"Hollywood Flower" by Daniel Guy Martin (Instrumental Artist from Canada)

Award-winning guitarist Daniel Guy Martin returns with "Hollywood Flower," another stellar album of instrumental guitar compositions that simply defy categorization. Part New Age-like spontaneity, part pure jazz improvisation, Martin's explorations result in melodic and accessible tunes that are nevertheless completely satisfying. Album opener, "Beautiful Cold Feet," reflects the composer's New Age influences with a solemn, introspective melody, while title-track, "Hollywood Flower," delves the guitarist's jazz instincts with equal finesse. Elsewhere, "It's Up To You" offers a more sprightly invocation of the guitarist's songcraft, with Martin displaying a dexterity on his acoustic guitar that belies the seeming ease of its performance. An album for fans of New Age music, Daniel Guy Martin's "Hollywood Flower" album is a must-hear for fans of intricate and eclectic instrumental guitar improvisations.

"Illusions" by Terry Lynn Tschaekofske (Instrumental Artist from Utah(UT))

Terry Lynn Tschaekofske and his debut solo album, "Illusions," is a collection of songs in which he lets his expert guitar playing be placed center stage. The album is recorded using a variety of guitars; numerous types of sublime electric and acoustic sounds are featured on different tracks, yet on each track Terry is not accompanied by other instruments at all. He wants the listener to calmly take in the subtle and nuanced sounds of his prized instrument. On the song, "Who Was She," we hear an electric guitar slowly croon a love song. The song "Santa Cruz Lady," features an acoustic guitar employing a more upbeat sound with a slight blues influence. On the track, "Inamorata Mirage," we hear Terry's smooth double picking as he plays what comes off as a pleasing antiquated melody. This album is wonderful for relaxing and reflective moments; when one is curled up by the fire or to have playing nicely in the background for a family BBQ. If you enjoy tranquil yet talented music or simply are a fan of instrumental guitar compositions than "Illusions" is an album that you would enjoy hearing.

"Let's Spend the Day Together" by A.M. (Electronic Artist from Ontario, Canada)

Billing its sound as "Electro-acoustic party music," A.M.'s latest CD, "Let's Spend the Day Together" is all that and more. Not to be confused with American singer-songwriter AM, this Toronto-based performer has assembled an album that is well crafted with electronic soundscapes, "found sounds", samples, and last but not least, sheer sonic invention, that is as intriguing as it is musically satisfying. Tying the project together are real-life samples provided by people from all over the world, intended to represent a "snapshot of a day in the life of humankind." It's a concept that unfolds with the ease and naturalness only an accomplished musician / DJ could pull off. Weaving these samples throughout the album, the result is a combustible mix of instrumentals variously built on both synthesizer and acoustic instrumentation, alternately lush and lyrical, primal and orchestral. Each tune is crafted with a keen eye towards melody and dynamics, and utilizes chord and aural changes that keep the proceedings both fresh and forward moving. While A.M.'s latest CD, "Let's Spend the Day Together" is, in fact, an album perfect for a party / club setting, there is so much going on here that only multiple listens will render full appreciation, and ultimately reveal the depth of compositions and the superb musicianship of the artist and his collaborators.

"Harp of the Heart" by Theresa Tremmel (Instrumental Artist from Indiana(IN))

In this day and age, our lives are rushed and hurried from the hectic/stress of everyday living. One needs to have a time of serenity to release the mind of the worries of the day. Theresa Tremmel has just the right antidote with her tranquil and beautiful disc "Harp of the Heart." This soothing collection of tranquility, featuring her stunning gift on the harp, will leave you with repose of peacefulness. Tremmel lets the listeners feel the effects of the calming harp, as it is clean and crisp, while she performs with strong, heartfelt emotions. The titled track, "Harp of the Heart," not only instills a calm ambiance but the strings adorn the melody with harmonious formation. As her fingers gracefully move across the strings on "Sand and Sea," the glissando (the gliding over the strings) feels like the waves of the sea gently rolling in to shore. "Gateway" and "Calm Vista" display a warm, inviting piano accompaniment which balances well with the melodious harp. If you need a little down time or just want to hear some soft and peaceful music, then "Harp of the Heart" will bring you to the place of rest and relaxation.
