Review:
Dramatic instrumental newage/pop music - piano based, describes
Glenn E. William's independent release, "Another View". Here
you will find 14 tunes that have such a pronounced melody line that they
sound as if they were songs, with lyrics, and these are the instrumental
versions - and that is very good. William's piano playing is pure adult
contemporary - with tones and phrasing that range from the Love Story
Theme, to Elton and Barry chordings - up to the intensity of John Tesh
and Yanni - but Williams has a subtlety in his compositions that perhaps
is incomparable - using quiet moody pedaling and sometimes XFiles-ish
patches that add originality to his instrumental pieces as in the 7th
track, "Away". Relaxing and sometimes dark music - sometimes
uplifting as in "Real", the mp3'd entire tune here that starts
with it's soothing piano intro and moves into a lyrical upper keyboard
story that becomes supported by pulsing strings before an entire keyboard
orchestra joins the tasteful piano melody. Contemporary instrumental compositions
for lovers of unobtrusive evenings.

Cantwell:
"Another View" is the only pure instrumental album that I've
ever come across and liked. Every song is enjoyable and has a vibe that
I I absolutely love. Glenn is a brilliant writer and composer who has
guided me musically and through a friendship I treasure. His talent is
something to be reckoned with. This album should be noticed by all who
love music in general, style does not matter. Every melody is intelligent
and wonderful. Thank you for your music.

through every note of this great album. Can't wait for the new one!! |
