    奧瑪 第一張彈琴說愛音樂輯
    與范吉利斯、吉姆何納等配樂大師相提並論的新生代鋼琴名家
奧瑪雖是新世紀音樂領域的新星，然而在首張個人專輯，即得到美國Billbaord新世紀樂排行榜Top 20的肯定，更讓專業媒體樂評，將他與范吉利斯、吉姆何納等配樂大師相提並論。擅用音樂說故事的奧瑪，一改新世紀音樂一貫到底的單一寧靜質感，反倒在樂曲中加入了戲劇感十足情緒轉折，讓人欣賞他的音樂，就像看完一部溫馨感人的電影。

本輯中奧瑪以明亮、清柔的觸鍵，譜出12首圍繞在愛情主題上的作品。裡頭沒有一般音樂家在描寫愛情時的沈重負荷與兒女情長，而是流露著沐浴愛河的甜蜜滋味。在鋼琴與虛擬管弦樂團綿密的交織下，彷彿讓人親歷了每段情節不同的愛戀中，享受徜徉在幸福裡滋味。


    专辑介绍：
    各种异域风情在歌曲中与经典难忘的旋律精妙地交织在一起，结合宏大的管弦乐和热情的节奏，乐音高扬激越。而在较为抒缓的乐段，Opal Fire具有同样惊人的感染力，能够以柔丽恬静的乐音唤起听者深情的共鸣。


    "On first hearing Opal Fire I was under the impression that Omar had made several new age albums because the music is very accomplished, however, it turns out that this is his debut album. I expect this to be a sure fire (if you’ll pardon the pun!) winner with the new age audience. It’s a pretty solid release that should also appeal to listeners outside of the new age genre, and though one could easily imagine it sitting in the easy listening section of record shops, it’s not bland or too sweet in nature. Comparing it to other Real Music releases I’d say it lies somewhere between Karunesh, and Kevin Kern or Danny Wright.

This is a very melodious album with piano, keyboards, and synths used to create the sounds. The style is generally romantic, which shows in the melodies and dramatic flourishes, giving a hint of a modern troubadour. Omar has injected some world music influences, which is presumably a result of his having lived in many different countries. One striking example is "Last Dance" having a melody and rhythm exuding Latin temperament and sounding something like a tango; listening to this track I could imagine Spanish dancers strutting their stuff to the music. The Latin feeling also comes in later on the piece "Gypsy Woman."

On some tracks, the pace picks up giving the music a more mainstream feel, such as in "So Far" where in parts electric guitar type effects are heard alongside an up tempo rhythm/percussion complementing nicely the piano melody and synth pads.

Though I’m not a big new age fan I can see how Opal Fire will appeal to that audience; there’s no doubt that it’s a well- crafted and spirited album with pleasing melodies. The only niggle I’d raise is that the dramatic flourishes on some tracks came across to me as being somewhat contrived, and weren’t always convincing. Overall, a worthy album.
