QUEST OF THE DREAM WARRIOR: Kyla’s Journey Ref: RWM2137

David Arkenstone

“We have come to expect a standard of excellence from synthesiser artist Arkenstone, whose album In The Wake Of The Wind received a Grammy nomination. Here, he exceeds those expectations, offering listeners a rich, exciting musical adventure to accompany an epic-style fantasy he co-wrote with science fiction author Mercedes Lackey. The exquisite and thrilling music, played by an eight-piece orchestra, tells the story of a female warrior learning to use her special gifts. We can read the story in the enclosed booklet and follow her progress on the large fold-out map, but it is the stunning music that stirs the imagination and the heart. Sometimes a new chapter in the journey begins with a sweet, simple melody on strings, then transforms into pulsating rhythms that build to a crescendo that dies out with an agonising wail from Arkenstone's electric guitar.” - NAPRA Review.

STRAIGHT TO YOU Ref: RMA032

Brian Hughes

'Canadian guitarist extraordinaire Brian Hughes’ third solo recording invokes the classic snappy fingerstyling of the legendary Pat Metheny and Wes Mongomery as it weaves a seductive synthesis of Latin, Brazilian, Middle Eastern and funky blues rhythms into an exciting jazz framework. Originally released independently last year on Hughes’ own Sylvan House label, this eclectic collection is certain to mark his return to the upper reaches of instrumental airplay and sales charts, a position his first two releases, 1990’s “Between Dusk and Dreaming” and 1992’s “Under One Sky” - achieved effortlessly. “Straight To You,” which kicks-off with a fluid electric breeze over the funky, rock/blues beat of ‘Soul Fruit’ and the festive tropicality of the bright, brassy ‘Pica,’ featuring extraordinary chemistry between Hughes and pianist Les Portelli. Flamenco meets Middle Eastern exoticism on ‘Andalusian Night,’ and later, Hughes takes us through the rolling Brazilian lilt of ‘Sesimbra Sun.’ On “Straight To You,” Hughes digs deep into his multi-faceted musical heart to create a finely woven, magical, melodic landscape that combines the guitarist’s natural affinity for contemporary jazz with his uncanny flair for world music, rock and blues.
