Opal Fire - Omar
Akram
List Price: $14.95
Exotic flavors are woven together brilliantly on songs with haunting melodies which take flight and soar with expansive orchestrations and passionate rhythyms. And in more soothing moments, Opal Fire is equally amazing in its ability to evoke an emotional response in a beautifully serene way.

Reviews
"It's not new age, it's not NAC, it's not
lite jazz, it's not Jim Horner, it's not Vangelis.
A very skillful craftsman, Omar takes the best
from each without taking anything from any of
them and creates a keyboard driven tour de force
that takes you somewhere else entirely. As comfortable
as your favorite old chair but fresh as a spring
breeze, these charming soundscape songs are like
mini-movies for your ear. This tasty sonic treat
is sure to become a treasured companion on the
commute, the jogging trail or for those moments
when you need to be alone and wrap your head in
something de-stressing and wonderful."
~ Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap
"Clearly a fan of lyrical melodies that have a beginning, middle and end, Omar spins musical stories of love, loss and redemption, tales that open the heart and touch the soul... Omar plays piano and keyboards throughout Opal Fire. David Dial contributes synthesizers as well as handling the arrangements and orchestrations. For an exotic adventure with ports of call from the Caribbean to Europe to the Middle East, be sure to spend some quality time with the incendiary Opal Fire."
