Acoustic Mechanic CD -
"Acoustic Mechanic" is a CD by Kent Welton, a skilled classical guitarist, who has brought you his talents on this CD in the form of songs that feature much more than guitar. Kent's impressive guitar work certainly stands on it's own on this CD. However, in addition to Kent's guitar work, the CD features passionate strings, airy syths, and wonderful piano work. The beautiful arrangements very effective meld various acoustic instruments, to provide each song a subtle life of it's own. "Night in Seville" leads off the album and sets the tone with a beautifully arranged and executed guitar piece. ""Morning Chamber" is a wonderful string arrangement and is undoubtedly an anthem to the beauty of a new day. "A Flutish Fancy," starts with a dark intensity and blooms into a fantasy-like movement. If you enjoy classical and new age music, you'll enjoy this CD.-

“The cd program is so varied it becomes a satisfying recital. Many of the pieces have a Spanish flavor to them, and there's also an influence of East Indian music”

“I liked what I heard” - Lost And Found CD

Zorba And Budha Together Again – Sarmad (Kent Welton)
“Very Beautiful” Avinasho, OshoViha.org
“I really like the laid back productions, that are full of excellent instrumentation,.. To be honest from “Adaglo Venezia” which is one of my stand outs here, to “Night in Seville” “Mellow Man” and “Bossa Olda” which easily could be a Sade track, the record just gets better and stronger, there are some of the most beautiful orchestral parts, I have ever heard, quite amazing, I presume, Kent is doing all the writing here, so we have another major talent on iplacemusic, fantastic!
Excellent XXXX + Stars, Andros Georgiou
