Bates, Martyn

Dance Of Hours

As founding member of Eyeless In Gaza (other member Peter Becker), Martyn has released numerous critically acclaimed albums as part of this always unique, always exploring and experimenting, and always highly influential duo. He has also put out a handful of stunningly beautiful solo albums including LETTERS WRITTEN I & II. On DANCE OF HOURS Martyn Bates thus continues his pursuit of simple haunting melodies and mesmerizing organ/piano-driven soundscapes, most often heavily layered with his incredibly gifted voice, the most amazing instrument this side of heaven. The music on DANCE OF HOURS is often drenched in the myriad resonances of "folk", whilst simultaneously circumnavigating any rigid and limiting definitions. Trying to describe or compare Martyn's fascinating vocal harmonies is next to impossible, but Enya perhaps comes closest.
