"Sines of Life - Volume 1" contains new studio material alongside imaginative live re-workings of classic David Wright compositions from concerts during 2007 and 2009 featuring guest musicians, and it's no understatement to say that it's a majestic tour de force of instrumental new age electronica.
From the evocative opening "September Dawn" to the truly awesome closing epic "All Good things..........", the music on offer here covers rhythmic to emotive, atmospheric to melodic and is mature instrumental electronic music with class and style that is nothing short of sensational. The perennial favorite "Walking with Ghosts" is replayed as a brand new arrangement that is simply sublime and features another UK synth luminary Ian Boddy on keyboards and German guitar legend Klaus Hoffmann Hook, who also plays the Memotron. Another beautiful reworking is "Beyond Paradise", this time featuring Hoffmann-Hoock on electric sitar, while "Just an Illusion" and "State of Bliss" are again completely new imaginings of the original album tracks that here feature stunning cosmic guitar work from Hoffmann-Hoock. The remaining songs include the atmospheric piano based title piece, a previously unreleased live track featuring Robert Fox & Nigel Turner-Heffer titled "3 a.m." and a new interpretation of David's popular epic "Cassini" recorded at his 2007 USA concert.
The production is superb and with a running time of over 78 minutes this fitting anniversary album provides both quality and quantity. If you're already familiar with the work of David Wright, then this album really is a "must have" because the reworked live tracks are significantly different from the originals to differentiate this set from a traditional "Greatest Hits" compilation.
If you're not and you're into good quality, melodic and emotive electronic music, then "Sines of Life" has more than enough quality to warrant your investigation and ensure your interest.

2009. Press Information This release from 2009 offers 79 minutes of masterful electronic music. A collection album featurings rare and live tracks...

"September Dawn" a studio track that serves as a dreamy opening for the next track. The melody is lilting, the execution exotic.
"Cassini" live at the Gatherings in Philadelphia, a lively piece combining peppy e-perc with spiraling electronics. Several delightful threads run concurrently, each contributing to this song's enticing complexity. The bouncy rhythms bestow a lovely degree of oomph to the inventive pulsations and sweeping keyboards.
"Walking with Ghosts" live at the AD Music festival in Derby, UK, in September 2009, with guests Ian Boddy (on synths) and Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (on M-Tron and guitar). An extended pensive piano intro leads to a dose of stunning of space guitar counterpointed by celestial electronics. A selection of novel effects are featured as peripheral embellishments, all of which excellently fit with the piano as that instrument turns romantic with heartfelt chords.
"Beyond Paradise" live at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay, UK, 2008, with guest Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (on electric sitar). Eerie tones conspire with cosmic sitar stylings for a floating excursion that culminates with some tasty synth-saxophone amid a pastiche of languid beats and luscious textural layers.
"Just an Illusion" live at the Fisher Theatre in Bungay, UK, 2008, with guest Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (on lead guitar). Some outstanding space guitarwork highlights this dose of serpentine electronics flavored with sinuous rhythms.
"Sines of Life" a studio track that adopts a softer, more introspective temperament with tender piano, auxiliary electronics, and velvety percussion.
"State of Bliss" another live track from the Bungay 2008 concert, with Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock (on guitar). A more sedate piece featuring softly scorching guitar, endearing sustains, and inventive electronics. Chorals and gentle piano season this mix, attributing a wonderful heavenly flair to the opening, which then slides into a sultry disposition replete with writhing rhythms and more prominent guitar. A touch of synthetic strings lends a smooth grandeur to the climax.
"3 A.M." an unreleased live track from a Code Indigo session circa 2006, with Robert Fox (on keyboards) and Nigel Turner-Heffer (on guitar). Post-midnight airs are dreamily captured by majestic keyboards and meticulous guitar.
"All Good Things..." a studio track that serves as a superb wrap-up for this wondrous collection. Bouncy e-perc and expansive electronics provide a suitable foundation for Wright's signature keyboards to establish a milieu of inspirational optimism.

2010. Matt Howarth / Sonic Curiosity I always had being bond for David Wright music. Whether in solo, either with Code Indigo and Callisto or with Ian Boddy and Robert Fox, David Wright always touched my sensitive point which livens up my emotions. His music reflects the particular character of the emotional paradoxes which is hidden inside each human being; either she is serenely melodious or strangely disconcerting. But no matter facets, she is mostly moving. According to the comprehension that we got after reading the 20 pages booklet that comes along with the cd, Sines of Live Vo. I is David Wright’s last opus. A gift to his fans that includes compositions played live and which have new arrangements andor orientations, along with 3 new tracks. A synopsis of his last years in the course of live performances.

A wind of cosmic dust, where crystal rubs to spatial sediments, opens the intro of September Dawn, one of Sines of Live Vo. I three novelties. Of austere to melodious, the galactic wind is transformed into a warm earth ballad where it whistles among light percussions and a fluty synth. Melodious and soft September Dawn is astride cosmic plains of a light lascivious tempo.
A silky prelude to the colossal Cassini, from Continuum album. Truncated of some minutes, Cassini preserves its entire sequential ardor with its tribal percussions, its Gregorian chants, its wrapping mellotron as well as its synth with breaths and burning solos, porter of a magnificent synthesized melody which spawns among this attractive sound constellation while throwing the bases for a warm tribal music as well as a monasterial music.
The 2nd part is simply a blast for emotions. And emotion is the keyword of David Wright's works and Walking with Ghosts is doubtless the most significant album in his 20 albums career.
The title track takes a completely different turn with Ian Boddy's addition in synths and Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock in Memotron. A superb title that has touched a lot of fans over the years, and if the intro does not dupe your soul to highlight some sighs of nostalgia… well your soul has gone to another world.
Idem for the splendid and hyper melodious Beyond Paradise of the same album, which dresses a quite new shape with Klaus Hoffmann-Hook to the electronic sitar which accompanies languishingly the spectral synth of Wright. Simply delicious!
Just an Illusion, from his latest studio album Dreams and Distant Moonlight, is played with a very rock intensity because of Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock guitar performance. We close our eyes and we would believe to hear Mind Over Matter's rebirth. Absolutely divine! Only Wright tinny synth brings us back in its spheres with his personal touch as melodious as ingenious.
A magnificent version that has some Hindu’s fragrance and which is melting subtly into the introductory hazes of Sines of Live. This delicate eponym title moves gently on a warm bass structure which modulates a supple pace, such a walk of a lonesome spatial cowboy who wanders in the shade of a dreamy chords piano. Slowly, Sines of Live becomes more harmonious with a mellotron synth that frees its orchestral arrangements in the gloom of this piano full of melancholy. A track imprints by this magnetic sweetness of Wright and which ends in the State of Bliss's introductory gloominess, again from Dreams and Distant Moonlight, where Wright/Hoffmann-Hoock duet transposes aptly the paradoxes, as rhythmic as emotional of this magnificent title.
Sines of Live Vo. I ends with its 2 last new tracks. Written during Code Indigo Chill session, 3 am is a dark and melancholic title where the grayness transposes on a piano to melancholic keys which soak into the hazes of a foggy synth and a guitar with reverberating loops effect. A short title which is use as springboard to All Good Things's livened up and frenzy rhythms. A title which depicts David Wright’s fickleness as rhythmic as melodic and which draws solid arrangements on a heavy structure that roams between the rhythmic corridors of Cassini and the progressive rides of Code Indigo.

Sines of Live Vo. I is a brilliant musical collection that David Wright is offering to his fans. Some classic tracks of its latest years that are remodeled by Ian Boddy and Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock presences and which he presents with the whole emotionalism that characterized his 20 years career. It is truly sad that it has to ends here…
