Album Notes

The Keeper's Log is the second of two original albums in tribute to lighthouses and their keepers - if you're interested in discovering inspiring melodic guitar music with an undercurrent of maritime imagery, then these are just the albums for you!

Mat Dickson's music creates a highly atmospheric soundscape, reflecting the ever-changing moods of the sea and the sky around the lighthouse; from storm to calm, cloud to sunshine - stimulating to relaxing, contemplative to uplifting.

However near or far you may find yourself from the coast, the inspiring and relaxing music of The Keeper's Log will take you on a journey where time stands still. Where the everyday world can become just a speck on the horizon in your mind's eye. A musical breath of sea air, guaranteed to help you unwind!

If you're a fan of Mike Oldfield's instrumental music, Mark Knopfler's Celtic-flavoured soundtracks and Breton guitarist Dan Ar Braz you should really check this music out! Mat Dickson's guitar style has also been compared to that of Robert Fripp (King Crimson) and Marillion guitarist Steve Rothery - see the reviews on Mat's website.

Are you a lighthouse enthusiast? Then Mat Dickson's albums are a 'must-have' for your collection! Both The Keeper's Log (Skerryvore) and The Lighthouse Keeper (inspired by The Needles) feature watercolour paintings of the lighthouse, and also include the Admiralty marine chart of the local sea area. The Keeper's Log is presented in an attractive Digipak - a real collector's item!
