Although Deborah Martin's Deep Roots, Hidden Water album was released back in 2004, it's an absolute must for that gap in your record collection that has been pleading for superior instrumental arrangements coupled with incredibly perceptive production work. It is not an album that you can listen to once and walk away from. Deborah's music clings to you; hugs and caresses you, and then leaves you enriched and a touch wiser for the experience.

The gliding string-dominant melodies and beautifully realized string orchestrations are incredibly inviting and within a very short time indeed, you are no longer in your armchair but rather in the seemingly natural, yet intricately crafted timeless landscapes that Deborah has transcribed for you. These landscapes can be haunting on occasion, spectacularly rich and vibrant on others, but it is within the cleverly delivered skill that embraces the instruments that you'll find your enchantment.

Deep Roots, Hidden Water is a magnificent release, you can find it gleaming at Spotted Peccary and elsewhere and as there are lots of reasons to buy this album; ten beautifully composed reasons, all you really have to do is Press Play.
