An eclectic mixture of acoustic and electronic music, epitomizing Jolliffe’s trademark style of fusing modern sounds and technology with traditional instruments such as flute and saxophone.
Alien” is a set of cosmic new age electronica from Steve Jolliffe. This CD features Jolliffe using silver flutes to augment his synths. His technique allows his breath to become an important part of the sound design. He also uses vibes and guitars to complete the soundscape. This is a stunning CD. Jolliffe glides smoothly and easily between new age melodies and space music atmospheres. He uses his voice in a guttural, wordless chant to augment the melodies. The whole project oozes with class. It is one of his best efforts, including his work with Tangerine Dream. It will appeal to fans of Paul Avgerinos, Robert Carty, and Michael Stearns. It is an essential CD.
