Full Sail Bock

The beer pours with a dark brown coloration and little to nothing in the way of head. The beer’s nose has hints of grain and a slight hint of sweetness. The bold flavors of the Bock come forth with the first good sip – there are dark fruit and peppery notes that are given further depth through the inclusion of smaller hop elements.

The dynamic between the guitars and drums creates something that is absurdly fast while possessing just enough order to properly wallop anyone that is listening in.

Pedro Soler & Philippe Mouratoglou to play Isaac Albeniz’s “Rumores de la Caleta”

The work of Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) draws profound inspiration from popular music, such as Suite espagnole, Iberia, Recuerdos de Viaje, and Cantos de España. Even though he composed for the piano with the greatest respect for the original forms – sevillanas, malagueñas, bulerias – his style is influenced by the specific colors of the guitar.

David Arn Walking to Dreamland CD Review

Walking to Dreamland is a track that ties together the pop and rock styles from the sixties to the current day. The dynamic that Arn crafts between the guitar, piano, and vocals during this introductory track will cause listeners to take notice; they will be hooked. Better Off Today slows things up, allowing for a more complex and introspective style to issue forth.
