Levi Chen • Alhambra 15 Tracks • 76 Minutes © 2001 Yin Yang Records

With Alhambra, his seventh album, Levi Chen's unique sonic vision has evolved to include the acoustic guitar. Eleven original songs and renditions of four timeless melodies highlight Levi’s lyrical approach to composing and arranging. The unique instrumentation combined with strong composition give Alhambra a truly original sound. Half of the album is a progressive acoustic ensemble with a strong elemental quality, and the other half the classic lush and sensuous lyricism of Levi’s electric guitar, both solo and ensemble.

"Lush soundscapes balanced by enthralling melodies...
Levi Chen's 'Alhambra' is an exotic melange of tonal tapestries
delicately woven with loving care and breathtaking attention to sonic details.
His devotion to his art carries the tone possibilities of the Fender Stratocaster into new realms.”
Bear, The New Age Sampler/WWSP

"...few have brought together the ages like string virtuoso Levi Chen
...spinning dreamy clouds filled with echoes and eerie twang as if
Pink Floyd had been produced by Confucius...."
Mike Bell, Vancouver Echo
