Eric Wøllo – Blue Sky, Red Guitars Spotted Peccary – 2004 I love this CD. It is so heavenly pleasant to listen to that it forces you into a good mood. What more can you ask for with anything, really? Eric Wøllo creates astounding soundscape of ambience with clean guitars, moody keyboards, trance-like loops and active percussion. The guitar work sings out almost as a whispery voice taking you to the places Eric Wøllo wants you to reach. |

| "Blue Sky" plays like the beauty of the
Grand Canyon. The big open space of the soundscape with bright guitar tone immediately put
me at ease. I almost felt like getting up and dancing in the light of
"Computerlobe." The light airy rhythm sets you up for "Destiny." This rhythm pattern is really special, as it sounds huge and open. Wøllo tops this wide-open space rhythm with little guitar touches that highlight the rhythm of the track. "In the Hall of Mirrors" has a Latin romantic quality. Maybe it’s because the guitar sounds Flamenco in this track. There’s an uplifting rush of emotion to "Moving." Wøllo creates this a dreamlike pattern on guitar and percussion. With "Rain Tree" I can picture scenic oriental countryside. I got caught in the tranquil breeze of "Sedona." The swaying of the guitar rhythm and acoustic guitar embellishment of "Silent Nostalgia" reminded me of the softer playing of Buckethead. The last track sums of the entire album "Timeless." BLUE SKY, RED GUITARS is one of my favorite CDs from 2004. |
