about

It took Carl Weingarten 5 years to compose and to arrange this album. "Blue faith" is a sensitive, simply great, varied instrumental album with a sophisticated mixture of instrumental progressive rock (more acoustic), ambient jazz, ambient space jazz, world music and some slight ambient electro tunes.

I'd like to pick out just a few songs: Illumina suite combines angel-alike choir arrangements with classical guitar, cello and magic percussion. Great ! China March features flute, jazzy trumpet, piano and acoustic guitar (a bit ECM-style jazz). Shanghaiway brings in some chinese atmosphere showing the world music can be very progressive. Red Night offers progressive space rock mixed with ambient electro. The dream unfurled lets drift your sould away in pacistanian medition tunes. The old stone path sounds like a haunting mystery, The shadow returns seems to be a 5-minute-progrock soundtrack, Come with me gives you great world-folk and Angel's fever makes you spread your wings and fly into a progressive new-age sunset.

Great sound, lots of influences and impression make this CD a "must-buy" for open minded fans of progressive music. Die hard progfans should keep their hands off and hide behind their Genesis vinyls ... but all those who can imagine to like progressive music mixed with world music, jazz influences and ambient sound paintings, should check out this CD ... this is art ! --Markus Weis, DRUP.com
