Clifford White - The Gods of Olympus (2009) | Mythological Music, Relaxing New Age Music

A powerful and epic album which explores the great and enduring legends of Greek mythology. 14 varied tracks span over 70 minutes of superb electronic music.

"The Gods of Olympus is electronic keyboard player Clifford White’s first album in fourteen years (his previous, Myths of the Rock, was released in 1995). After listening to The Gods of Olympus, all I can say is “We should all take fourteen years off from our work if this CD indicates the quality of results we’ll achieve!”

Just as the gods of Greek mythology each had distinct traits and powers, so too do the fourteen tracks on this enjoyable excursion into state of the art electronic music each exhibit their own musical “personalities” as White crisscrosses from dramatic Vangelis-esque soundscapes to lively chill-out infectiousness to classic new age melodic portraits, all done up in rich production values and a luxuriant cinematic sense of visual splendor.

The CD spans 70+ minutes of music, so I can’t recount everything in detail. Suffice it to say that White hits the ground running and never looks back – The Gods of Olympus is a winner through and through, starting gate to finish line. From the opening strains of powerful orchestral awe on the title track (Gods of Olympus) all the way through the closing Berlin-meets-techno propulsive power of Zeus – King of the Gods, White whisks the listener away with his exemplary production values, acute ear for excellent instrumentation, and, more than anything else, his knack for unbelievably catchy melodies and infectious rhythms. Simply put, The Gods of Olympus is a solid recommendation to lovers of EM (electronic music) across the full spectrum of the genre’s styles and moods." - Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter.

"This is a DDD CD – no, not the old term used for a fully digital discs (although it probably is) – This time it stands for Dream-like – Dynamic – Dazzling!!! This is an album of music based on mankind’s fascination for Greek myth and legend – The ancient pantheon of Gods, so prepare yourself for an amazing musical trip through the historical centuries with one of the UK’s forefathers of symphonic synth music, Clifford White.

We recently re-discovered Clifford White, one of our earliest new artist successes, with a long awaited follow up to an 80’s/early 90’s best seller at CDS Towers called ‘Ascension’, and that led me to listen to some of his other more recent work, and boy, am I glad I did, because I have also discovered a real gem for everyone into the symphonic / rhythmic side of synth music!!!

Think…Gandalf, David Wright, Nick Magnus, David Arkenstone, Vangelis, Robert Fox and a bit of The Enid, and you are in the right area for the music on ‘Gods Of Olympus’.

On this album Clifford White comes over as a musician made from that same artist musical mould, with some of the finest examples of dynamic synth orchestrations I have encountered in some time." - Dave Shoesmith, CD Services. Read the full review here:
