Ah . . what a romantic you are, Mr. GingerTom . . This story could be sub-titled, "Shanghaied!" and is a major adventure Involving lots of drama, with text and music conveying the perils of an over-abused sailor, who's name I do not know, . . . but I can see his young intense face . .. pale blue eyes searching the horizon for some escape, pursed lips indicating an inner focus and strength . . . a downturn to his features betraying his sorrow .. . a furrow to his brow laying out the roadmap to his worries, and yet a straightness in his spine showing courage and determination . . . The music dances thoughtfully with the words of the story, telling us more of the tale of this shipwrecked sailor, while sharing the fragrances of his heart, his love evident in all he does . .. his compass is turned towards the one who captured that great big heart . . . this protagonist seems to be always trying to find the way home from some misadventure or other . . . From demanding violin strings in "The Stagger Dance," to twangy guitar strings in the melancholic "Who Will Mend My Broken Heart," to the pretty yet powerful piano of "Into The Sea," and the cello and calling voices of "Lament For A Lonely Lady," ending with the heart pounding piano of "Lost Love By Moonlight" where another near disaster was narrowly diverted . . . the music carries us along with the story and gives us insight into the narrative and the mood of the hero and Dahna, his lady . . . Regarding "Progressive Looping": I have been given to understand that a large number of musicians on Jamendo create their music with loops and samples. As I have mentioned before, if you want to make your music with a kazoo in a shower and the music appeals to me . .. it is good. I have never cared about other people's opinions . . those belong to those other people . . . my opinions belong to me . . . I, personally, appreciate this music because its like making a patchwork quilt .. .. moving pieces of music around and fitting them together . . . making a vision out of your music is not easy . . and making it attractive is definitely not easy. And then adding all those final touches that give it that extra personality . . that undefined aspect that is the signature sound of the musician .. . .is the final piece . . . and in my opinion shows an accomplished artist . . . and this musician does a beautiful job . . . The whole album has enormous appeal . . . and as I said before, after enjoying the story as if it were a play . . . with the characters appearing in the active brains of the listener, the music is also excellent to let play just to enjoy as a musical interlude for a relaxing moment . . . and of course . . . I want to thank GingerTom for his kind dedication to me and Carybe . . . I was very surprised and also touched . . . Hey, GT, I hope you know that I would have listened to it anyway . . . I always look forward to your latest album . . I really love your productions . . .

Música muy profunda que me ha llegado al alma ...!! místico y sensual en un ambiente muy poético .. felicidades al autor ..!!!

Let´s not forget, that this album is just half of the story and that there's a story going along with it. And its important to keep that in mind, because I believe that it exerts an important role as a guide line. The story is not exhaustive and conveniently serves as a background to each track and in a first instance, also suits the purpose of stimulating our musical appetite. Some adequacy is undeniably recognizable and even considering the diversified set of tracks as a whole, a general sense of homogeneity, can still be deducted. The choice of the sounds... or instrumental sonorities... are well done and even get to produce some quite delicious moments, even quite contrasting, yet, without showing no noticeable discrepancies. The capacity of musical construction achieved a very good level and is structurally remarkably acceptable, with a minor repair on the track "Who Will Mend My Broken Heart", where some sounds... which are inherent to the hand movement over the cords of an acoustic guitar... produce unwittingly and because of the structural and characteristics of the work, one or other adverse effect. To denote also a very good sense of musicality and capacity of composition or structuring. Summing... I think that overall, it's a stimulating musical experience, with a captivating atmosphere, soundly diversified and filled with delightful details... ... and don't you even dare to think for a second, that the dedicatory has had any effect over this review... do you read me?... just imagine... me, nagging? Thank you. Obs: I strongly recommend the downloading, for a proper listening and evaluation, since the on line experience is quite poor.

Straordinario anche questo part2....second flower in the wind..

De bons tempos, mais un peu trop de mélanges dans les morceaux.

Ah, j'aimerai tant un best of des parties de guitare acoustique superbes !
