Title: Tasty Instrumentals!
Product review: As you probably know, Mark Isham is in demand in Hollywood as a film composer. This early solo effort is notable by its minimalistic approach. So many composers throw lots of notes on the pallette - Mark uses notes & colors sparingly, and still produces a strong statement. Of particular interest on this album is his use of trumpet. Even though it's his major instrument, he chooses to use it primarily as a background instrument in many of the tracks. He also does a number of interesting things to it electronically via tape loops, overdubbing, etc - but still with taste. This is one of my favorite Isham album. And after 15+ years, it still sounds new!
