ichael spent several of his younger years playing in heavy rock and punk
bands. It's hard to believe after listening to the music found on his latest
release The View From Here.
This release is filled with just over one-hour of guitar instrumental music
that is about as far away from rock and punk music as you can get.
The eleven songs found on The View From Here are guitar instrumentals that
Michael calls, New Age Fingerstyle. The music brings words like calming,
relaxing, and mellow to mind.
The songs are simple, yet not simplistic. Each song paints its own picture
through music.
I also liked the CD booklet's short notes that Michael included for each
song.
My favorite track is, "Convertible" which also happens to be the most upbeat
song found on The View From Here. The song has a real nice flow and guitar
work. Michael describes the song as, "driving down a desert road on a
wonderful sunny day...in a convertible".
If you want a CD that you can put on while you sit in a nice comfy chair and
let the stress of the day melt away then The View From Here is just what
your looking for.
