Visionary Music: the sweetness of heaven sings through his music. This is music to "trip" to in the most spiritual sense. Martins’ music does build that mystical bridge / Elizabeth Gibbs One may find it difficult to imagine a accomplished new age and ambient music composer coming from these distant African shores... Vasco Martins is a masterful artist of considerable originality / Ben Kettlewell Soothing tonalities wash upon a virgin beach, heralding the advent of an atmospheric mood. Rising like a mythical creature from the sea, the music remains sedate and calming with flowing textures that bring the serenity of clouds to ground. Gentle percussive add a touch of body to the drifting harmonics while never propelling the music into a rhythmic state. Delicate keyboards maintain a luminous but mellow presence throughout. Lavish use of minimal melody achieves a breezy feeling, tickled by the periodic punctuation of drums and the outcry of a blown conch shell, resounding like a distant horn announcing the arrival of dawn spirits / Matt Howarth Vasco Martins is an immensely talented keyboardist and guitarist who lives off the west coast of Africa on the islands of Cabo Verde...my highest recommendation / Bill Binkelman
