MINSTER HILL - Capturing Clouds In A Bottle

SO much here - SO much great material, sounds and songs all over Minster Hill`s "Capturing Clouds In A Bottle". Go right now, listen to Song Sample #5 below - if you are a fan of Parthenon Huxley and don`t hear The Hux Man`s croon in the aural wonderfulness, pull those old Huxley albums out. All the material here evokes - without being overt or patronizing - the sounds of many faves to us all: Parthenon Huxley, Doug Powell, Rick Altizer, Toy Matinee, Peter Gabriel(listen song #4 below), New Radicals and even, for some odd reason, reminds of Rick Derringer`s "Guitars & Women" early 80s solo album.

It`s a special brand of commercial rock, commercial power pop, commercial AAA, adult rock that glides along effortlessly inside leader Howard Herrick`s many, many talents on display here. The imagery of the albums title is apt: The material flows and drifts over a large landscape of influences and passions of Herrick, creating images of developing shapes and feelings ---- and then disappearing into the winds of change as the next song creates its next spark. Just Pure Delight. Do NOT MISS!

OH yeah: Check out Minsters Hill`s 1999 self-titled debut on this site!
