Album Description

A STUNNING CD RELEASE BY KAREN MARIE GARRETT AND LEGENDARY PRODUCER WILL ACKERMAN, creator of Windham Hill Records, gold and platinum record producer, and Grammy Award-Winning recording artist.

Recorded between George Lucas' Skywalker Sound Studios in Marin County, California and Mr. Ackerman's Imaginary Road Studio in Windham County, Vermont.

VICTORY REVIEW; ACOUSTIC MUSIC RESOURCE OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST; TOM PETERSEN
"Karen Marie Garrett is a top-drawer pianist headed for bigger things. Allure of Sanctuary is the Olympia artist's third release, following a straight classical disc and another in this New Age vein. This new release is as soothing as it's intended, but it's also energizing. Where a lot of New Age is so light it begins to drift and grow unidentifiable, Garrett's compositions are distinct, with melodies for the listener to hook into. It's billed as New Age, but several cuts qualify as Light Jazz - very mellow Vince Guaraldi, perhaps. Thus, Garrett is a distinctive new artist in this field and could, with the right promotion, see herself at the top of the New Age charts (Allure is already getting significant airplay on Easy Listening stations). It won't hurt a bit that she is a pupil of the founder of the New Age genre, Will Ackerman; nor do dead-enders get invited to record their albums at Skywalker ranch, using Lucas's Bluthner grand! Get this album, neighbors - you can say you "knew her when."

Reaches #8 on Top 100 New Age Radio Charts in just FIVE weeks!

Allure of Sanctuary.......2007-06-13

Allure of Sanctuary is an outstanding album. The music seems to draw you in and want to play it over again

Allure of Sanctuary.......2007-05-13

I received this as an Easter present and it is one of the best CD's I have heard in a long time. The music is wonderful.

A Brilliant Piano Album (reviewed by Stephen Cairns at [...]).......2006-12-09

What an amazing album! This is Karen Marie Garrett's third album, and it is a real find. I am immensely impressed with the delightful melodies which run consistently throughout this album. Tip-Toe Dancer has to be heard to be believed. It is such a beautiful piece of music, and makes the listener want to stand up and start dancing. This track is just one of an album full of highlights. Welcome B and Simple Things are so delicate. This album is produced by Windham Hill founder Will Ackerman. Consequently, the production is first-class. A joy from beginning to end. Bravo!!

Allure of Sanctuary.......2006-07-19

Soothing, relaxing music to release tension and smooth out those tight muscles.

from Solo Piano Publications.......2005-11-14

"Allure of Sanctuary" is the second CD released by Karen Marie Garrett. It is astounding how much this artist has grown since her 2002 debut, "Pensare Piano." Will Ackerman's gifts as producer certainly helped to make this CD as breathtaking as it is, but if the quality of music isn't there, no producer in the world can give it soul and depth - and this CD has mega-doses of both. A classically-trained pianist from the age of five, Ms. Garrett plays with the strength and emotional clarity that come from years of expressing oneself at the piano, sharing the joys and sorrows of life with the beloved 88's. The twelve pieces include eight original compositions, a lovely arrangement of "The Green Hills" by Brian Gibson, and Erik Satie's "Trois Gnossiennes," performed as originally composed. Most of the pieces are piano solo, but Garrett is joined on two by award-winning cellist Eugene Friesen (I LOVE cello and piano together!). Some of the other tracks have English horn, light percussion, and wordless vocals, but this is truly an incredible piano album.

The CD begins with "Tip-Toe Dancer (Kathryn's Song)," one of the lighter pieces in this collection. It was inspired by a story told by a close friend about a childhood dance performed for friends and family. Graceful yet playful, it is easy to imagine the seriousness of the young dancer and the warm reception of the adults. "Lake EWOK Muse" is an improvisational duet for piano and cello that followed a sunrise meditation beside Lake EWOK at Skywalker Ranch, where the album was recorded. The feeling of serenity envelops you as you listen to the two artists interact seamlessly, creating a perfect sense of peace. "Simple Things" is a celebration that begins in a classical style reminiscent of a children's piano study and evolves, retaining the sweet melody and simplicity of the message but becoming a full and graceful solo. The title track is fascinating. It begins with a mournful piano prelude and becomes a rhythmic dance with a seductive Spanish flavor. Susan Whittle's vocals and percussion provided by Will Ackerman and Derrick Jordan add to the enchantment. "Will's Song" is an improvisational piece that is so deeply felt that it almost sends a chill - what a beauty! "Toll of War (Adagio)" is a wrenching duet for piano and cello. A profound statement of humanity rather than of politics, the sense of loss and pain reach to the depths of the soul. This is a piece that needs to be heard. The gentle, pensive closing track is a solo piano reprise of "Lake EWOK Muse."

"Allure of Sanctuary" is a must-have CD!

Ready For Romance 1986.......2004-02-23

My favourite songs are "Brother Louie" (I prefer its long version available on 12"), "Hey You", "Angie's Heart" and "Only Love Can Break My Heart" (my favourite!).

P.S. Back in 1980s, their best albums are "In The Garden Of Venus" and "The 1st Album".

The best MT album ever!..........2002-07-20

Hey Guys,
Stop writing stupid things,please!... This is the Best MT album ever. Brother Luie and Atlantis is Calling are in this realise and they are the two best MT songs ever! Get real!By the way-Brother Luie is one of the 10 best songs ever written in the whole music history!

Third SMASH hit for the LOUIE LOUIE LOUIE Guys!!!.......2002-04-19

This is said to be their biggest album of the 80's for Modern Talking. It isn't one of my favourite album, because I feel that the order of the songs are arranged in a horrible way, as a powerful song might start it up and then two or three boring songs might come before another great energetic song e.g. `Hey You'. `Brother Louie' and `You're My Heart you're My Soul' are THE biggest singles of Modern Talking and they are two massive no.1's as Brother Louie reached no4! In the UK, but `You're My Heart You're My Soul' reached no.56 in the UK but a no.1 in Germany and 9 other countries being a 800'000 platinum single in many places. `Save Me Don't Break Me' and `Only love Can Break My Heart' are songs with a very low profile as they are not in any of the hits collections, they can only be found in this album. So in my view it's not an excellent album but I will give it a full 5star as the MT fans appreciate it so much.

This CD is by far the best release..........2001-10-30

I have been listening to MT since i was very young. They have good voices and their style of music is very unique. This album is by far the best release (i think). The later albums after the come back in '98, '99 & 2000 are good too, but somehow they dont sound as good as the old ones released in the mid 80's.

Not a classic but what better reflection of the era?.......2001-08-18

Modern Talking is no ground-breaking revolutionary in pop music, but their catchy, sleek and well orchestrated tunes still make a very nice dance music for us sad thirty-year-olds; it is very nice to play in the car.

It also brings nice memories, which is I suppose something that matters a lot.

Songs are fairly repetitive, but some are better than others. Of those, the album only has one or two. "Let's Talk About Love" is in fact richer in the tunes that you will remember from the eighties.
