Up Close 21 (1995, Windham Hill/High Street Records/Boston Acoustic)

Today, I will be reviewing Manring's 1995 album, "Up Close 21" from the three-record labels, Windham Hill, High Street Records and Boston Acoustic.




This is Michael Manring's fifth studio album, and to be honest, I haven't found anything about this album in terms of reviews. As a matter of fact, I can't even find any of the songs from the album on YouTube. All I can say is that, based on the track listings, it's a collection of previously recorded or re-recorded material. That's all I know. If anybody has any other information on this album and/or has a copy of it, please let me know in a comment so I can update my post. In the meantime, here's the track listings: 

1. Life in the Trees 
2. Cruel and Unusual 
3. Oyasumi Nasai 
4. Hopeful 
5. Red Right Returning
6. Blue Orleans
7. Welcoming
8. Monkey Businessman
9. On a Day of Many Angels
10. Snales Got Legs

And here's the link to download the limited edition of this CD:

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! For this year's post, it will be a late one due to the fact that the holidays came by too quickly for me to prepare myself. Tonight I will be reviewing George Winston's 1982 album, December . To learn more about George Winston, click the link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Winston Now to begin, December is George Winston's fourth solo piano album, released in 1982 as a holiday album, follow up to the album Autumn , and as a tribute to the winter season. In 2001, a 20th Anniversary Edition of the album was released, including two bonus tracks not included on the original release. As of last year (2013), the album was again reissued by Valley Entertainment with Dancing Cat Records, since the original Windham Hill label is now defunct. 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...

No Posts Until September

I've been avoiding making posts because it is summer time. I will be back in the autumn to update my blog so get ready for more music. Also, I plan to delete my other blog, Underground Alley, due to lack of interest in making posts. The only reason I started that one since the Depeche Mode album, "Delta Machine" was released. The Windham Hill blog will return soon.
