Music reviews of Myths & Legends
Music Review: Myths and Legends, David Arkenstone
Rating: 4 Stars
I love David Arkenstones work. He creates music that makes you feel like you're in a different world. In this particular CD the only thing I would have wished different is to remove the small amount of narration. I couldn't understand what he was saying, so it was a bit distracting. Otherwise it's great right-brain music. You easily lose yourself in it.
Description of Myths & Legends
* Myths and Legends weaves storytelling though a musical journey of Renaissance, Celtic, World, Middle Eastern, Asian, and Native American themes.* This package includes two bonus discs--one is a DVD that contains a video for each song from the album, and the second is a bonus CD engineered to be played simultaneously with the album disc, or independently as a stand-alone musical experience.
* Bonus CD Mysteries contains supplemental textures, layered melodic material, sound effects, and sonic encoding designed to transform each playing into a personal journey of discovery, over multiple unique listens.
Myths and Legends arrives 20 years after the release of Valley in the Clouds, David Arkenstone's still-mesmerizing debut recording, and the composer/multi-instrumentalist calls it "probably the most ambitious project I have ever attempted." Extras certainly abound here. Beyond a bonus DVD, which mingles nature images, animation, and a few campy videos, Myths and Legends includes a supplemental audio CD designed to be played simultaneously (on a separate system) with the main audio disc. Synching up two discs can be an unwieldy task, yet the effort yields an entertaining listening experience where the main disc is enriched by a wealth of sonic accents (roars, voices, rattles, and hums), giving Arkenstone's musical tales a deeper dimension. (The migration of electric guitar between the two discs during "Daughter of the Sun" provides some fun aural calisthenics.) So, is it great music or just a great gimmick? For fans attracted to Arkenstone's cinematic flourishes and storytelling reveries through sound, it's pleasant, usually interesting listening--another reminder that he remains a worthy contender for a major soundtrack project. Arkenstone adorns many compositions with Celtic, Middle Eastern, and tribal colors, and links many with a sense of spirited, seafaring swagger. His fondness for flutes sometimes softens his sound a touch too much, but at other times Arkenstone allows the cosmic winds to carry him to interesting, dynamic places (such as "Tree of Life"). --Terry Wood
