Aqua Velvets fans will be in Paradise with this new release Reaching Shangri-la. Including new original songs by guitarist Miles Corbin and instrumental renditions of some classic songs by one of Corbin\'s fave 60\'s groups the Shangri-Las. \"Leader of the Pack\" is astounding and cool, \"Out in the Streets\" is romantic and riveting.The title track \"Reaching Shangrila\" is pure magic. Corbin says this is the best AVs cd in a decade. Recorded in Corbins\' mountain getaway Tiki Hut Studio in Paradise, Ca. The sound is a return to the very first Av release featuring melodic echoey guitars, drums, bass and an occasional Ennio Moricone keyboard. Beautiful and mysterious. The version of \"Remember Walkin in the Sand\" is absolutely gorgeous and in keeping with Aqua Velvet signature \'Guitar Noir\' stylings. Five Stars!

Extraordinary
author: Mark Warriner
Kudos to the Aqua Velvets and Miles Corbin on another virtuoso performance. Very much remindful of Guitar Noir and Musique de Paradiso. I have all of their albums as well as all of Miles' solo efforts. They stand head and shoulders above all others. Easily one of my top three favorite artists out of 100 or so that I follow. Miles' is also a great guy to email/chat with. He was extremely kind, sent me some old band bumperstickers and stuff. I eagerly await every new album with glee. Buy, sit back and enjoy!
