Album Notes

'Highlands and Skylands'

Peaks and Valleys Shaped in Sound - New release 2002

Music inspired by the highlands of Scotland where david lives and where the divers have predominantly worked during the early part of the 21st century. Soaring themes contrasted with tranquil ambient moods make this cd a truly panoramic listening experience - as deep as any ocean and as cool as a mountaintop. Mood music with altitude!

In 2002, HIGHLANDS & SKYLANDS made the NAV Top 20 Radio Playlist, was selected as the #1 "Instrumental Music (Acoustic & Electronic)" release of 2002 by Backroads Music and made Wind & Wire's top 10 favourite "New Age and World Music" releases of 2002.

"...about as near to perfect as an album can be. Like the countryside that the two musicians now call home, beauty can be found in both simplicity and in jaw-dropping wonder. The music on highlands and skylands is a fitting testament to the truth of that belief. This album earns my unqualified and most enthusiastic "highest recommendation." - Wind & Wire

"do not mistake this for easy listening or wallpaper music: if you want it for background music you have to take the wild and brooding landscape of the Scottish Highlands with it" - The Scots Magazine
