START WITH WATER

Doug Robinson and the H2Orchestra

In cart Not available Out of stock

Soulful, relaxing and trippy music--a tribute of sorts to the early Windham Hill era.

"Mind-blowing, both sonically and emotionally. I found myself transported more than once. Just superb grooves, instrumental choices/deliveries and production."

"Listening end to end now and loving it. "Not Lost Anymore" is a hell of an intro song and it stays strong from there."

Cover art and design by Paul Segal; mastered by Mark Briggs at Falcon Eddy Studios

17 of my favorite compositions, scaled down to their essence.

Reviews: " I found myself being drawn in again and again as Robinson played each piece...He conveys a great deal of thought and emotion without coming close to sentimentality. Can it be said that there is wisdom in a performance?"

LOVE ALL WAYS

Doug Robinson

Cover art by Juan Ezcurdia.

I think this is my best work ever. The first 9 tracks (heard here as track 1) comprise a 29 minute suite called ANIMALS.

It is followed by several shorter standalone compositions.

I am playing everything with the exception of a guitar solo (Ken Basman), a scat solo (Bobby Kaplan), caliber (Andy Robinson), synth (Keli Marks) and saxophone (Tripp Sprague).
