The Music And The Mirror

Few orchestra conductors from the great German school of conducting carved out quite such a niche for themselves as Carl Schuricht. This Polish-born German invented a clear, almost objective style of conducting, based on fast tempos and flexible, but cleanly articulated orchestral playing that became known over…

New Wave / Synth Pop

Rejecting the abrasive guitars of their punk-era contemporaries in favor of lushly romantic synthesizers, ULTRAVOX emerged as one of the primary influences on the British electro-pop movement of the early '80s. Formed in London in 1974, the group – originally dubbed ULTRAVOX! – was led by vocalist and keyboardist John Foxx (born Dennis Leigh), whose interest in synths and cutting-edge technology began during his school years; with an initial line-up consisting of bassist Chris Cross, keyboardist/violinist Billy Currie, guitarist Steve Shears and drummer Warren Cann, their obvious affection for the glam rock sound of David Bowie and Roxy Music brought them little respect from audiences caught up in the growing fervor of punk, but in 1977 Island Records signed the quintet anyway, with Brian Eno agreeing to produce their self-titled debut LP.

Runestone is perhaps one of the last, great new age bands out there. Their music is melodic, thought provoking keyboard compositions. If you like old Yanni, David Arkenstone and such artists, then this cd is for you. When everyone else jumped on the commercial band wagon and started adding all of the Middle Eastern and jazz influences to their music.. Runestone stayed true to form with what this kind of music was meant to be all about. Some of their albums are a bit more mellow and relaxing, but these guys have some exellent albums that are sure to satisfy the die hard new age music fan.

'Hewitt's playing is equally representative of her general approach to his music. Her touch is amazingly light, incredibly crisp and alert to the possibilities afforded by the piano' (Gramophone)

Bug Music is a tribute to the music of the Raymond Scott Quintette, the John Kirby Sextet and Duke Ellington, headed by the remarkably versatile clarinetist Don Byron. Raymond Scott's legendary compositions feature eccentric song titles (including, on this set, "Siberian Sleighride," "Tobacco Auctioneer" and "War Dance for Wooden Indians"), complex and thoroughly composed arrangements ~ AllMusic
