DESERT MOON – Alone with the Night

Album Release date: 26. January 2004

Desert Moon is an undiscovered gem from El Paso, TX. A band that hasn't been touched by commercialism. Their sound is a unique blend of New Age and Latin. Marisa Alexander does the vocals, Adam Schydlower does the guitar and bass, and the late Alan E. McChesney, whom the album is dedicated to, does the violin. Percussion contributions also come from Demetrius Williams and Hal Marcus, a local artist from El Paso. Their album, Alone With The Night, is as beautiful as it is emotional. In fact, the main theme of the album seems to be the expression of both. The eleven songs take you through different emotional moods such as blissful love in

"Whisper Words Of Love" and "Tide". "That You Might Live" speaks of redemption and the ultimate sacrifice in the name of love. "Desert Moon" speaks of solitude and a quest for peace. Marisa Alexander's beautiful soprano is somehow both blindingly pure and deliciously haunting, Adam Schydlower on the Spanish guitar is simply phenomenal, and Alan E. McChesney's work on the Gypsy violin is like nothing I've ever heard before. Alone With The Night has so much life and raw emotion in it that it makes one want to weep at times and dance and at others. It is this writer's opinion, beloved readers, that it takes great courage to make great music. When one writes and sings from the heart, they bear their souls to their listeners. And this is exactly what Desert Moon has done. When we listen to them, we aren't simply listening to beautiful music. We are listening to the haunting and myriad beauty of their souls. All the elements of this wonderful band combine to create some of the most beautiful and touching musical poetry I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. The musicians and their album are dazzling, passionate, striking, and beautiful. They are simply effulgent.
