Callisto played their first Hampshire Jam Festival on October 31st 2009. This download album is a record of that performance.
This performance went down a storm with the audience. The Tangerine Dreams style melodic sequencer music comprised extended versions of two tracks from the album “NYX”, and the extended live performance is an excellent companion to the studio album.

‘E-Scape 2015’ is a collection of exclusive tracks from artists who appeared at the 2015 UK E-Scape Festival on 30th May. Despite the varied line up and styles on offer, this CD hangs together very well and is a very emotive album. From the classic opening UK synth sound of John Dyson and Michael Shipway’s ‘Ride the Beach’, through the romanticism of Dreamerproject’s ‘Hymne’, and the Berlin school adventures of Ron Boots’s ‘Berlin Thunder’, the album never dips below ‘excellent’ and there are no throwaway tracks here. Eric van der Heijden’s ‘Strange Escapism’ is a surreal sound voyage, FD Project’s ‘Beautiful Day’ is a full on, guitar driven live recording. David Wright’s ‘Walking With Ghosts’ Ambient Remix by DJMass is an interesting take on an old favourite and ‘Song for a Friend’ is a delicate rhythmic, ballad dedicated to the late Steve Roberts. Glenn Main’s beautiful ‘Escape the TNBC’ also has a strong personal overtone. Nice to hear music from Paul Ward again too, the interesting and playful ‘The Last Toy Emily Broke’ while Ron Boots concludes the album with the drifting and spaced out ‘Slow Flow’.
The album is dedicated to the memory of Edgar Froese and Steve Roberts.

Intro (extract)

David’s 20th solo album is a melodic and gently rhythmic journey highlighting some of his recent live UK and USA performances alongside new studio recordings. The album features guest musicians including Ian Boddy and Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock and the live music arrangements are completely different versions of the studio originals.
CD comes with a 12 page booklet with photos; text written by David, plus a commentary on David’s 20 years in the business penned by Steve Roberts.

"Shifting Sands” by David Wright and Ian Boddy is an album of sublime space music; rhythmic, but with both artists very much in a chilled mode. Fans will no doubt have great fun trying to determine “who did what” but one thing for certain is that this is electronic music of the very highest quality, and the creative efforts of these highly respected composers has produced a sensational album of varied electronica that is sure to surprise and delight and garner plaudits from fans and media alike.
The first four long tracks explore gently rhythmic and beautifully textured soundscapes, but with a modern edge. As you would expect, the production is sublime and apart from sounding (obviously) very much like an amalgam of the two artists involved, the music occasionally nods gently in the direction of Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Vangelis while always remaining true to the individual styles of Boddy & Wright, and more importantly, to the unique new sound this terrific collaboration has produced. The shorter 6 minutes closer “Comets” is an unashamed foot-tapping synth music stomper that’ll make your hi-fi speakers rattle.

“The Spirit of Light” is Volume 2 in the ‘Best of David Wright’ series and focuses on David’s new age output, and also includes some rarities and music previously unavailable on CD.
Combining the artist’s trademark romanticism and gentle melodies, ‘The Spirit of Light’ is a gorgeous album full of drifting, meditative style music that includes re-recorded and remastered music from his early POEM years plus a couple of reworked pieces from 2009 and 30 minute of previously unreleased music giving a staggering 79 minutes of music.
David’s music has the ability to make one feel, and “The Spirit of Light” with its gentle melodies and emotive quality is proof, if proof were needed, of the artists enduring quality and contribution to the highest quality melodic, new age and instrumental music.
“The Spirit of Light” is ideal for relaxing and meditation or to simply just drift off into space on your own voyage of mind and spirit.

One World Radio – Winner “Best Electronic Music CD 2013”
Dreamerproject’s debut on AD Music is a heartfelt instrumental musical statement that will take your breath away with its sheer beauty. It is wholly original and captivating. It’s also easy to understand why David Wright rates it so highly and agreed to be arranger and producer (as well as featuring on several tracks). His touch is evident, particularly on the gentle rhythms and sequences as well as on the string arrangements, while the production is superb.
The album drifts effortlessly through the 9 tracks that vary from Vangelis to DW to TD inspired, yet while retaining an originality and a simplicity that has to be applauded. ‘Dreamerproject’ writes the most thoughtful, emotional music. It is uncluttered and original and what shines through is an extraordinary beauty. Indeed, the beauty of this album is its unique simplicity. Highly recommended.

The Road To Your Heart (extract)

“Invisible Landscapes” is contemporary melodic chill-out of the very highest calibre and perfectly illustrates Steve’s grasp of melody, sounds and rhythms. It’s a completely different style and sound to Steve’s new age music debut on AD Music, “New Day”, yet it retains the core of Steve’s musical style with warmth and strong musical structure. It also perfectly illustrates how close the new age, electronic and chill-out music styles can be in the hands of such an accomplished artist.
The album sways between gently rhythmic, like the aptly named opener “Faith in Chaos” with its clever use of delicate sequences and sounds, and moody and melodic like the “The Crystal Womb”. The 13 tracks are varied and present a coherent “whole album” with some pieces being so strong thematically, you’ll be humming the tune to yourself afterwards, while others drift along purposely, displaying deep atmospherics and some nice ethereal interludes.
The strength of the album though is undoubtably Steve’s ability to mix his strong melodic sensibility with atmospherics, clever contemporary rhythms and a diverse sound palette, resulting in an album that engages the listener on so many levels that you’ll want to have the CD on repeat play.

Schallwelle Music Awards – Winner “Best International CD 2012”
Glenn Main has established himself as a purveyor of high quality, melodic electronic music that sits comfortably in the realms of his influences. But his music bears only a passing resemblance to Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis or Tangerine Dream, because Glenn has carved out a totally unique style of melodic electronic music that has grown and evolved with each new release.
AD Music is pleased to release his 4th CD “Ripples”, an album that cements Glenn’s place in the electronic music scene by virtue of its simple genius and creativity. Glenn is not just an expert keyboard player, but ‘Ripples’ highlights a growing maturity and a desire to explore new musical territory that has to be applauded.
From the delicate opening “Echoes of the Past” to the evocative closing “Outward Bound” this album washes gently and serenely over the listener with a warmth and emotional prowess that few artists in the genre can achieve. ‘Ripples’ oozes emotion, not only through the beautiful themes that Glenn conjures, but by the clever simplicity with which he creates his musical soundscapes. ‘Ripples’ is a thing of beauty and a delight to be savoured.

Iotronica is Amanda Byrne from Cornwall, UK. Her first release in 2014, ‘Of Moons and Stars’ was a critical and commercial success, having the distinction of being AD Music’s quickest selling debut album. The positive word of mouth and great reviews saw the album soar high in the charts of Internet Radio Stations and receive a ‘Best CD’ nomination in the German  Schallwelle Music Awards. At a very young age Amanda was surrounded by what was then classed as ‘alternative music’ and it was this love of the early pioneers that was to so influence her future musical style. Iotronica’s roots lie in music inspired by Wendy Carlos, Kraftwerk, Hans Zimmer, AIR and she was highly influenced by Klaus Schulze, Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield and Pink Floyd, among many others. She is now working on her second album using her sound palette of orchestra, choirs and synthesisers to bring you more melodic, drifting space music, that will hopefully take you on another dreaming journey into the cosmos, and your imagination, just as the first album did!

Paul Sills continues his musical voyage with this delightful opus. While it may evoke a memory of summer on some tracks, often it treats us to what Paul does best. That is combining swirling synths, acoustic instruments and gentle percussion to great effect in a gently drifting style. In fact, it’s closer to his drifting space music than the title suggests.
Okay, so the layered soundscapes aren’t as dense as on previous outings, but the expertly crafted soundscapes are still very much in evidence, washing over the listener in gentle waves with deep pulsations and a gentle, delicate resonance.
There are some strong melodies and themes to be found here, but this really is an album about ‘mood and feel’, with highlights being ‘Into Dusk’ with its hypnotic layers, ‘Solstice’ that hints at classic Tangerine Dream, the evocative ‘Family Portrait’ and the stunning, gently moody and grandiose ‘Beach Theme 2’.
It all expertly bridges the new age and melodic electronic music divide, being strongly atmospheric and a little moody without ever being melancholy. And as always with Paul’s work, there is a deeply positive emotional undercurrent.

Beach Theme 2 (extract)

‘Anthology’ features the very best of American instrumental music composer Richard Bone and celebrates his unique ambient electronic style. Some tracks are propelled by inventive rhythms that capture the essence of many contemporary music styles while others are beautiful, drifting space music style gems. What links them all is Richard’s trademark ambient style atmospherics and the artists infectious melodies.
Richard has been on the scene since the early 1990’s and his music has won him many plaudits from fans and media alike for its diversity and originality.
‘Anthology’ features 18 carefully selected tracks from his ‘Quirkworks’ label discography and adds 2 previously unreleased tracks for a comprehensive overview of the artists unique and varied style. If you’re already a fan, then this collection should be in your collection. If you’re not, then this is a good place to discover the wonderful musical worlds Richard Bone has to offer.
