Press Reviews
earBuzz.com:
Mark D'Errico has assembled 8 instrumental keyboard based space age tunes on his latest record, "Out of Bounds". Mark combines guitar samples with keyboard/drum programming expertise to lay foundations and beds of soothing and thoughtful music. The CD starts with "Hood", a Jan Hammer influenced hard edged piece - with lead key sounds reminiscent of Vice. Track 3 is one of the highlights of the CD - the cut, "Oceans", is a slow modulating string/key bed that supports melody instruments like an arpeggiating piano to produce a trance like quality, similar to Floyd. The long mp3 here, "Love in the Mountains", begins with a full orchestra of keys - emulating the fullness of nature in the mountains. Track 7, "Silver River", is an easy moving relaxer with sampled acoustic guitar. The final track, "Out of Bounds", also the title track, is a ten minute exercise in panned keys lines, swelling horn beds, and quivering revolving leads - and each chapter moves effortlessly with musical transitions. Overall the CD is a relaxing science fiction instrumental new age mood - and we look forward to more.
