Add to Shopping Cart | Peter Miller - From a Distant Shore | Review, tracklist, & music samples

Peter Miller, a guitarist with a varied style of tapped and swept harmonics to 'metronomic' like thumbed bass lines with flurries of higher notes. Peter has said, 'I love the screaming solos of an electric guitar they're great fun, but there is something about the acoustic guitar that comes from the heart'.

Louise Bell's first CD release, completed in July 2006, features her self-composed harp pieces. "Originally finding my way to the harp as part of a music healing course called Sound Medicine, the value of music as an agent of transformation for players and listeners informs my approach to performing. The impulse of this collection is subtle shifts within sustained moods." Louise Bell.

The new release from West Australian guitarist Simon Fox is an excellent CD of pure acoustic guitar music. One for the connossieur!. This collection of 14 tunes explores everything from Celtic to ambient candle-burners, frailing clawhammer picking to bluegrass. This release lays the steel-string guitar bare, unaccompanied and compelling.

Add to Shopping Cart | Anthony McGloin - Nightflight | Review, tracklist, & music samples

Anthony McGloin's Nightflight is a sparkling guitar journey, relaxedly flowing through the sounds of sixties and seventies pop as well as original compositions, all played with a virtuosity that can barely be fathomed. - JH , 2005

Add to Shopping Cart | Tony Gorman - Songs Of Hope | Review, tracklist, & music samples

This is an album of intensely beautiful and meditative music on clarinet from Tony Gorman - this is sparse, dreamy, immaculate, drifting music with great power. "The long, beautiful notes ooze from the instrument, then hang reverberating in the air, as if to further emphasise their emotional power. Multiphonics are frequently employed to profound effect, fleshing out each of Gorman's tales, which carry such reflective titles as Live With the Sea in My Dreams, Country Winds and Unfulfilled Dreams. Fans of Jan Garbarek will be among those likely to be mesmerised." review by John Shand, for "Limelight" June 2004

The third CD from renowned Australian instrumentalist Cary Lewincamp.

Add to Shopping Cart | Cary Lewincamp - Under The Same Moon | Review, tracklist, & music samples

A remarkably peaceful album of solo guitar pieces, by a player with a growing international reputation for his work. The mood overall is meditative and melodically developed, even intricate. Melody and harmony lines weave beautifully in Lewincamp's pieces.
