The New Zealand noise group known as Gate is the guise of one man, Michael Morley, guitarist with the post-punk/noise rock group Dead C. Throughout the '90s he produced a string of trance-inducing drone rock albums on the Table of the Elements label that present simplistic songs inside clouds of feedback and static noise drone. If the opening track shocks with its blatant sampled use of the Rolling Stones you will soon have forgotten the jab of humor and be engulfed in a drone guitar texture that sustains through the entire album, culminating in a cover version of Faust's "Jennifer" that is almost unrecognizable. Similarities to his full-time group Dead C are apparent thanks to his voice and guitar sound, although the album resembles a somewhat less brutal incarnation of the group and works with massive walls of guitar noise that are close to Sonic Youth or My Bloody Valentine. ~ Martin Walters

| | Enigma Cross Of Changes CD (1994)
Monolake music CDs
$11.39 On THE CROSS OF CHANGES, Enigma delves into the mystic with a musical fervor that transcends sampling technologies and popular dance beats. THE CROSS OF CHANGES is a serene yet supremely sensual musical synthesis that might best be characterized as new age hip-hop. Enigma's worldwide hit MCMXC A.D. was notable for, among other things, its use of Gregorian chants as samples in a heady techno mix, which inspired such delirious interest in this ancient music that The Benedictine Monks Of Santo Domingo De Silos are currently enjoying their own Top 10 hit--CHANT.
With THE CROSS OF CHANGES, Enigma's auteur Michael Cretu has merged a series of chants and simple devotional lyrics into a smooth techno-psychedelic wall of sound that is, in contemporary terms, a synthesized flipside to the techno-pop dance grooves of groups like Ace Of Base. Apples and oranges? Certainly, but both groups do employ texture and repetition to particular advantage in a pop context. However, where Ace Of Base finds nirvana in the incantory rhythms of reggae and the classic textures of old-fashioned analog synthesizers, Enigma extracts their hypnotic rhythms and textures from a variety of Eastern sources--at times evoking ...

| | Winter's Solstice, Vol. 6 CD (1997)
Monolake album
$8.29 This installment of the Winter Solstice series presents an of winter-themed recordings. In addition to usual Windham Hill artists such as George Winston and Liz Story, there are appearances by Marion Meadows, Todd Cochran, Narada recruit David Arkenstone, and the quartet of Brian Keane, Michael Manring, Paul McCandless and Lew Soloff. Perhaps surprisingly, the lack of traditional holiday material only enhances this disc's appeal, as do the first-rate performances. Winter's Solstice Vl is more dynamic and less apt to fade into the background of a wintry eve. ~ Ross Boissoneau

| | George Winston Seasons: Piano Solos CDs (2005) With DVD; Bonus Tracks; Box Set
Monolake CD music
$31.89 George Winston, one of the most popular and best-selling New Age artists ever, is known for helping define a type of music (contemporary instrumental), a label (Windham Hill), and for paving the way for artists classified as "New Age" to crossover to pop, jazz, easy listening, and classical audiences. Among the most beloved of Winston's beautiful, reflective, solo piano releases are the albums AUTUMN, WINTER INTO SPRING, and SUMMER. For fans looking to possess these recordings under one cover, or for the initiate seeking a walloping dose of Winston's evocative musical world, SEASONS: PIANO SOLOS, a four-disc box set, is a blessing.

| | Mannheim Steamroller Fresh Aire II CD (1977)
Monolake music CDs
$10.09 All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.
Although the neo-classical instrumentals that Chip Davis produced as Mannheim Steamroller wouldn't really take off--commercially speaking, at least--until the early 1980s, his first efforts under that name were released several years earlier. FRESH AIRE II, the artist's sophomore release, came out in 1977, a sequel to his 1975 debut FRESH AIRE.
FRESH AIRE II is divided into two sections. The first offers treatments of medieval musical themes, which are varied via non-traditional instrumentation. The second focuses on moody, romantic piano compositions. There is more than a touch of prog-rock influence underlying ...
