Album description

"Wild and Free" is an instrumental compilation of various feelings. An invitation in the journey where the west and the east merge varied atmospheres with guitar for witness.
I qualify my music as Progressive-World-Rock because she wants to be free under her aspects without borders.
Wild, by the fact of composing like that comes by keeping the first inspiration.

"Colours of Life" is the fruit of an Internet collaboration between I and Philippe CHAVAROCHE author of Take The Bus Project who assured piano and synth parts.

Derek returns!

03/12/06

When I first found Jamendo, Derek's first album, On the Beach, caught my attention. It was actually the first album I downloaded. Today, it is the one I have shared the most times (share rating 5.591 as of today).

I have high hopes for this one, as well. The addition of the piano and synth was JUST what this album needed. "Colors of Life" is by far my favorite--a study in contrasts--gentle in parts, then powerful and raging, then a blizzard of melody, then reflective.

Further, I am, as always, amazed by Derek's pure and ringing guitar tone. Even his electric guitar has a vague sitarish air about it sometimes. When he switches to distortion mode, he preserves the singing tone quality of the instrument, without muddying the sound at all.

My only reservation is that this album is significantly shorter than his first. When listening, I get a sense I'm going someplace . . . perhaps traveling along with the artist through Asia and India . . . but the trip seems to end too soon. This could be the result of the collaboration. It is difficult to create a shared universe! But I can't wait for my next ticket to arrive.

(I'm burning your CD right now, man!)

J'aurais tendance à ahérer à la critique très positive de megadeve1, mais je vois tout de même 2 bémols: Ca manque de voix, et la pochette n'est pas du tout à la hauteur de la musique.
