Up Close: Embrace
While The Scent of Light is Ottmar Liebert + Luna Negra's first studio album featuring the band since 2004's La Semana, the recording picks up on the spacial sensibility of the recent binaural CD Up Close by spreading the ... more »sound across the full stereo field to create superb listening depth. While Ottmar has stepped away from the recent minimalism of his 2007 Grammy nominated solo album One Guitar, you still sense the high resolution, beautiful clarity, and live combo dynamic. It's a layered recording, with the multiple guitars, basses, keyboards & percussion subtly exchanging altitude, rooms, and dimensions. The excellent detailing and positioning leaves a lot of space for the imagination to roam, resulting in a big sound, big pictures, big stories.« less

"I turn my cable tv station to the soundscape channel when I want to relax and I have been finding that a lot of beautiful music I would not normally hear on the radio or tv or otherwise is on this channel. I dont know who this man is but he is very talented and touches the soul. This is one of the best albums I have ever heard in my life and it made me feel so good. I am buying them for Xmas gifts to give to friends."

"Ottmart Liebert music is usually a pleasure to listen to. An this last album is among the best he has realeased along with Winter Rose, Poets and Angels. He understand the music and the "moods" that goes with it. A must listen to."

"Ottmar does it again. The sounds are crisp and the tempo is one of a kind. I never get tired to listening to this cd. A big fan and it's nice to hear without the brass this time around. Highly recommended!"

"I first heard of Ottmar Liebert a few years ago from The Sharper Image guitar compilation album but never really looked for his albums. These past few weeks I've been searching for his albums not finding much luck with FYE or Best Buy. I got this album from Amazon and was very pleased and surprised. Silence: No More Longing is perhaps one of my favorite tracks. An excellent album to chill out and relax to."
