::thinkstandard::-unconventional sounds

I really enjoy when I can get lost, engulfed, fall into a song. When music pours through my headphones like water and washes everything away. It can be like waves crashing down on you, leaving you motionless exposing our vulnerability, or even our mortality. Or it can roll like a gentle stream or a slow flowing river, who's waters are inviting and they make time stand still. You can just float around on a tube drinking cold beer all day not a worry in the world.

These images where painted in my mind by the music of Steve Molter. One of his songs had me feeling like I was in the middle of a Baz Lurman movie, yet another reminded me of Carlos Santana's Blues for Salvador album, another brought to mind the mystic sounds of Clannad. It's a lot to handle, I know but after every song I listened to I felt alive and wanted more. This is some great stuff, a lot more needs to be and I'm sure eventually will be written about this muse of ambiance, trance invoking music.
