John Catney
is an electronic composer of new-age music equipped with a striking
gift for melody.
Stories in Music (2006) is a parade of hummable themes, from
Sterfon Meets The Coz, that mimicks
instrumental easy-listening music of the 1960s,
to the folk-ish rhapsody Appalachian Morning,
to the neo-classical lied Sailing The Sea,
to the light piano fantasia of Nights In Alaska.
Daywalker (2006) is a tribute to jazz music, but it sacrifices too
much of Catney's melodic skills to the rhythmic and orchestration grandeur.
Catney recovers part of his melodic flair in the festive trilogy of
The Bass-ics, The Streets of Oakland and The Maulden Bros
but most of the rest is second-rate lounge music.
The eight-minute ballad The Stylist might entertain the soft-jazz crowd.
