I guess most of you are aware of this CD, and if you're not, Im writing this to tell you all its a great guitar cd.

The Seasons of Fire cd starts up with Shin Splints, a great start number as it seems to build up to a crescendo from the start and all the way through..A real teaser, and great 80's sound guitar too..Second number is a more melodious one, Turning Point, and it would be great to hear this one orchestrated with Philharmonics, sorta Scorpions style methinks..With a subtle start up, nice organ and a single, yet perfectly placed "Darker side off the Moon" bell, Come Away Melinda is a sure stunner! I find myself pushing Repeat on this one all the time, great job Dave!

Next comes Surreal Morning, that I think has a modern Ken Hensley sound to it, again with a playfull guitar, and I must agree with an earlier comment here, the guitar play needs no excuse in comparison with any 90's guitar heroes..Smoothly going into The Other Side, Surreal Morning seems like a nice "wake up" after the drifting away with Melinda..The Other Side picks up the pace a bit and puts the rock guitar in heavy focus, very nice, I would love to hear this one as a mean slide!

Number six, Treaty, is a laid back, melodious piece of guitar frenzy, nice playfull bass line and again one notices the way the organ fills out the number without taking over..This IS a guitar CD! A sort of dreamy number with a pace..Title number Seasons of Fire takes of like 80's music meets country meets Satriani, and I think theres a very heepy feeling about this number..The guitar picks up to a dirty rocking blaze and the organ is omnipresent..A very well structured number indeed! On this number one really notices the sort of metallic sound they made for the drums, you notice it on other numbers but its really wicked sounding on this one..Wicked as in good, a fresh intake.

Aftermath smooths out the end of the album, very dreamy, like a space voyage for organ turning into a rollercoaster for guitar, so far Ive blown several strings on my airguitar!..Its the cosmic touch of the cd..In conclusion I enjoyed the album very much and I can firmly recommend it to anyone..Its great and I'm looking much forward to meet you one day and buy you that beer!

Hi y'all!!!

Dave W. was kind enough to send me an advance copy of his new album, Seasons  of Fire, and I thought I'd let y'all know it's killer.

I can honestly say, even as biased as I am, that this is one of the finest 
guitar albums I've ever heard. ...

There's actual melodies (and very good melodies!!!) that you can 
hum after listening!!!! I don't care much for how fast a guitarist can 
play, I care for the feeling they evoke (which explains why my fave 
guitarists are Box, Blackmore, King & Vaughan!! and now White!!! :-)

I know Dave envisions this as a project with other people playing his stuff,  but I don't know why he wants to mess with this, it's great the way it is!!! 

And I'd much rather listen to Dave play guitar than any guests he might  line up, unless his name happens to be Mick Box!!!!

Also, Dave does a killer version of Come Away Melinda that's about as far  away from Heep's version as Clive's version of The Wizard is!!

Anyways, congrats Dave!!!! 
Definitely one of the best releases for 2000!!!! 

Great artwork, too! ;-))

DAVE WHITE -The Lower Room Studios (MP3 / Indie)
An instrumental album by Cleveland musician [and Uriah Heep web-master!], who offers up 9 cuts of interesting melodies, and plenty of cool guitar work. 

Starting off with the keyboard / movie theme production/feel of "The Journey Part 1", White's CD heads off onto a Journey of prog / classic rock inspired cuts that can be catchy and/or soaring with melodies and arrangements. Stand-outs include "Treaty' - which is reminiscent of old Heep as is the aplty titled "For Mick" - done in honor of Heep's guitarist Mick Box, with White coming off sounding very much like the man himself [lots of wah wah!], while "Kelly" has a moody feel and slower pace to it ala Pink Floyd [David Gilmour being another of White's big influences!]. 

A cool journey from beginning to end, clocking in at about 42 minutes - if you ain't into instrumental albums, the tracks are easy to get into and the listener won't be bored with 12 minute solos! Check it out at www.mp3.com/lowerroom

Dear Dave

What can I say?????? Like you, I am a great Heep fan. My story (which appears in the Journal),  talks of the first song Peter ever played me. This was 'Come away Melinda'. This song has
sentimental feelings for me. The whole family, except me, had listened to 'Heepsteria'. Byron (8) was desperate for me to hear 'Disco Gypsy' (he might grow out of it).  So Saturday night, we sat down, fire alight, candles burning, Peter, myself, Byron (8), Elleanor (4), Our scene was set.

So I listened to what my family so desperately wanted to share with me. Byron and I like original sounding songs and Peter
and Elleanor like varied versions of songs. Pete played a song, that i fell in love with within the first few notes.

What can I say,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am playing 'Come away Melinda' right now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW , I never knew that this song
could be taken to a different dimension.... The slow beginning that feel you are floating somewhere very serene 
(oceanic perhaps, with a hint of which song you might be listening to),the short pause, the dramatic bells, then, knowing what
you are listening to. The Piano, flute, the guitar that sang so much, so much more.

I feel my whole body totally enthralled with what I am hearing, Goosebumps!! I personally wish, that this beautiful peace of
music was the last one on the CD (because of its affect on me, I do not know which song comes next, or after), or even better,
an entire side dedicated to this. I am in complete awe/ore/orr (haha), whatever, it is sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Please let me know when you will making a full CD version, I shall be your first customer.

Thank you Dave, I cannot express how this really has touched me. My one recommendation is, the 'Heepsteria' CD is absolutely great,
but if you like nothing else, you MUST buy it purely for 'Come away Melinda' 

Take care and hope to see you soon Love
