Peter Jones Wow. Well worth the purchase. Wonderful playing and gorgeous music.

Rich Beattie A glass of rum, the fire on and this absolute gem of a record on. Loved the tone of the piano itself and could really ‘feel’ Bill’s playing come through. Beautiful melodies throughout, laid back yet with some obvious moments of real mastery of the instrument. The last track Home a really special piece to finish on, loved it.

about

"Affinity" Solo Piano Album & 8th Solo Record by Bill Laurance

Stylistically diverging from his previous solo material, Affinity centres around the constant in Bill’s diverse musical career; the piano. With previous records touching on electronic music, a solo piano record was something Bill had considered for a long time, “I've wanted to do a solo piano album for as long as I can remember. To perform solo, represents musical freedom in its purest form and there is no other setting where I feel more at home. My last studio album Cables was originally intended to be a solo piano album, but quickly morphed into something quite different involving an endless array of synthesisers and guitar pedals. This time I was determined to celebrate the instrument in all its glory, by itself.”

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid
