Album Notes

Press reviews
ARTIST'S MIRAGE - Laurie Larson by NAPRA REVIEW

Laurie Larson is a true renaissance woman; she not only sings, writes, plays many different instruments, photographs and paints, but she is an astrophysicist by occupation.

For her, mixing science and art makes perfect sense.

"Creativity is born from making unique connections between divergent notes, divergent arts and divergent sciences," she says.

Creativity certainly abounds on this CD.

Called "psychedelic folk-rock" by her label, the music incorporates her poetry (often resembling prayer, as in "Sunset of the Mesa") and ethereal backup that ranges from multi-track vocals to synthesizer to sax, as in the captivating "Feather Dancer." With more of a New Age sound than folk, Larson's songs are daring, uniquely her own - the title cut really gets out there! Definitely worth a listen, preferably with headphones.

REVIEWS

A treasure-trove of great songwriting waiting to be discovered.
author: Melgarejo Music
I was taken aback by the quality of the arranging and the songwriting found in Laurie Larson\'s Artist\'s Mirage. What the album lacks in production value, hence a 4 star rating as opposed to 5, it makes up for it with pure creativity and the creation of a new sound for a new century. If this album had top notch production value, it would be a chart topper guaranteed! Despite that one strike against it, the vocal and instrumental performances are still passionate and very compelling. Laurie Larson may shine through as one of America\'s top female songwriters. ~ President, Melgarejo Music
