Released in 1987, Valley in the Clouds by multi- instrumentalist David Arkenstone still stands as one of the most exquisite electronic new age recordings ever produced. Lofty praise, but nearly every track of this meticulously designed musical voyage validates the claim. Imbued with a star-traveler's adventurous spirit, Arkenstone's work conveys a sense of interstellar majesty that invites a listener's imagination to operate on an IMAX scale. Luminous at times, gently percussive at others, the nine pieces succeed at fulfilling Arkenstone's stated composing ambition: "I kept asking myself: What would Indiana Jones enjoy listening to?" he said whimsically at the time. If Indy was transformed into Rocket Man, Arkenstone would immerse him in such expansive sonic delights as "Ancient Legend" and "Stepping Stars," a classic pair of album-openers that grandly establish the mystical-travel theme. "Princess" is worthy of royalty in any galaxy, and "Night Wind" can introduce you to auroras that only your mind's eye knew existed. An audio excursion not to be missed. --Terry Wood

Electronics ntains two disks: "Valley In The Clouds" and "In The Wake Of The Wind". I do a lot of writing at my computer and have been using web radio (New Age) for background sounds. Arkenstone's music and name showed up, and I was hooked. His style and composition on these two disks fit perfectly with my needs and style. When I write, I need auditory sensory input to help me concentrate and stay the course. Mr. Arkenstone makes music that can sometimes make you tap your foot and at other times might bring you close to tears, but is never so overwhelming as to cause you to forget what the hell you are doing. These two disks are very good for that. I am pleased with the production quality of these disks, and the sound Mr. Arkenstone constructs on them. The sound is pleasing and relaxing when listened to in an exclusive way, such as when you are doing nothing but laying around on the couch in a substance induced semi-comatose state. So much for critical rationalizations; I just like the music on these disks.
A simple yet elegent debut for David Arkenstone........2002-05-30
Listening to Arkenstone's albums, it's easy to notice that he likes to make each album unique and different from the last one. Each of his albums has its own sound, and it's this that makes his music so ecclectic and appealing. With his debut, "Valley in the Clouds", the music is simple and right to the point. Rarely is there a complex movement found in this album's songs, and each piece likes to use long, drawn-out notes that echo like a haunting opera. But the songs are in no way reminiscent of BGMs (BackGround Music) that you hear on a Discovery Channel documentary; they are all stand-alone compositions that sound great. Several of my personal favorites on this album include the haunting "Night Wind" and the magnificent "The Sun Girl".
While the songs of "Valley in the Clouds" are nowhere near as complex as his later works, they are still great to listen to. If anything, "Valley in the Clouds" is a great way to introduce yourself to the diverse and unique musical talents of David Arkenstone. If you enjoy the simple yet elegent music found on this album, then you'll be pleased to learn that it only gets better from here.
