Jobson, Eddie

Artist: Eddie Jobson
P: 1985
This album and CD were releaded at the dawn of digital recording. It was on the now defunct Private Music label which saught to combine forward looking technical music with the VERY best recording technology. Theme of Secrets became one of the VERY first DDD (digital recording, master, and transfer) CDs.
It has fantastic textrues created by the now arcane synclavier. This state of the art keyboard/computer, with add on modules for guitar and other instruments. Eddie and Frank Zappa were true pioneers of this machine. Sadly, the company that made them went bust.

Artist: O'Hearn TD, Yanni, Ciani, Jobson u.a.

Artist: O'Hearn, Pnder, Yanni, Jobson, Hwong
Goodman, Leo Kottke
P: 1986
Private Music was one of the earliest "New Age" labels (coming after Windham Hill and Narada), and of course Yanni was their "star" (he is represented on this album by two tracks: "Santorini," and "Nostalgia"), but they released a lot of other worthwhile music, and this early (1985-1986) album is a good selection.
Patrick O'Hearn also has two fine tracks: "Unusual Climate," and "Ancient Dreams." Other artists included are Lucia Hwong, Sanford Ponder, Leo Kottke, Eddie Jobson, and Jerry Goodman.
The album still makes for good listening, along with all of Private Music's other "Sampler" albums.
