Customer Rating:      Summary: Heroic music to build a story on Comment: As a fan of David Arkenstone's, I look forward to every new venture. There have been a few klunkers in his past, but this isn't one of them.
This is typical Arkenstone, admittedly, and he uses a lot of familiar riffs and themes, but I got from it what I wanted; a good, solid musical sojourn, something to inspire me as I write. Although in a previous work, "Atlantis", he held to a common enough line that you could easily envision Atlantis in its entirety, "Myths" skips around; it's a march by ancient soldiers through the mountains; it's a swashbuckling pirate battle on the high seas; it's a tucked-away corner of a castle, with a courtier fingering a lute.
Mr Arkenstone's music lends itself to tone (and tune) poems, freeing the imaginative mind to flights of fantasy that nobody else, currently, seems capable of. His music is the perfect foil for a bad day at work; as I've said, I use it a lot to write by, but it's pretty good as just something to ease off the pressures of everyday living. And "Myths" delivers. I'm glad I added it to my library.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Glad I bought this used! Comment: Glad I bought this used. The 3 disc set sounds nice but not really necessary. Disc 1 is music only. Disc 2 requires a second CD player and speaker, like a boom box. I don't know about other people, but I'm not inclined to go to the trouble to even listen to the second disc. Disc 3 is a DVD with nothing really genuinely worth watching.
The music has a few Arkenstone moments but nothing that we've not heard before; and, frankly I'm getting tired of the Celtic pieces - Arkenstone is much more creative than that.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Album Comment: It takes some work to get the sound synchronized perfectly for the two disks. I eventually ripped both discs to my computer and mixed them together into a DTS CD. After that it was a matter of putting that into my DVD player and enjoying it easily through my surround sound system (as a bonus, I was able to put both discs together in stereo for my mp3 player).
A unique album and a great presentation. The bonus DVD is also very nice.
Customer Rating:      Summary: myths and legends Comment: greetings from slovenia
i hope we are gona here some more music like this in near future
my value of this album its 10 on the scale of five
hope he will continue this work
Customer Rating:      Summary: Brilliant! Comment: IMO, this is David Arkenstone's best outing since leaving Narada.
If his older recordings (I have EVERYTHING he has ever recorded including Trokia) were available in 5.1 SACD, I'd buy every one of them again in an instant.
Buy this, you will be happy!
Regards,
Jan
