It is my honor to announce that Terje Rypdal’s Melodic Warrior, a masterpiece commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and featuring Rypdal on electric guitar fronting two separate orchestras, will include liner notes by yours truly. You can pre-order your copy from Amazon here, or from your vendor of choice. In the meantime, I encourage you to check out a sample. Now the question is: How am I going to write a review for this one?


Great news Tyran! It’s been a dream of mine to be asked by the ECM folks to do something like liner notes since I began listening/buying their output now since the 1970’s and it ‘aint happened to ME yet!!! I hope you will post them here once you’ve written them!
I will certainly post them as the US release date approaches, along with my review 🙂
It’s about time the Munich brain trust tapped into the community they’ve created. They couldn’t have picked better. Congratulations!
Great news – I look forward to it!
