Product Description
From Amazon.com
Erik Wollo's works are overlooked gems of modern instrumental music. From his home in Norway, Wollo's been sending out missives of mood and ambience since the mid-1980s with albums like Silver Beach and Solstice. Last year's U.S. release of Guitar Nova explored the acoustic-guitar side of this musician in multilayered, overdubbed soundscapes that retained the ambience and structure of his electronic works. With Wind Journey, he returns to synthesizers but keeps his electric guitar at hand for some gloriously heroic solos, especially on "Dream Line." A subtle, tugging ostinato pattern builds into layers of keyboard orchestrations topped by guitar, which starts out in a pastoral, acoustic mode but segues into a soaring lead solo that recalls Steve Hackett during his Spectral Mornings era. Wind Journey is centered by Seasons Suite, a 10-part sequence of moody vignettes. Erik Wollo's roots in progressive rock are clear and he uses them to articulate a cinematic music. While Wollo lives in a country with some of the most awe-inspiring landscapes in the world, he composes much of his music in a basement studio. The worlds he creates are strictly from the imagination, and what a vivid imagination it is. --John Diliberto

Ambient music that takes me far, far away!,
By ManOfPrecision "Tony" (Lowers Bucks County, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wind Journey (Audio CD)
I have purchased cd in the summer of 2002. Back then, all I could think of doing was listen to 88.5 on the radio and hope that they will play music from Erik Wollo. The first song I heard was "Dream Lines". The music didn't seem familiar to me at first. I didn't consider it really ambient but it turned out that it was. After listening to it, I was into it very much. I never heard such a song played like that before and I knew it was something I would like. Wollo plays the guitar in a way that the sound echoes in my head and makes me feel like Im somewhere far and distant. In a short time, I heard "Wind Journey 1". That was amazing. After I listened to it few more times, I was into it so much that I couldn't help buying it from Amazon.com. Just about every beat and sound seems to echoe as if it was played outside where nothing surrounds you and where the music can travel and be heard. Listen to the samples and decide. Buying this cd is something to consider.

An album that really speaks to to the soul,
By ManOfPrecision "Tony" (Lowers Bucks County, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wind Journey (Audio CD)
This is probably the best album by Erik Wollo yet. Electronically made, enhanced with drums and the acoustic guitar, this album really speaks for itself.

Its a Whole New World,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wind Journey (Audio CD)
This is probably the best album by Erik Wollo. I didn't buy his other albums but I heard them on the radio. The music must really make one feel like they are in a totaly different place. Wind Journey is excellent and is a must buy. Another thing to love is the track, "Dream Lines". Discovering far-away lands is what I want to do and this album helps me feel like Im there. I imagine a whole different kind of world when I hear the beats.
