Creatures of the Deep

'Creatures of the Deep' by Robert Haigh. From 2017 on compact disc and from the Unseen Worlds label. 

Acoustic piano and atmospherics. Floating above the noise and clutter of the day. Best if played late at night with the lights turned out. It certainly creates a mood. 

Robert Haigh is a recent discovery through a friends posting on social media. I'll be ordering more.

Three Days In May

Solo piano on vinyl. Not really Jazz or Classical and far from Pop These types of recordings were sometimes called New Age for no good reason. I've always hated that label. It's not part of that way of life. It's just piano playing. There were a great many of these recordings (solo acoustic piano and solo acoustic guitar) made in the 1980's starting with the Windham Hill records but by the early 1990's the form had devolved into adding other instrumentation and slowly began to fade away. 

From 1984. This is a alternate version of the album cover. Not what was used on my copy. I couldn't find a better image of the actual artwork.
