News on the new David Wright CD release “Sines of Life”.

The new David Wright instrumental music release “Sines of Life” is scheduled for release early in August 2009. The delays have been due in part to AD Music changing its distribution to New World Music, changes to the artwork and last minute track editing.

“Sines of Life” will be available on CD and as a digital download and contains 9 tracks totaling 78 minutes of music and is a mixture of new studio recorded tracks and studio edited live music from the 2007/2008 USA and UK concerts. The album also features Nigel Turner Heffer & Robert Fox on one track, and Klaus Cosmic-Hoffmann on on four tracks playing guitar, electric sitar and Memotron.

Although the album features live music versions of songs already released, some versions are so radically different to the originals as to be almost new songs in their own right and the electronic music is not presented in “live” mode; ie no audience noise etc. The full track listing is; September Dawn, Sines of Life, 3 am & All Good Things (all new), Cassini (live) Walking with Ghosts, Beyond Paradise, Just and Illusion and State of Bliss (all live and featuring Klaus Cosmic Hoffmann).

A volume 2 featuring all new material, both live and studio recorded, will also be available later this year as a digital download only. More details on that to follow.

AD Music announce two new releases by newcomer Ramsaygee.

AD Music is always looking to bring fans original new music, and newcomer Ramsaygee delivers not one but two superb albums of electronica music that really are going to excite and delight. This is music that is hard to categorize, but probably fits into the category of more modern electronica; think a more rhythmic Mike Oldfield – a heady mixture of rhythms, both real and electronic, tribal beats, real percussion and occasional vocal textures laced with terrific guitar and electronic synth work.

“Digital Nights” & “Exotique” are both exiting electronic music journeys, in which the ethnic rhythms are integrated into the more contemporary electronica motifs to startling effect. The variety of sounds and styles attained is quite remarkable and the overall feel is one of excitement and anticipation as the listener is taken on a dazzling musical trek that’ll leave your head spinning, but also hitting the replay button to go round again.

Rhythms are the order of the day here, verging from electronica to rock to tribal rhythms and back again. But there is also some wonderfully delicate and hauntingly atmospheric work too, all held together by the superb musicianship of those involved. There are some terrific themes that’ll have you humming the tunes long after the music has faded into space, and with one song flowing seamlessly into another, both albums have an epic feel about them that brings to mind some of the best contemporary thematic albums in both the electronic and the prog rock genres in the past 25 years.

“Exotique” and “Digital Nights” will be available to download on 26th June. In the meantime, listen to the sound bites on the AD Music website to get a flavour of what the music is about because this unique and original music is best heard, not talked about! Check out the AD Muisc website and online store for more information.

New Acheloo release coming soon on AD Music.

The third digital release of ambient electronic music by Italian guitarist/keyboard maestro Acheloo will be released on the 26th June 2009. “Khimaira” follows the same wonderfully haunting and etherial style of ambient electronica music as the first two releases in 2008. Instrumental music label AD Music really has discovered a star here; has ambient music ever sounded so good? Acheloo has a rare talent for making interesting and thought provoking minimalist ambient soundscapes using electronic music sounds and electric guitar that envelope and embrace the listener with a beauty the verges on the darkside. The music calmly washes over the listener, and titles like “Constant Perceptions”,”The Semblance of a Dream” & “Impalpable Shadow of Evening” are space music gems that drift effortlessly by conjuring up mood and atmosphere just as the titles imply. You’re transported to vistas both mysterious and beautiful by the incredible pull of the music that retains interest without ever actually breaking into a discernible melody. Unique, extraordinary and utterly brilliant! Check out the AD Music website and online store for more details.
