Michael Brook is a Canadian guitarist, producer, and sound-track creator. His musical peak was reached in 1992 with the release of his stunning record: "Cobalt Blue" (and the follow-up recording "Live at the Aquarium", also recorded in 1992). On these two albums Michael Brook reached a dizzy height of music creation which few other artists in the 1990's have been able to match. "Cobalt Blue" is a supurb record. Nearly every track is standout music and some of the tracks are absolutely perfect: "Urbana", "Ultramarine", and "Lakbossa" being the three best. This is guitar music, alternately driven then abstract. Sometimes it just shimmers in the moonlight, other times it cuts accross time like a knife, the notes hard and brilliant like saphires in the sun. This is music that is a joy to listen to. Somehow it challenges you to think, to follow the line of the melody as a weaves in and out of the surrounding fabric of supporting musical lines.
