WONDER DANCING ON GLOBAL BOP

Paul has an "exciting and heady blend of world fusion that leaps from the African Flamenco grooves of A Night On The Moors, to the ethereal evocations of Gamelon Nights, and the aboriginal bombasts of Kalahari. Along with the Gypsyesque and poetic Les Joueurs, Adams paints an astounding musical journey both serene and inventive!" John Deliberto ECHOS and Tower Records PULSE Magazine.

THIS CHRISTMAS

An acoustic guitar holiday, decorated with lovely finger style guitar, mandolin, and dulcimer. Imagine "It's a Wonderful Life" serenely painted fom the plains, creating a rural ambience gentle in mood. These traditional songs are a unique yuletide decoration of sound that deeply touches the heart. "Adams' instrumental interpretations of traditional Christmas fare are simple, peaceful, and evocative.. serene meditative acoustic melodies that avoid the usual holiday vices" 4 STARS Gary Panetta ..................Peoria Journal Star

IN THE LAND WHERE I COME FROM

Paul's album brings beat, song, and poetry together with "bop" and mysticism. The range runs from Jazz to ethereal Tibet, and offers one a sense of swing and hope, that runs through time and space. Dave Hoffman blows an absolutely phenomanal trumpet over Adams' scat poem I Wanna Dance and Kit Watkins' ( From Happy The Man and Camel ) magical solo on the tune Cowboy ( Adams' "ode" to old progressive rock masters. ) is like an elf on ice skates. Other guests include Dr. Kyle Gregory who also blew some great horn, Doug Knecht on mandolin , and Mark Smith on drums and percussion.

A VIEW FROM THE PLAIN

A stunning portrayal of the prairie that takes Acoustic Finger Style Guitar into uncharted territory. "Full bodied flamenco, southern dobro blues, a touch of Jazz, moving hymns, and beautiful melodies are punctuated by a remarkable variation of Pachelbel's Canon ( beautifully done with guitar, Harmonica and strings. )." The album has reached radio's TOP TEN in Toronto Canada and Heartsong Review Magazine called Adams' work "a delightful and beautiful album whose musical intensity is awesome!' Carol Wright. NAPRA Trade Review Magazine.

VARIOUS WAVES

A melodic blend of acoustic and electronic music that beautifully connects elements of New Age, Etherial, Folk, Ethnic, and Nature. It was rated in the Top Five, and called "the sleeper album of the year!" by Musical Starstreams Radio (The largest commercially syndicated instrumental radio program in America!). Imaginary voyage radio on NPR says, "the concept is brilliant... feeling shifts from song to song offering a variety of moods with a seamless continuity!" "Adams may be one of the most important New Age persnalities since George Winston" SAN JOSE, Ca METRO

THE PROPERTY OF WATER

"This album is built of contrasting elements reconciled in musical harmony. Natural and electronic sounds, water waves and sound waves, instruments of silicon and instruments of wood. This is music motivated by love of the power of sound, not by love of power over sound. Very restful !! Peaceful!! Headphones recommended!!" Laurie Spiegel Pioneering computer music sound designer Gentle, meditative, serene......"One of the best albums of the year!!"...................Wind and Wire Magazine THE PROPERTY OF WATER is aimed toward those who need to slow down.

FLUTE MEDITATIONS FOR DREAMING CLOUDS

Throughout the years I have become a lover of the deep resonance of the Native American Flute. AND, I'm deeply moved that this beauty touches us through many years of their mistreatment. THIS beauty is open, forgiving, AND touches us, and helps us in a healing way. My particular journey for this album was to focus on the healing aspects of the instrument, and to urge us to be gentle to ourselves. I also wanted to explore some of the boundaries by including middle eastern as well as the Native American Pentatonic scale.
