5.0 out of 5 stars Dreamscapes and beyond !, January 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dreamscapes (Audio CD)

Phil Thornton always delivers albums with clear production values and subtle layering. this album is no exception.
What is out of character however is the variety of the content - most of his solo albums take a theme and expand on it for the duration ! On this occasion you will find many elements from previous albums coming together - Pastoral English countrysides, Egyptian, south American and African instruments, Native American flutes and other worldly synth and ebow guitar textures - the result is an exotic mix of the familiar and the unique - in my opinion this is his best album since his collaboration with Hossam Ramzy on the album -Immortal Egypt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb instrumental music, February 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dreamscapes (Audio CD)

A fantastic album of dreamy instrumental music. Somehow this album encapsulates alot of Phil Thornton's styles, as each track has a different feel - some ethnic, some romantic (the almost classical, piano-based feel of the last track), others drenched in flutes. The flutes really are to the fore in this recording; a few are played by Nigel Shaw. The production is top quality, clear, uncluttered, yet also full. Definitely one of his best works.

I heard "In Search of Avalon" on United Airlines as my introduction to Paul Thornton. I really enjoyed that song a lot so decided to purchase the CD. Cut 7 "Forest Pathways" lived fully up to my expectations for the CD. I prefer a little more melodic music than I found in most of the other cuts. I am glad I bought this CD but it won't be one I can play nonstop.
