| | Erik Wollo Red Sky, Blue Guitars CD Erik Wollo Discography of CDs
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 energy. 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).

| | Judas Priest Painkiller CD (1990) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Red Sky, Blue Guitars
$6.79 Judas Priest's 1990 release, PAINKILLER, shows the band returning to ferocious metal after such musical detours as 1986's TURBO. It also proved to be the British band's last outing with original singer Rob Halford. Drummer Scott Travis (ex-Racer X) makes his Priest debut here, while the sound and songwriting is comparable to thrash/speed metal.
The album-opening title track is one of Priest's heaviest and greatest songs (brace yourself before it kicks in!), and the band takes no prisoners on such titles as "Hell Patrol" and "A Touch of Evil." An inspired way to close out Halford-era Priest.
At the dawn of the '90s, Judas Priest were in sad shape: out of touch, seemingly creatively bankrupt, coming off the two worst albums of their career, and left for dead by many observers. Trying to right the ship, Priest jettisoned longtime producer Tom Allom and his tinny '80s sound, as well as the serviceable groove drumming of Dave Holland, and brought in veteran metal producer Chris Tsangarides and onetime Racer X skinsman Scott Travis. Most importantly, though, Priest stopped trying to be a stadium act in the midst of hair metal's heyday. All those changes come into sharp focus as soon as the title cut of Painkiller starts -- Travis' thunderous (and crisp-sounding) percussive maelstrom lights an immediate fire under the bandmembers' asses; Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing ...
| | Erik Wollo Emotional Landscapes CD (2003)
Red Sky, Blue Guitars
$10.55 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 ...

Two veteran avant-gardists get together for a deceptively casual session and wind up with a contemporary jazz masterpiece--one reason being that Gil Evans and Steve Lacy were shrewd enough to choose superior ...
