Mark Dwane is criminally underrated in my opinion. 'Paradigm Shift' is a multilayered compositional masterpiece in every respect, and up there with the best releases from electronic keyboard masters like Vangelis and Patrick O'Hearn. I hear many exotic influences in his music, including oriental and middle eastern themes. Superb work!

This CD is actually out and in circulation and as of late 1998 Mark has an even newer, limited release CD out called "The Nefilim", which is also well worth a listen.

Mark's fourth CD effort takes him into more compositionally complex and dynamic terrain. He mixes the lushness of the first three, with newer structure in the tunes. After his best CD, Angels... this might be next, but the standards he has set for himself are so high that in the hands of another artist, this would rank higher. That's how talented he is.

This installment by Mark Dwane takes us on a more complex and dynamic ride with lots of variation in it. Here he seems to be on top with his creativity, not only theme wise but also melody wise. Becasue this is one of those discs that contains some incredibly lush sound structure and melodies that they will get stuck in your head for a long after the disc has closed, and you will feel mesmerized by it's sound and get back to it very soon again.

To me, Mark is one of the most creative & unique composers in the genre of Electronic/New Age music, and make no mistake, if you have heard his other CD's then you simply must own this disc aswell. Every song on here is a winner and will make you want more of the same!

Check it out! You'll miss something very interesting if you don't....
