Shapeshifters
 $13.49  
Synthesist David Arkenstone has been making inspiring, orchestrally enhanced new age concept recordings for years, and the tribal intensity of this ensemble -- helmed by him and his multi-instrumentalist wife Diane -- will happily surprise fans of that "other side." The concept here seems to be combining spacey, meditative, otherworldly electronic soundscapes with more organic and exotic tribal instruments to create a wild fusion. A dramatic piece like "Dance of Creation" -- which includes Diane Arkenstone's soaring wordless guttural cries, the swirling flutes of George Tottorelli, and even some urban house music -- may remind some listeners of Yulara, a duo that does a similar blending of new age and worldbeat elements. In line with the album title, the tune indeed induces a trance-like feeling. Other songs aren't quite as overwhelming; "Constellation Communication," for instance features jungly soundscaping, some spacey synth and percussion elements, and a soft flute and synth melody exchange, but all in the service of a more relaxed vibe. "Freedom of Movement" offers more of a floating effect combined with a Native American flavor. "The Jungles of Ashi Maaru" is even more subtle, with all of the sound effects and instruments at a distance from the dramatic tribal groove. If you're a fan of David Arkenstone, you'll like where he's headed with ...
| | Michael Hedges Aerial Boundaries CD (1985)
Shapeshifters
$7.59 
Michael Hedges is considered by many one of the most important innovators of the acoustic guitar. His total dedication to the acoustic guitar enabled him to develop a new approach to the instrument that transcended anything done before. He could sound like two--at times even three--guitarists playing at once, and his compositions drew on a wide variety of influences, from the earthy to the academic. While he is usually associated with the new age movement that flourished in the '80s and early '90s (having recorded on the flagship Windham Hill label), the reach of his music extends far beyond the drivel that the tag suggests.
AERIAL BOUNDARIES incorporates all the elements that characterize Hedges' music: astounding technique, innovative composition, and a spirit of exploration. Where many a musician with half of Hedges' ability would be prone to showboating, the guitarist seems to have thrown away the ...

| | Patrick O'Hearn Glaciation CD (2007)
Shapeshifters
$12.39
Patrick O’Hearn: Glaciation (self-released)It’s been awhile since a disc of ethereal, slow-moving instrumental music (this once would have been called “new age”) has captured my imagination like Patrick O’Hearn’s Glaciation has. Like the glaciers and icebergs that adorn the lovely CD package, these compositions have a spare, mysterious, other-worldly beauty. I mean to pay this release a high compliment when I note that some of this music recalls the most evocative work of Brian Eno, in the way O’Hearn places the instruments in different ambient fields and the way the tunes unfold so naturally and majestically. But far from being just a keyboard/synth workout, this features many other textures, from pulsing basses to electric Hawaiian guitar (recalling Eno’s gorgeous Apollo) to percussion. All in all, it’s a wondrous trip!— Mix magazine, January 2008Glaciation. Even the word sounds slow. It sounds cold, imposing, and something so much bigger than we can fully understand.For over 20 years, instrumentalist Patrick O’Hearn’s music, rooted primarily in keyboards and bass, has created soundscapes with his work. Following his turn as bassist for Missing Persons in the early 1980s, he ventured into a solo career that has shifted from New Age-lite, to dramatic soundtrack, to minimalist ambience.His latest, the first since 2005’s Slow Time, captures the largess of its title so aptly in noticeably smaller musical bites. Unlike Slow Time, whose songs seemed to meld into a scene, the music in Glaciation creates ...
| | Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD (1984)
Shapeshifters
$8.09
Also available in the CHRISTMAS COLLECTION box set with CHRISTMAS EXTRAORDINARE, A FRESH AIRE CHRISTMAS and CHRISTMAS IN THE AIRE.
Christmas 1984 is the first holiday album the Mannheim Steamroller released, and it remains their definitive work. Chip Davis never strayed from the clean, airy instrumental style that he exhibits here (and earlier perfected on his Fresh Aire albums), but it is here where it all sounded fresh. It's also where he had his best selection of songs, tackling a variety of classic carols like "Deck the Halls," "We Three Kings," "Good King Wenceslas," "Wassail, Wassail," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and "I Saw Three Ships." Some listeners never found the Mannheim formula that engaging, but anyone who his been captured by one of their holiday records should investigate Christmas 1984, which is where it all began. ~ Rodney Batdorf
