Review

Crommie's musical timespan stretches from the middle ages right through a digital sampler into 1990. He plays instruments as diverse as the recorder, the psaltery, the synth, and the dulcimer, and creates gorgeous compositions which utilize medieval sounds alloyed with a new age aesthetic. Your first comparison might be to Mark Isham's music, although Crommie is more delicate — he doesn't go in for Isham's grandiloquence. Crommie's synthesizers are subtle, creating a sort of dreamy context which allows the acoustic instruments' voices plenty of room. If you're into medieval music, you may hear it in a new light on this tape. And if your taste runs to new age, this is a must, a distinct cut above the audio anesthesia you hear from the larger new age labels these days.
