Ed van Fleet - Grand Eagle

Artists: Ed van Fleet
P: 1991

Drawing on classical, Native American and space music influences, Van Fleet has crafted a work of supreme beauty and magnificence. Using synthesizers, samplers, occasional guitar and both electric and acoustic percussion, he weaves melody and texture to create musical vistas ranging from the Northwest coast to Santa Fe, from gently flowing streams to the heart of a thunderstorm. At times delicate and haunting, at times majestic and filled with power, Grand Eagle is a sensitive and soaring ode to the pristine beauty of the wild.

Ed van Fleet - Horizons

Artists: Ed van Fleet
P: 1992

Now with his fourth solo outing, Horizons, Ed Van Fleet of Synchestra fame continues to drive his one-man-band sound into unexpected territory. Revving into gear are the two album-openers, "Watch over Us" and "Forever Onward," which have a distinctly commercial, uptempo percussion edge a la Jan Hammer. "Starry Night" and "Yesterdays" downshift into the land of the lush and the majestic with sweeping strings, gentle harp and whimsical flute. From there "Transmutation" cruises into a rather ambient sci-fi suspense-filled expanse. Ending the journey are "Praying for Rain" and "Horizons," which have both a romantic and dramatic feel similar to David Arkenstone or Richard Burmer. It's hard to believe this rich and diverse album was created by just one man and his synthesizers.

Ed van Fleet - Migration

Artists: Ed van Fleet
P: 1987

The seven selections on this album vary in mood from wistful to triumphant. Rhythmic, with layers of synthesizers and sequencers, this is a totally electronic work and was Ed’s first solo release.  Visual and spacey, it creates sonic landscapes.

Ed van Fleet - Oceans

Artists: Ed van Fleet
P: 1992

Ed Van Fleet combines his trademark synthesizer compositions with recorded ocean sounds to produce a relaxing yet thought-provoking listening experience. All the selections are in a minor key, but not ponderously so. Rather, they have light, bouyant, mysterious qualities reflective of a calm yet wonder-filled exploration of the unknown. The simultaneous beauty, quietude and adventure of life on, in and by the sea is nicely captured here in all its variety. Much of the New Age music that appeals to me is either extremely energizing or soothing to the point of sedation, but this recording does neither of those things, finding instead a comfortable and intriguing middle ground between the two extremes. What I like about Ed Van Fleet's compositions is that, though replete with texture and atmosphere, they feature harmonic structures and melodic elements that are engaging enough hold a listener's attention. They really do sound like music rather than just collections of cool, atmospheric sounds. There is progression and purpose; the pieces begin pregnant with promise and then deliver, at least enough to keep the listener hungry for whatever might come next. And indeed, in this recording, the whole point seems to be depicting the haunting-yet-enticing quality of the ocean, which always has something of value to offer but never reveals all the secrets (or hazards!) hidden in its depths. "Oceans" is the mellow cousin to another of Van Fleet's releases, "The Forgotten Tribe", which is more intense and cinematic, and definitely worth seeking out as well.
