My electro-acoustic guitar-based music has been described variously as 'new age', 'spiritual', 'Indian-sounding', 'Arabic-sounding', 'Jewish-sounding' and reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd. This is some recently received feedback on the CD which was emailed to me:

Hi. I just bought your album at Bond Street station this morning on my way to a regression session. Your music was exactly what I needed at that moment in time. To hear this type of music on the Underground is very special as it's the last type of music you would expect to hear. Very reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins, Harold Budd & Simon Raymonde. Will you be playing any gigs soon, if so we would like to go and see you, THANKS.......

...the CD is superb, very mellow. Please let me know about any new stuff that you bring out.


The title track Indra in Avalon probably sounds the most Asian (it has real tabla too) although a gentlemen who recently heard me playing live (also in the Underground) thought it sounded Jewish. In any case, all the music is original and certain people seem to like it a lot.

STOP PRESS: Two bonus tracks have been added to the CD. The first is a 7 minute monologue on the subject of Natural Intelligence (mp3 version is available via Prescience Vol5) backed by modern ambient sounds. The other bonus track was recorded in August 2001 and will feature on the upcoming moving Manna: An Eco-Shamanic Odyssey which I am currently making. Its a new style and was made with my own studio equipment.
