Search - Pete Bardens :: Art of Levitation

Just beautiful and flawless

"The last art by the perfectionist. Clarity of sound and rich nuance cannot be reproduced by PC or inexpensive audio system.



I removed CD from my portable during the first track "Zone" and played on JBL 4343W powered by Marantz Polar Star power amp.



To reproduce fully HiFi sound in this CD, probably you will need to upgrade your audio system.



When played on Highend system, you will be surprised at the dynamic range and clarity - "Spirit of the water" is a good example where whispering voice by Talluah (Pete's daughter) is heard.



I believe this version "Spirit of the water" sung by Pete and Talluah is the best version after comparing Camel Original, Andy Latimer, Mirage and Pete Burdern's Mirage.



I am really sad that there will never be new songs by Pete. The great farewell gift to fans like me."

Another excellent album.

"I was excited to find this album, but saddened to learn it was Pete Bardens' last. It is a strong "new age" disc very consistent with his previous releases. Also check out "Speed of Light" and, what I believe to be his personal best, "Water Colors.""
