Ian Rushton: All That You Need

Ian Rushton’s debut album is a collection of 11 original piano-based instrumentals. Recorded in his bedroom in 2002 and mastered by David Macquarie at Studio 301 in Australia, Rushton has a developed a piano style that falls somewhere in between Pierre Wauters and Richard Clayderman and is a tribute to self taught keyboard players and DIYers everywhere. Rushton composed, performed and programmed all of the tracks with the exception of the guitar solo (a highlight and aural relief) on Shakuhachi which was performed by Bob Melanson. Throughout the album there are additional 'nature sounds’ provided by Peter Forster of Star Sound Music that seem completely superfluous and detract from the otherwise fairly well executed arrangements, but then maybe I might need an aura adjustment or possibly more tofu. If you enjoyed Pierre Wauters 'Nouveau Piano’ then add this to your shopping list.
