WOLLO
"WHERE IT ALL BEGINS"
Monumental Records
This reissue of an album originally released in 1983 not only offers the improvement of a digital CD (remastered in 1999) versus vinyl. It also presents a difference with respect to the old version: It includes some extra tracks from Dreams of Pyramids (a LP released in 1984). The composer is in charge of guitars, whereas several musicians accompany him with other instruments: Oystein Sevag (keyboards), Brynjar Hoff (oboe), Inge Norum (percussion), Rob Waring (vibraphone), Jan Erik Salater (bass on "Step Into"). The expressivity that Wollo achieves with his acoustic and electric guitars is remarkable indeed. From his hand, the guitar appears at the same heights as any other orchestra instruments among those which are best appreciated in the role of soloists, like for instance the piano.
