The mists of time and myth meet in the legend of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Merlin his mystic, seer and spiritual prophet are all archetypes that we can place onto our own history and story.
Jon Mark , with his Celtic origins, understands and brings this tale into musical magnificence.
Continuing the same theme as he developed in Callanish Mark creates all the atmosphere ( gulls crying, waves crashing on the shoreline) to bring us the essential feel of the Land of Merlin.
He experiments more on this album with textures which helps add a magical feel to the tracks. it is especially noticeable on Merlin and the Unicorn.
The haunting bell that tolls in the background throughout most of the track, brilliantly evokes the title on A Perilous and Mystical Journey.
Jon Mark is a master at painting an impressionistic tableau with music. It comes forth as rich, multi layered and nostalgic of times gone by. For the romantic in us this album touches a chord.
Again this album is ideal for just relaxing and being taken off as well as using in therapeutic healing, massage or yoga practice.
Truly Merlin magic being woven!
