David Lanz & Paul Speer-Natural States (1985)

David Lanz and Paul Speer published in 1985 one of the best works of the "new age" genre, already a classic of this style, it also became one of the biggest hits on the Narada label.
Before, David Lanz had achieved great success with "Cristofori´s Dream" years ago and with his albums "Heartsounds" and "Nightfalls".
This virtuoso pianist would join guitarist and producer Paul Speer in the mid-eighties and together they began to explore other, more electronic sounds.
Thus was born "Natural States" that thanks to a fantastic melodic base of electronic keyboards and piano together with the hypnotic sounds of electric guitars make up an unforgettable album.
Moments like the delicious "Behind the Waterfall", a melody that has been broadcast thousands of times and that has been the tune of TV programs, the energetic "Miranova", the melancholic "Faces of the forest", the atmospheric "Allegro 985" or the ethereal "First Light", culminate one of the genre's masterpieces and one of the best albums of the 20th century.
