Music reviews of Myths and Legends
Music Review: Glad I bought this used!
Rating: 1 Stars
Glad I bought this used. The 3 disc set sounds nice but not really necessary. Disc 1 is music only. Disc 2 requires a second CD player and speaker, like a boom box. I don't know about other people, but I'm not inclined to go to the trouble to even listen to the second disc. Disc 3 is a DVD with nothing really genuinely worth watching.
The music has a few Arkenstone moments but nothing that we've not heard before; and, frankly I'm getting tired of the Celtic pieces - Arkenstone is much more creative than that.
Description of Myths and Legends
Historical first - includes "Magical Bonus CD" and a full length DVD including interviews with David Arkenstone and director Johnny Wilson. "An amazing magical three disc set with a unique and unprecedented twist." The second magical CD is designed to be played simultaneously with the "Myths and Legends" CD and contains supplemental ambient textures, layered melodic material, sound effects and sonic encoding designed to transform each listening experience into a personal journey of discovery over unique multiple listening's.Renowned visionary David Arkenstone holds the key to a secret centuries old, made of magic and mystery, of Myths and Legends. A place that exists all around us and within our hearts, minds, and souls. The key to this secret lies within the musical textures, layered melodic material, and sonic encoding contained herein. Each playing offers a personal journey of discovery unlocking a hidden door bringing light into our world. Supplemental textures of this three disc Audio Visual Connect Series(tm) transform and mold each listening experience into a singular unique event, never to be duplicated again. You now hold the key in your hand, it is time to unlock the door!
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
