Chris
made 3 cassette/limited CDr run albums with Roger Pugh in
the 90s. In 2002 Roger wanted to remaster his own songs
from the albums onto a compilation album "Ranting in
Heaven". On the original masters were songs 2-5 which
Christo hadn't heard in ages. He remastered them here along
with Remember Me which was in his vaults.
Still sound fresh, especially after the digital remastering.
Very much puts Christo in mind of his 90s German tours with
Roger Pugh of which these songs were mainstays of his set.
Other tracks from the sessions with Roger came out already
as bonus tracks on the re-issued Sounds Like Rain CD, and
Carousell on the Storming CD, and 3 bonus studio tracks
on the Live! CD

Me
trivia
Remember
Me which was from the Earth Rising sessions but was left
out through lack of time needed to complete it fully.
Stewed Flutes was a track made to balance timing of
the 2 sides of the original cassette album from which it was
taken.
Don't Wait Too Long was co-written by Chris Conway and
Toffee McDougall who was a regular busker on Leicester streets
for some years.

Following
three heavies in the instrumental realm of slamgrass, jazz
and bluegrass (respectively), It was serendipitous to find
an artist that was not only talented in the instrumental
aspects of music, but is a master of visual imaging through
poetry.
Chris
Conway has worked with some of the world’s best jazz and
world musicians, including members of Jethro Tull and Fairpoint
convention. His previous CD releases span the genres of
experimental world music and jazz, while his most recent
release, Lost Tracks, is a collection of acoustic folk and
mood music. The tracks are beautifully simple, getting back
to the roots of acoustic music, rich in lyrics and familiar
hooks. The instrumental tracks like 'Stewed Flutes' use
ethnic percussion and bamboo flutes that take your mind
to other worlds.
Lost
Tracks is available for download from his official homepage,
but I recommend to the listener that has a taste for quality,
to listen to some of the other CDs previously released by
Chris Conway. A rounded musician from top to bottom, Chris
Conway has an eclectic range of music that will suit just
about anybody’s CD collection.
