[CRAZY-HORSE]

COLIN MASSON "the mad monk and the mountain" cd, 2010

was introduced to this guy via a post made by Ruby a while ago....
it hard to place his style, but im going for Progressive with this one....
six tracks in all, four of which are instrumentals...
this guy has as much emotion and feeling in his instrumentals as Knopfler IMO...
track one is spoken word over music, track three is female vocals song is psedo-folky I guess...
of the instrumentals, I like three and dislike one....
tough call between "the mad monk and the mountain" and "the house on the rock" for best track...
im going for The House On The Rock...
from memory, my avourite track has flutes/woodwind in it, sounds a bit like Jethro Tull in places.
why do I like his instrumentals??????
because theyre not repetitive, they ebb and weave, speed up, slow down etc...
anyway, a good album, a cant wait to get my teeth into the other two I purchased...
and Jerome, you'd love his work mate, do yourself a favour and order his cds!
