Vinyl LP pressing. Recorded in Sweden, 'Dark is the Sun' is a concept album based on themes and variations by British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat, who has created an intriguing blend of non-contemporary jazz sounds with classic scoring techniques. An exotic array of unorthodox instrumentation was utilized, including harpsichord, tubular bells and a 15 piece choir. With musical reference and influence from such luminaries as Bruno Nicolai, Michel Legrand and Serge Gainsbourg as well as a firm nod towards UK jazzmen Michael Garrick, Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw, the result is highly-listenable, enduring and fulfilling for those who like real music played with real instruments.
Crazy, how many billions of people use Amazon, and this amazing album has yet to be reviewed.I love this sucker. I think these guys are British, and Brits ain't known for their jazz chops, but this isn't quite jazz. That's what I like about it, it's a fusion of Jazz, lounge, non-crappy-electronic-music, and library music/soundtrack music from the 60's & 70's... but it never, ever sounds like the hated JAZZ FUSION. It's a pretty mellow affair that never gets into elevator music territory. So as you can tell, it's quite unique. Great chill-out music, great background music at a dinner party, good sex music, relaxing but never dull... You know what kinda person you are. If you tend to like a lot of music most people haven't even heard of, you'll probably dig this one...
