CD/DVD Releases: Dave Kulju Releases New CD ''Notes In The Margin''

Posted on Friday, July 09 @ 17:30:40 UTC by nightowl

On June 29th, progressive multi-instrumentalist and Electrum guitarist Dave Kulju released his second solo CD, Notes In The Margin. To mark the release the CD was premiered in its entirety on the progressive internet radio station Delicious Agony during the program "The Rickter Scale."

While Kulju's previous recorded work has been all instrumental, the centerpiece of this album is the 5 track, 30 minute epic "A Poet's Talespin" which has lyrics based on the beautiful work of Australian poet Amanda Joy and vocals performed by UK based session vocalist Annie Oya.



The remaining 4 tracks, all instrumentals, include:

"Skating On Europa," an extended space rock flavored piece;
"Know Again," which has a fusion feel and is laced with haunting electric violin melodies performed by Ian Cameron;
"Get The Hell Off My Lawn," a hard driving tune based on nimble guitar/bass riffs;
and finally the CD concludes with "Counted The Stars," a short, dark piece that is perhaps more tone-poem than traditional composition.

The entire record is driven by the outstanding percussion work of session drummer Frank Basile.

Kulju composes and records his music in his home studio in New Hampshire. In addition to his 2007 release Abstract Expression (Progressive World review), he has done two CDs Frames Of Mind and Standard Deviation with his band Electrum. Three free tracks are available at www.davekmusic.com.
