Tim Hunter
Blue Sky Moments
Northern Soundscape
Behemoths of Rock won't feel threatened by this softly
lilting instrumental album inspired by the North Yorkshire coastline from
composer Tim Hunter. Yet on the hottest
night in the UK for years, I was grateful to be taken from sweltering bedroom
to the cooler space of North Yorkshire by the expressive restrained guitars and
synth work, with a rhythm similar to that of Toto's Africa.
It's an album that
could accompany the concept of slow-eating and large family gatherings, as it lulls and charms any listener. Tim's clean guitar playing has echoes of the
fluidity of Mark Knopfler especially on my favourite track Fossil Fantasy.
I relaxed to the pleasant atmosphere provided by Blue Sky Moments, found plenty to admire
in his melodies and played it back-to-back the very next day whilst stuck in
sticky Friday afternoon traffic jams.
