David Arkenstone sets his sights on the spiritually-rich lands of the Himalayan region with SPIRIT OF TIBET. Arkenstone's flair for majestic arrangements is fully on display here, as he creates music that features soft Asian-themed melodies mixed with occasional use of percussion to create a dramatic effect. Keyboard melodies join with guitar, vocal samples, synthesizer ambience and the bamboo flute playing of Don Markese to create music rich in imagery. The approach here is modern; the album closely aligns with Arkenstone's trademark sound of dreamy instrumental music with a chilled vibe. The use of Tibetan instrumentation and influences in tandem with the core Arkenstone sound is pure magic, calling to mind intimate villages nestled in the northern reaches of the world.
