On this album there are some recurring themes, a typical prog thing. What he does with a synth guitar, Vollenweider does with a transformedĪs Metheny he's a borderline artist unique in his genre. Many tracks also on this album can be compared to Pat Solar', it reminds more to a garden of fairies than to a dark forest full of evily creatures. More minor chords even though the feelings are mainly solarĪnd positive like on 'Dance Of The Masks', so that some magazines define Vollenweider asĪ new age artist, probably because he comes from a classical background and thisĪppears clearly at the first listen, plus the fact that his music is effectively 'positive and This 'Dancing with the Lion' is not very different. Printing wider tracks on the vinyl so to increase the quality of the sound. Somebody was saying that it was a technicalĬhoice. In the vinyl age they were just a bit too short. Good, with very skilled instrumentists a lot of guests and an excellent production,Īnd this is true for almost all his albums. So dark or 'storytelling' to give the possibility to build a story around it or even describe the Reviewing a Vollenweider's album is never an easy thing.
