Album Notes

With the release of Alta Products, Maskil has landed with a unique sound that captures the heart of folk while solidly surrounding thoughtful lyrics with groove oriented instrumentation.

It is a sound that captivates the listener and prompts them into asking questions about the content of the songs in relation to their own life.

The acoustic driven sound is complimented beautifully by the southern soulful electric playing of Dan Olson and the solid funk style rhythm section of Ben and Andrew Borley.

This is not just another band singing about love or disappointment, this is music that speaks out of a journey.

Alta Products is the compilation of three years of work, and speaks at the heart of the human expression. It is well crafted and recorded with the passion of adversity and friendship all exploding onto the digital surface of the CD. Alta Products will most likely be a disk enjoyed by many.

The expression of life in a faith experience adds depth and satisfaction to the stories so creatively displayed by the band, and gives the listener the opportunity to engage with the music on an entirely different plane.

REVIEWS

A gushing review
author: Kathie Miller & Anna Gonzales
If you don't own this album go and get it now! I walk around my campus (U of Iowa)with it and it seems to fit every mood. The melodies aren't the only things that are great but the words have real meaning and touches my heart. This album is great everytime I listen to it I have a new favorite, it's unstoppable! This album is worth every penny!

This is one of the bast albums I own!
author: David Greco
Alta Products is one of those albums that keeps getting better. Some cds have that one song that you love and the rest is crap. You won't find that here. Maskil has a masterpiece under their belt. Every time I pop this disc in I like it more. The songs get deeper. The lyrics reach even further into my soul. If you don't buy this album, you're missing out on one of the greatest independent recordings done in a long time.

Me too!
author: Ailen Beth
So being a "Child of the West" myself, this cd is what I listen to when I´m missing the sky... More than that though, as I listen to the lyrics I think to myself "Hey, if I were a poet, that´s what I would compose!" seeing as I couldn´t, I´m glad someone did. It also gives me a very personal angle by which to see God, and keeps me coming back to the conclusion that God is so fun even though we don´t have all the answers yet. Well done Maskil!

This project from Maskil is definetly worth fifteen dollars. It's obivous that alot of hardwork was put into this recording making it one of my favorite c.d.s in my collection. This eclectic mix of folk and rock is a unigue and new mix of sound that really works well together. Check it out for yourself!
