Reviews of our music

<... "Highland Sunrise" which opens with cascading crescendos of synth strings and a strummed guitar-like repeating refrain, taking turns with a gently lilting flute and lightly plucked harp notes. "Springtime," which starts the album off in fine fashion, blends birdsong with a more muted series of strummed acoustic guitar chords, playful bell tones that lively pepper the track with a sense of fun, and multiple piano and keyboards falling down the musical scales like a gentle sunshower...

...Silver Streams impressed me with its engineering and production (both of which are excellent) as well as the overall positive feeling that flows through the entire album. Songs like "Soaring" (well-titled for its sensation of gliding over hills and pastures on a sunny day, buoyed by air currents), "A Walk Through the Forest" (which derives its relaxed yet jaunty tempo from plucked harp strings) and the closing cut, "Distant Shores" (an uplifting finale but still in keeping with the mostly relaxed feel of the CD, not so much energetic as simply optimistic in feel) provide varied musical soundscapes which illustrate their titles, offering a more engaging view of nature-inspired music than is typically heard by yours truly.

For new age music fans who are eager to hear something besides the usual (albeit excellent) recordings from labels like New Earth, New World and Real Music, Silver Streams offers solid proof that independent artists can still create music in the genre that is of high quality and also offers something other than the norm... >
