Review

Yosemite: Valley of the Giants is another National Park evocation from Mars Lasar, who has been creating music like this for years. His Yanni-esque electro-orchestral compositions, full of sweeping strings, seductive rhythms, and soaring melodies, are perfect for the gift shops at these sites. All he has to do is slap titles like "El Capitan," "Merced River," and "Glacier Point" on his songs and you have an instant memory. Using instrumental samples, Lasar creates an orchestra of sound from strings to flutes and percussion, and he's as good at it as anyone. "Yosemite Valley" is one of the more ominous pieces, opening up with wind and bird cries that evolve into a tribal, vaguely native rhythm topped by gothic voices. "Half Dome" is a triumphant excursion of swelling voices, tribal drums, sampled flute melodies, and, for some reason, Irish uillean pipes--all accompanied by chirping crickets. It's pleasant, but ultimately generic. --John DilibertoIt is true - our blue planet is an indescribably beautiful place, and we are merely visitors here in the last second of our cosmic calendar. Our show of respect for planet Earth, if not through music alone, can leave giant impressions upon the muddy marshes and plains to be preserved for eternity. Yosemite can be best described as a "Valley of Giants." Its' towering cliffs and awesome majesty leave millions breathless each and every year. One can only imagine the giant footprints left here as our ancestors marveled at the work created from millions of years of living earth. Join Mars Lasar as he journeys through space and time while capturing the reverence of this magical place, a musical portrait so amazingly beautiful it simply glows with love and respect for our home. Our gift to you is this music, and with your purchase, a portion of proceeds will support the Yosemite National Park.
