Soulful Terrain is pleased to announce that mixing has been completed on their new album entitled, Astoria. Tracks are currently being mastered in Nashville by renowned producer/engineer Mick Conley. Melding elements of Progressive rock, Jazz, Celtic and Modern music, Astoria is a multi-stylistic musical journey into what is possible when the barriers of what is expected are diffused, resulting in music that is free to let the listener be inspired on a wide variety of spiritual and emotional levels.
Soulful Terrain’s Astoria is the work of Jason Williams: guitar/bass/keyboards, Van Hunsberger: drums/percussion and Elic Gurganus: lead vocals. Plus significant musical contributions from David Bainbridge: guitar/keyboards and Frank Van Essen: violin, from the band Iona, as well as several other special guests. We hope you will enjoy the music as much as we enjoyed making it. Stay tuned for official release information coming very very soon. Once released Astoria will be avaliable in 2 ways. First, a full 16/44.1 CD quality wav download & Second, a 256 kps MP3 download. Pricing will be different for each format so you can choose what's best for your needs. It will also come with a digital booklet with art, credits, etc and a 1 page traditional cd cover you can print out if you wish. |
Reviews: Wow! Seriously, this is really great stuff! What I specifically like about it (besides the great guitar playing) is that it is actual SONGS with melodies and great arrangements. Now this is MUSIC! (and you can quote me on that) - Neil Zaza - Virtuoso Guitar Player "The Days Of Truth and Hope is a wonderfully inspired, diverse range of compositions. This albums superb musicianship and evocative arrangements guarantee something for every listener." - Dan Zank - NYC Producer/Studio Musician Amazing playing and superb audio quality. - Keith Mohr I.H. Artist Relations Reviews from CPR Vol 2. Soulful Terrain's awesome, Celtic-infused "Secrets in the Valley" is a heartwarming praise tune with emotion and passion, and featuring gifted guitar work from Jason Williams. - IN News Dispatch & The Midwest Beat Review Soulful Terrains Secrets in the Valley is another Celtic-laced song that features some wailing guitar from bandleader Jason Williams, fiery drums from Van Hunsberger, and guest appearances from Dave Bainbridge and Frank Van Essen of Iona. This song compliments the leadoff cut nicely, and flows into some of the following cuts as well. - The Phantom Tollbooth |
