Free Music Notes for Atlantis: A Symphonic Journey
Free Music Review: Arkenstone is great but be aware...
Hit: 4 Stars
There is a definite middle-Eastern influence in this music (some tracks have chanting and Asian finger-symbols). Beacuse I don't care for that kind of music and because the title is Atlantis (not sure what I expected but not a middle eastern and American Indian overtone) I have to take away a star.
I like Arkenstone and love his earlier works like 'In The Wake of the Wind' (very American cinema-like) but he's really trended into 'other-cultural' overlays and they sometimes don't show up at the beginning of the tracks so you may not here them in the samples. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, just understand what you're getting. After buying the MP3 album, I'll probably delete half the tracks because of this.
Atlantis: A Symphonic Journey Poster
Why David Arkenstone isn't a top line film composer is a mystery. His music has a cinematic orchestral sweep that seems destined for Hollywood epics. Yet, except for some small films, the silver screen has eluded Arkenstone, so he works out his cinematic ambitions on his albums. A gifted multi-instrumentalist with a wide orbit of influences, Arkenstone has a fondness for the grandiose statement and the sentimental mood. They are present in abundance on Atlantis, his paean to the mythical lost continent. His touchstones range from Coplandesque exuberance to Cecil B. DeMille biblical epics, complete with faux Middle Eastern melodies and rhythms. There are some nice touches, including some Adiemus-like chorales courtesy of Adiemus singer, Miriam Stockley. But Arkenstone's romantic arrangements swamp his compositions like the Red Sea closing on the Egyptians. Most Hollywood soundtracks are full of tried and true emotional strategies. Arkenstone utilizes them all on Atlantis--the only problem is, he doesn't have a film. --John DilibertoNew Age Music CDs
