Free Music Notes for In the House of Stone & Light
Free Music Review: I have owned this album since it's release
Hit: 5 Stars
This album and it's music is like the old sweater you always want to wear on the cold rainy day. I have found Martin Pages lyrics to be both comforting and inspiring. It is great to see some more music of this favorite available.
My favorite songs of all time: I was made for you, Shape the invisible and Put on your red dress (a song that always manages to make me smile no matter how down I feel)
Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks Martin Page for a great gift !
Free Music Review: His Second Solo album is on its way....
Hit: 5 Stars
Good news for all of us that enjoyed Martin's first album so long ago....
According to Wikipedia.com: "He is slated to release his second solo album, entitled 'In the Temple of the Muse', on his new independent label later in 2007."
Hopefully Amazon carries it!
Free Music Review: Easy listening with just a hint of spirituality...ness...itude
Hit: 4 Stars
It's always a risk releasing this kind of album, especially with a vaguely-religious-yet-doesn't-cram-God-down-your-throat title track that doesn't exactly please either side of the theological aisle. Martin Page, unable to resort to powerful lyrics or glory notes (due in part, unfortunately, to his limited vocal skills), had no choice but to let the simple, effective melodies speak for themselves.
And they do. In fact, it sounds for all the world like he was deliberately shooting for an easy listening niche, and he hits it perfectly. His voice does strain a bit at times, but overall it's just a very enjoyable CD through and through.
Bonus points for having the willingness to go long. He knows that if your fans like listening to you, they'll appreciate an extra minute. A lesson some modern-day vocalists could learn.
Free Music Review: Very lyrical, melodic, and with a touch of a world sound.
Hit: 5 Stars
I've heard the album many times before, but just got it last week. It's a wonderful piece. He has a very unique way of portraying his music, as well as being a great musician. I don't understand why he didn't make more albums. If you dig the title track, pick it up. It's a good album.Free Music Review: Wonderful album
Hit: 5 Stars
I actually have the cassette of his music. I want the CD too.
I remember listening and hearing "In The House of Stone And Light" years ago on the radio when I was in 1st grade or something. Always been a favorite of mine. And some other favorite co-written songs include "We Built This City" and "These Dreams" (These Dreams, rocks my socks!) This album is very good.
It also includes great artists like Brenda Russell ("Piano In The Dark" another fave), and Phil Collins (he got great joints too)
Each song on this album is very DEEP. It is too bad, songwriters like this are scarce, these days. Ya gotta look deep for them. Most of the good ones were back in the day! Retro ones, still at it today ;)
"In The House of Stone And Light"-Very soothing and mellow song, reminds me of faraway lands. Something ethereal. One of my favorites; it stirs the soul
"Shape The Invisible"-"Why can't we shape the invisible?, he asks in the song. A universal theme about how life is, sometimes life can be challenging and sometimes we can get discouraged. An inspiring song
"I Was Made For You"-A beautiful, soft and mellow love song. This reminds me of 80's type music.
"Keeper Of The Flame"- A fun, upbeat song about keeping the flame going. :P A cool song to chill to.
"In My Room"-A serious, haunting song about a boy who witnesses domestic abuse. It's very well written, and the background is, even so, haunting.
"Monkey In My Dreams"-Unique song about obstacles. To me, it sounds like obstacles, lol.
"Put On Your Red Dress"- I can imagine a smooth jazz version of this song, because of it's mellow pop rock background. Another smooth love song.
"Broken Stairway"-a melodic, piano ballad about relationships gone wrong. It is indeed beautiful. I love the piano and I love piano ballads.
"Light In Your Heart"-The beginning of the song is the best.
"The Door"-Another haunting song about the Holocaust and a woman who remembers it all from her past.
I love how all of these songs are deep, well written, by a songwriter who prolly could (given the chance) write like Nicholas Sparks. ^_^ And his songs are so ambient and ethereal, and very worth lisetening to.
Great CD!
