notes

day breaks and the sun follows.
the moon rests and
the sea lives.
its beaches breathe its life as its shores give.
the water plays a rhythm on the sand,
each grain dances for an instant with the tide
then rests.
the sun shines
and the wind blows its melody from the hills
through the trees and down the streets.
the rain comes. the drums of life play.
the sea moves and the scene is set.
the voices of coast towns speak, sing, laugh, pray.
the sun shines again,
life sings. divine is the music
the sea keeps time. sand and water.

  • dream-like, an album for all times: day, night, work or play
    author: marwa

    Besides the oceanic imagery and other-worldly mood the music evokes, the best thing about this album is its lack of intrusiveness on the listener's thoughts. It is dream-like in that it plays on your imagination without disrupting whatever it is you are engaged in; whether it be working, writing, hanging out with some friends or anything else. The accompanying poetry/prose is a beautiful added touch, bringing the music to life while directing the listener's imagination. This album is one of my favorites to work to. An excellent addition to any music lover's or thinking person's collection. I give it four stars only because: 1) the acoustic/natural sound of the "electronic instruments" seems forced at times and 2) the track titled misterioso seems to be misplaced -- evoking the Far East, rather than the Mediterranean.
