This music is cross-genre and composed of nature sounds with guitars and synthesis. It is visionary and inspiring. Each CD has it's own theme. I try to paint pictures, and tell stories with my music.

Reviews Of My CDs in General:

Dean Drennan has an impressive amount of self produced albums and what's even more impressive is, there is not a bad song on any of them. This masterful composer blends real world sounds with new aged style music to create the most relaxing and refreshing compositions that I've heard. Some of the music transmits a nice jazz feel from the music which is communicated in a whole new light. The real world sound are of trickling brooks, ocean waves, birds and all sorts of peaceful sounds. The music that accompanies these sounds is an inspirational blend of guitars, synthesizers, and everything in between. Each album has it's own uniqueness and originality. All of the songs on each album seem to present a theme. Dean is the type of composer who paints beautiful images with his music while allowing the listener to drift off in a state of bliss. Each and every album is professionally mastered so that nothing gets in the way of the listeners peaceful journeys. Most of the songs on this collection of albums are instrumentals, but the song that stands out in my mind the most is the song "Memory from Beyond (Through Clouds)" from the "Remembrances" album. The poetic lyrics to this song are sad yet uplifting at the same time. The feeling that Dean conveys with his music is indescribable. These are all albums that you must hear to appreciate. I have never felt more at peace from listening to music than I have with this music.

Review Of "Passage To Eden" (2000)

Artist: Dean Drennan
Title: Gathering Of The Tribes
Label: Firecloud Productions
Genre: New Age
Website: www.firecloudproductions.com

The thing that I always loved about the music that Dean Drennan creates is the shear beauty of it. Dean uses his natural surroundings to create music that is so peaceful and refreshing, it relaxes every part of you mind, body and soul. Whether it' the sounds of birds or a trickling stream flowing along to the tranquil sounds of Dean's uplifting journeys, you can allow your mind to drift away with the music.

Passage to Eden is the perfect title of this double CD collection of inspirational masterpieces. The music is always uplifting and leaves the impression of good feeling with you. Some of the compositions on this album are progressive movements that last over 10 minutes, but your journey makes the time simply fly by. You'll definitely wish that they were longer. I've had the pleasure of hearing most of Deans work and I have to say that Passage to Eden is the album that sums it all up. It's Dean Drennan at his best.
