I was wondering, does anyone know anything about Dashiell Rae. Any information
about this pianist would be interesting. I hope maybe someone from the UK
reads this since after all Coda was (is?) a UK based label.
Thanks,
Jan-Olov

I tried to get Rick Wakeman's 'Country Airs', which is the first of
a trilogy of New Age piano solo albums, some time ago. I was told by
someone
who seemed to know (he knew this off the top of his head) that the label
had
gone bust and all of its albums out of print. If you want some of
Wakeman's
work, then the second and third albums of similar music are called "Sea
Airs"
and "Night Airs" respectively and are on the French record label President.
They are available here in Australia, so they should be avaiable
elsewhere.
But isn't Dashiell Rae a vocalist, and uses overdubbed voices as the
sole "instrument" on that album??

Yes, the label doesn't exist any more. I've been told that too. I've bought all
of my albums from this label second hand except perhaps for the Rick Wakeman
album, which was my first Coda Landscape series release. I'll look for the other
two but I'm afraid that availability in Australia doesn't always imply availability
in Sweden :-(!

As I said, I have bought the Dashiell Rae album and know perfectly well that
she (?) is a pianist. I think you might be thinking of Claire Hamill's album
"Voices", which is also part of the Landscape series. She uses only overdubbed
voices and creates a very original album. Recommended!
Regards,
Jan-Olov
PS. Still noone knows anything about Dashiell Rae? Where does she come from?
Is this her debut album? Has she recorded anything after this one?
