The
Ancients believed a journey could take a traveller in
one of five directions; North, South, East, West, or
inwards to the heart.
With
these eight tracks, Riley and a superb cast of musicians
and vocalists, including Jayne
Elleson and Huda
Sabour, evoke the magic and romance of people and
places from all points of the compass. From New Zealand
and Australia to Egypt and the Savannah, this stunning
album combines World Music sounds with the emotional
vocal sounds heard on their first Visions
& Voices release.
Jayne's sexy vocals combine with the superb mute trumpet
work of Geoff
Culverwell on Just Breathe, while Jon Mark,
Leigh Jackson and Gary Taylor guest on guitar, and Damon
Grant's sax and Nathan Gray's amazing didgeridoo weave
in and out of the lush pads and strings.
"A
brilliantly colourful journey to many lands both real
and imagined, interweaving evocative melodies and vocal
textures, ethnic rhythms, gypsy guitars and lush synthesisers"
