Imaginary Roads (1988)

This Album contains tracks, not only composed by Ackerman on guitar, but also contributed by the other Windham Hill artists, including Michael Manring and Philip Aaberg. I listened to the tracks and I must say honestly that I "drifted away in leisure".




Here as always, the track listing for the album:

1. The Moment in Which You Must Finally Let Go of the Tether Which Has Held Your Hope Airborne
2. A Region of Clouds
3. If You Look
4. Floyd's Ghost
5. Wondering Again What's Behind the Eyes
6. Dawn Treader
7. The Prospect of Darrow's Barn and the Blossoms of an Apple Spring on Imaginary Road
8. Brother A Teaches 7
9. Innocent Moon
10. The Moment - Reprise

11. If You Look - Version II [*]
12. Darrow's Barn - Version II [*]

Tracks 11 and 12 were featured in the 2009 reissue of the album by Valley Entertainment, according to Wikipedia.

  • Allauding Mathieu on Piano for Track 1
  • Chuck Greenberg on Lyricon, Yamaha WX-7 wind synthesizer and Yamaha DX7 keyboard synthesizer on Track 3

For their second LP, Darol Anger invited Mike Marshall, Todd Philips and Andy Narell to join he and Higbie, as mention two weeks ago, and they soon became the Darol Anger and Barbara Higbie Quintet, later changing it to Montreux. Balakrishnan left the band to study composition and Anger took his position in playing the violin (full time). The band, minus Balakrishnan, performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1984,  and their performances were recorded there for the release of their second album. Here is the album cover.

In 2001, a 20th Anniversary Edition of the album was released, including two bonus tracks not included on the original release.

This most recent reissue has been packaged in a Digipak and features a revised cover art, making the image wider and blending the text onto the art cover rather than above it. For comparison&#
