Finding Good Metal In Taken.......2002-12-25

I picked this CD up the other day, all i can really say is GNAR! If your into This Day Forwards (Kairos) album you should like this. Screamy driving emotional parts mixed in with sing song sing alongs. It's nothing realy groundbreaking but will have you pressing your little underused repeat button, that is my only negative comment for the album, too short

Beautiful Piano Relaxation!.......2006-04-09

I've always loved solo piano music. It's very soothing and relaxing. It's also great for weddings and intimate dinner parties. So, it should be no secret that I recommend pianist Philip Wesley's 2002 release, "Finding Solace". It's a collection of 12 original compositions that will invigorate music lovers of the genre. His piano playing is comforting and will stimulate his listeners. I also found it a grand accomplishment that he didn't take up the piano until his years in college. This makes this CD an even more satisfying listen. If you love George Winston or John Tesh, this is right up your alley.

"Finding Solace" is Philip Wesley's debut recording, and consists of twelve original and very personal piano solos. Most of the tracks have a lovely, soothing flow to them, and there is a gentle simplicity to Wesley's approach that is elegant and heartfelt. I don't usually compare one artist to another, but some of the pieces are heavily influenced by David Lanz - especially "Lamentations of the Heart," "Still Waters Run Deep," and "Tabatha's Song" -and are actually some of my favorite tracks. I mention this only because I think fans of Lanz's earlier solo piano music will probably really enjoy this album.

The CD opens with "At This Moment," which is based on an improvisation done on Wesley's wedding day on the church piano to settle pre-wedding nerves. Thoughtful and optimistic, he doesn't sound too nervous after all! "Celestial Reverie" is much more expansive and open - as the title suggests, a little bit sparkly and a lot dreamy. "Journey Home" was the first piano piece Wesley ever composed. Inspired by a college music writing assignment, the piece is peaceful, but also has a sense of moving forward. "Lamentations of the Heart" is much sadder, but is very beautiful and deeply emotional - I love this track! "Ocean of Color" refers to the autumn colors St. Louis, and is a bit more abstract and improvisational. "Tabatha's Song" is about first love, and has a sweet poignance and innocence. "The Awakening" comes from deep introspection and the internal journey of reevaluating one's life. Wesley shares the experience with grace and openness.

"Finding Solace" is an excellent debut, and I look forward to hearing future projects! The stories behind the music are found at www.philipwesley.com.
