Details:
A split release with Mandragora Records.

Afternoon Dream is the debut solo CD release of Paradise Camp 23
director Erik Amlee. His previous solo sitar cd-r releases have
garnered much acclaim in many quarters. Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis
declared âAmlee's skill is apparent. This piece delicately unfolds
like a linear dream about the sun's daily movement in the sky.
With little more than a hint of delay to push the movement along,
Amlee's playing is like a slow waltz at the moment the last rays of
dusk are extinguished. It is simple, beautiful, and timeless.â

On this release Amlee adds acoustic guitar to the proceedings, to
wonderful effect. Afternoon Dream is a masterful combination of trance
inducing solo sitar work and pellucid acoustic guitar pieces, with a
subversive loop or two thrown in to ensure that listeners donât merely
drift away completely into a blissful sonic netherworld.

the Eighties, Erik Amlee has performed in a variety of groups and settings
