Winterlude
Just finished listening to "Winterlude" by David Arkenstone, released by QDV Music.
Selma Franz, my adorable baby sister, made a rather interesting observation when I mention that I had received "Winderlude" in a previous order for Amazon. She knew Steve Orchard and Medwyn Goodall by name, but she had never once recalled me mentioning David Arkenstone.
Now in the interest of full disclosure, I am a friend of David Arkenstne here on Facebook, but I have never interacted with him and that includes no email exchanges.
I first became aware of David Arkenstone when a saw a full color advertisement for his "In The Wake Of The Wind" CD when it was first released back in 1992 shortly before I bought my first CD player. So yes, "In The Wake Of The Wind" was the first CD I ever owned. ["Brigadoon" was the first DVD I bought when I was out in San Diego with Mom visiting Selma and Chris Franz, my brother-in-law back in the late 1990s.] I don't remember the magazine where I saw the add, it was a full length science-fiction fantasy magazine, and not a digest-sized on. I do remember that.
I bought "In The Wake Of The Wind" at the now defunct Camelot Music store across the street from the Barnes & Noble near where I live and enjoyed it - pretty much getting every release of Arkenstone's that I could. Once Camelot Music shuttered it's stores nationwide, I depended on the music section in Barnes and Noble until ultimately switching to Amazon and/or ordering directly online.
Selma actually was able to hear a section of "Winterlude" and said that it was a bit too melancholy for her. Which is understandable since "Winterlude" is a reflective album of the moodiness of the winter season.
My favorite tracks on this CD are: "The White Cathedrals," "Whispers of the Winter Wind," "The World Sleeps," "The Icy Brook Finds Its Way," and "Warm Lights Flicker Across The Lake."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
