New compilation album out now on Drifting Falling. It has a few tracks from the first album "Spruce Goose", a few from "Solina Sea" and a couple that have never been released. I have put 2 tracks on my page for a listen. You can buy it here... http://www.driftingfalling.com/ There is some excellent stuff on this label, well worth checking out their other releases.
Here is a review from Norman Records...
"Gareth Dickson had an album out called 'Spruce Goose' a few years back and it was always a steady seller for us, mainly down to it having an atmospheric beauty that many folksters & acoustic types don't quite muster. He's quite a master at combining acoustic resonance & ambient moods. His style is definitely schooled in the shadow of Nick Drake whilst this warm echo-laden aura permeates his atmospheric plucking, strumming and thumbing, almost creating an additional instrument from his bare surroundings. His voice, employed intermittently, is hushed and melancholy, almost an afterthought to his playing which is gently exploratory, extremely calming and fascinatingly tentative with the sounds of the studio such as the creak of a chair becoming much a part of the overall tapestry. This is one of the loveliest modern acoustic works I've heard and the fact is I'm taking one home to soothe my weary post bank holiday bonce tells you I heartily recommend its magical purity. Collected Recordings is CD only on Drifting Falling."
