The Atlantis Factor contains warmth, grace, elegance, beauty and power. Dwane so vividly depicts the lost city with lush textures and mesmerizing melodies, leaving no stone unturned.

With an ambient basis of drifting atmospherics drenched with astral sensibilities, Dwane adds sedate percussives and sultry baselines to enhance his unearthly guitar. The latter instrument acts as an interface for a plethora of sounds, eerily and pensively creating a wondrous skyscape of dreamy melodies that capture even the shallowest imagination.

"Angels, Aliens and Archetypes is a classic Mark Dwane CD from 1991. He recorded the entire album on MIDI guitar. And it is a classic space music set performed in the finest Berlin school tradition. The dense atmospheres, infinite loops and layers of sound are reminiscent - not derivative - of some of the legendary German electronicians like Manuel Gottsching, Edgar Froese and Klaus Schulze.

With this release the listener will find a great CD filled with thoughtful, progressive and textured songs that will be sure to please anyone with a taste for music that showcases such a wide range of qualities.

Dwane's approach to synthesizers is very different from others in that almost every sample and keyboard voice you hear is played or triggered by a MIDI guitar. This approach makes Dwane's music more expressive than most artists. The Monuments Of Mars is a breathtaking CD, full of powerful melodies, soaring anthemic themes, melodic rhythms and an overall fresh approach to electronic music composition.

"Mark Dwane's midi-guitar music continues to evolve in a more progressive fusion direction on his latest recording, The Sirius Link. As on Planetary Mysteries (his previous release), some tracks stray far from the Ohio-based artist's spacemusic past, here integrating more aggressive rhythms and using his guitar in more conventional (relatively speaking) ways. The resulting music is high-energy, propulsive and both immensely and immediately listenable. I'd rank this as one of the best driving CDs of this year, easily. Between soaring midi-synths (controlled via the artist's guitars), electro-organic percussion beats as well as conventional drum kit work, lots of assorted spacy textures and effects, and perhaps the best outright guitar playing of Dwane's career so far, The Sirius Link, if it is given half a chance, could be this artist's breakthrough recording to a much broader audience.

Contrasting Eastern sensibilities with modern riffs, Dwane generates a comfortable fusion, resulting in a tasty electronic flow injected with drama and surging waves of soft tempo. The bell-tones and wheezing keyboard rolls (all done on a MIDI guitar, remember) swim with similarly ethereal tones. These relaxing sonic waters are stirred by the luxurious percussions (all produced on Roland keyboards)

LTD 3000
"This signed, numbered limited edition of 3000 is Mark's fifth and most ambitious release.  It is the culmination of three years of studio work and, after a couple of careful listens stands out as his best to date.  Incredibly strong compositions and well developed tracks of  varying tempos retain his recognizable sound while adding new dimensions too.  Mark generates all of his sounds through MIDI Guitar and he captures sci-fi space music and cruiser rocket styles like no other.
