Synopsis

Album Description
"When Home Is Far Away" takes the listener on an instrumental journey through cities and seasons. With the guitar as his voice, Leong's debut album is filled with gentle tunes reflecting on winter in New York, beaches in Hawaii, and thinking about the distant sights and smells of the islands. Influenced by ki ho`alu (Hawaiian slack key), classical guitar, and fingerstyle, "When Home Is Far Away" touches several tunings and styles, while consistently staying true to the relaxing nature of Hawaii.

CD Reviews

Very soothing
Ian D. Spradling | Smyrna, DE | 08/26/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I must admit I listened to the first track and fell in love with it. I am a dedicated listener of guitar players Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and eric johnson. Darren has done a great job playing something that anyone would listen to. Sometimes words get in the way, and just listening to calming music allows you to free your mind, relax, and center yourself. Darren is a way to obtain that wonderful center again. Listen and you will not be disapointed."
Beautiful, evocative, peaceful, spiritual

"Darin has done us all a great favor in sharing his music with us. He is masterful with the guitar and his spirit comes out in the music. The result is an album that is relaxing, soothing, yet energizing...creates pictures in my mind of happy places, happy thoughts...so hard to explain. I just don't think I could ever get tired of this one. "Sunshine" has the happiest sound; "Goodnight" is a beautiful melody to end the day. My Mom was in the hospital and I brought the album to her to listen to and she absolutely LOVED it--it made her feel better and be able to imagine she was somewhere else. I can't recommend it enough. Truly, this will not disappoint. Listen at the end of a stressful day- light a candle, relax, and just breathe."
