Phil Thornton
"Alien Encounter"

(New World Music NWCD428)

Communion with the unknown is significantly enhanced by playing Thornton's positively mesmerizing music.He is a master of exotically radiant rhythms as demonstrated on the everpopular recordings "Eternal Egypt" and "Alchemy".

Vocoder, e-bow guitar, didgeridoo, rainsticks and keyboards are accented by "alien whisper" and "droid effects" on six reverie inducing selections that transport the listener to the star-kissed realms of deep space.

In majestic resplendence, the "Arrival of the Mothership" signifies that one is about to meet E.T. in an enticing "Encounter" before being blessed with "Visions from the Homeworld."

When played without interruption through headphones - or through speakers set to high volume - this inspired music makes for an impressive, unearthly journey into the very heart of the archetypal Other; it's beautifully eerie, subtly hypnotic and sure to stimulate some intense dream cycles.
