NO MYSTERY

Really ironic-- the five that you can sample are mediocre. But let me tell you about the other four! "No Mystery" features piano and guitar in a delightful flow of soft yet brisk music. I can close my eyes and imagine myself in forests or mountains somewhere. "Interplay", featuring piano and bass, goes in spits and spurts, melodic twists and turns, and key changes, yet it really flows! "Celebration Suite--Part 1" opens with a nice drum solo followed by organ, which dominates the piece. After a good opening, it wanders a bit in the middle, but 2 minutes or so from the end it starts building toward a climax that is worth the wait. I won't describe this ending other than to say it may be the most powerful and dramatic ending I have ever heard. "Celebration Suite-Part 2" is fusion at its most dramatic, high energy. The piece also has a great crescendo at the end. In summary, don't believe what you hear in the samples. The best is yet to be heard!

8/10.. that means 4 stars here.
