I have been collecting Davison's CD's for several years. I have watched him grow from the melodic style of this CD to an atmospheric approach in his adagio series. He manages in these later CD's to have enough melody to keep the music interesting but never overpowering. He allows the listener to fill in the spaces.I have several friends who practice massage and swear by Davison's music. And I am in a yoga class in which the instructor only uses Davison's adagio series.Davison manages to tap into one's emotions yet never panders to the obvious. He is a skilled composer who knows how to write for a wide variety of instruments from around the world. His music is evocative, ethereal and yet I can still touch it on a human level. This is clearly the work of a man who has both feet on the ground while his imagination is left free to create without restrictions. Highly recommended.
