Music reviews of Altiplano
Music Review: More DeGrassi Magic
Rating: 5 Stars
I really like this album. It's a creative mix of new age, jazz/rock fusion, world music (complete with dueling Indian percussionists), and folk guitar tunes. Unlike his earlier works, DeGrassi's compositions here aren't built so much around the guitar. Several of the pieces feature other instruments and actually seem to use the guitar more for accompaniment. My favorite cut is McCormick, a solo alternate tuning piece with a heavy chorus effect that employs a contrapuntal approach to composition. The final piece - "MTY" - is reminiscent of Shadowfax and even uses their original violinist Jami Szmadzinski. Produced in 1987, this album was an obvious attempt by DeGrassi to explore the possibilities of acoustic guitar composition and arrangement. If you ask me, the exploration yielded very positive results.
