia Boulanger - gave the world a first glimpse of what is now called New Age Music. When you hear it, however, Mysteries simply defies categorisation. |

Following The Light can be truly seen as a masterpiece. It refuses to be pigeon-holed in any one genre; remarkably it has been included on both classical recordings with Debussy and New Age CDs with Keith Emerson. It is enough to say that Following The Light is simply a work of modern impressionism. Its transcendent beauty and cumulative power have moved all who have heard it. |

Us Girls was a labour of love for the multi-talented composer and musician A.A.Owen. It was a chance to write music for three singers whom he particularly admires. Sue Jones-Davies (actress and singer) is known the world over for her portrayal of the 'Welsh Tart' in Monty Python's 'Life of Brian'; she also starred in the long-running BBC series 'Rock Follies', 'Lloyd George' and 'Brideshead Revisited'. Bobby Barnwell is the lead singer from Ida Red and, in the opinion of many fans, Britain's number one female country singer. Anita Gabrielle was lead singer of Melody Maker Rock Contest-winning band The Crew, and later with the single's band Zenana, before becoming a widely respected singer-songwriter. |

Both movements of this beautiful music culminate in the same joyful climax. The gradual unfolding of the musical textures give this slow moving music an emotional sweep and depth that all who know A.A.Owen's work have come to expect. High Places is a truly soulful experience. |
