Tracks like "Blue Sky" and "Sedona" are steeped in the vastness of the American Southwest, with gently echoing solos summoning the spirit of Native American flutes. A highlight is "Red Guitars," which creates an aural river of cascading acoustic ... Full Descriptionenergy. There's an Asian twist to the Flamenco-style guitar on "Destiny," while Wollo's Norwegian sense of irony comes to the fore in all-acoustic covers of Kraftwerk's "Computer Love" and "In the Hall of Mirrors." Other nice touches include the bouncing percussion of "Moving" and "Rain Tree"'s ominous clouds of swirling guitar arpeggios. Whether for meditation, massage, or deep headphone voyaging, this is an album that gently parts the mist of time to reveal the lovely, endless vistas within.
Norwegian composer Erik Wollo returns to the New Age guitar sound that made his GUITAR NOVA such a success, with this follow-up to 2003's more ambient EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPE. Some of that album's glistening mystery lingers here (especially on the closing track, "Timeless"), but the guitars are back in full force.
Personnel: Erik Wollo (acoustic 12-string guitar).

Red Sky, Blue Guitars album
$9.69 This is a lovely set of highly moving ambient pieces with shades of rock, jazz, and classical thrown in for good measure. A veritable one-man show, Erik Wollo plays electric and acoustic guitars as well as synthesizers, and he also composes, arranges, produces, and programs. "Metaphor" features spooky interplay between weeping electric guitar and lonely gusts of wind, while "Prism" sounds like a typewriter struggling to compose underwater. Though some of the pieces are dissonant and reminiscent of space music, they aren't cold or distant, rather they contain plenty of emotional, melancholic elements. "Sounds of the Seen" begins with pretty cello melodies (courtesy of guest Liv Frengstad) that grow into complicated electronic passages until they vanish into crowd noises ...
| | Gandalf Between Earth And Sky CD (2003)
Red Sky, Blue Guitars CD music
$13.39 Sweeping and cinematic, this collection captures the gentler side of Austrian composer Gandalf's prog, world, New Age style. Sounds of the auld Europe and the far East meld together in "Echoes from Ancient Dreams" with synths and mellotron conjuring up symphonies of strings and strange swooping birds before giving way to treated vocals and soaring electric guitar. The sound of a single hit of the klavé guides "The Blessing" and "Stardust Dreams" as acoustic guitar and Peter Aschenorenner's dreamy flute move in unison down a river that conjures emotions nostalgic, romantic, and meditative all at once. Harpsichord and chimes add an element of simple majesty in "Peaceful Heart" while the simple, heartbreaking piano line in "Along the Milky Way" serves as a reminder that the ache of romantic loss is timeless and inescapable, even into the farthest realms ...
