You will agree it's the best yet -- that is, the third release from Colorado keyboard-wizard
Davol, who is reminiscent of
Arkenstone,
Yanni and Burmer in compositional styles and his use of imaginative sounds.
Davol's original flair and style show influences ranging from
Debussy and
Jarre to
Vollenweider and
Tangerine Dream, yet remain distinctly his own. By introducing percussive elements and often full orchestration as bookends for his melodic compositions,
Davol uses nuances and details that lend a greater depth of expression in his music. Particularly effective are the introductory passages for many of the tracks, such as "Gates of Ishtar," "Caravan," and the wistful "Farthest Shore."
Davol is a true contender these days, and his electronic weavings continue to establish him as a major voice in contemporary music. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats
