This album is a paean to the life-enhancing qualities of the dance. Eternal Dance, Elf Dance, Pan Dance and Force 11 are predominantly upbeat affairs, the juxtaposition of contrasting meters an important feature of each piece. Farewell Patagonia is unashamedly a tango from start to finish, the Latin flavor also pervading the slow burn of Lochria’s Rhumba and Ice Maiden. We enter into the world of the intimate waltz in Remembrance, In The Eyes Of A Child and The Last Kiss. By contrast, it is jazz syncopation and Irish dance rhythms that drive the music forward in In The Pocket. Song For My Mother is a tribute to my own mother and The Sad Little Geisha Girl was inspired by Arthur Golden’s novel, Memoirs Of A Geisha. (Geoff Eales)
