Just like the title imparts, Meditations offers twelve lush, instrumental
acoustic guitar pieces that pair Lanzbom's acoustic guitar with bass, harp,
strings and flute. Lanzbom gained notoriety or his guitar work in Soulfarm,
a New York area rock band known for combining Middle Eastern influences with
country and blues-rock. Commenting on Meditations Lanzbom says, "This me an
opportunity to work on my classical, acoustic and more improvisational and world
beat leanings Lanzbom sounds inspired by his time spent in Israel and the music
on Meditations takes n a wide range of New Age guitar work. At various moments,
the album reveals Lanzbom's fondness for the guitar sounds of Leo Kottke and
Pat Metheny. Moody and quite moving in places, Meditations is filled with memorable melodies and Lanzbom's refined acoustic guitar playing.
Meditations is Lanzbom's third solo album, following up his earlier albums
From This Day On (1998) and Beyond This World (1996). |
