Percussion from Ireland to India, Native American and bansuri flutes, harps and horns create musical mystery and adventure. Evocative and sublime, these sonic landscapes will transport the listener into the enigmatic domain where f?ries reign.
Compositions by David Arkenstone.
The realm of f?ries is filled with enchantment and exquisite delight - a magical world sprinkled with mystery and whimsy where anything is possible.
We hear echoes of f?ries' laughter and wisdom in tales from the world over. From a beautiful star maiden of the Ojibwa, a mysterious wish-granting spirit on a Japanese mountain, to two capricious ice f?ries from the Himalayas, each of these legends tells how the threads of magic and nature are woven into the fabric of our human lives.
Inspired by these f?ry tales, Troika has created ethereal and sublime musical adventures that will transport you to the provocative and mystical domain of f?ries.

Troika is ostensibly a trio of musicians who choose to remain anonymous, but the compositions are credited to David Arkenstone, and a quick listen to the sound design reveals this is none other than David Arkenstone himself, working under a pseudonym. Earlier Troika releases mirrored Arkenstone's penchant for overblown synthesizer orchestrations, so it's no coincidence that Troika's latest reveals the native rhythms and flutes that Arkenstone is currently exploring under still another alias, Animá. Like that group, Troika serves up tribal-trance grooves with flute melodies, tuned percussion samples, and a swirl of synthesizer ambiences. Arkenstone's penchant for heroic, cinematic synthesizer strings assures that his version of trance won't be found on a dance floor, yet tracks such as "Crossing the Light" explore a more contemporary vocabulary with metallic sequences laid against a tribal percussion groove. Arkenstone still has a predilection for the obvious, including the "Indian" drumbeats and chants, Gregorian and native. But Troika's faux exotica has its charms, including sweeping melodies and seductive rhythms. With Animá and Troika, David Arkenstone is doing his best music in years. If only he'd put it out under his own name. --John Diliberto

这是 David Arkenstone 大卫·阿肯斯通 的 Troika 系列的第五张专辑，名叫《Kingdom Of The Sun 太阳王国》。秉承了他一贯的美妙绝伦的编曲和演奏。其中好几曲给我留下了深刻的印象，特别首曲与专辑封面互相呼应的《The Chariot 战车》那扑面而来的热情气息，让人几乎感受到了《Kingdom Of The Sun 太阳王国》应有的温度。整张专辑的曲目排列给人感觉是由热情到冷峻、由高亢到深沉、由天空到海底，听到最后两曲《God of the Sea 海神》和《God of the Shadows 暗影之神》的时候，我的心似乎都随之向海底深处下沉、下沉……好在中间还有柔美空灵的《Sister Of The Sun 太阳姐妹》和《Goddess Of Love 爱情女神》做过渡，才使得这种下沉感不至于太过突然。
总的来说，《Kingdom Of The Sun 太阳王国》是一张很棒的专辑，David Arkenstone 大卫·阿肯斯通 在制作过程中发挥了他应有的水平，用总共10支乐曲为我们建造了一个天马行空的幻想国度——灿烂辉煌、气势恢宏、深沉厚重的太阳王国。（转：西尔德斯神话)
