ACROSS THE SILVER RIVER

Somehow this excellent collaboration released in 2002 on the Groove Unlimited Label slipped under our radar, but now we are happy to have a few in stock to offer here...

When New Zealander Rudy Adrian sent some of his new music to Ron Boots in the Netherlands, Boots was so taken by the tranquillity and the power of the music that he was inspired to add parts of his own to the tracks. "Across the Silver River" is the result of that creative conjunction.
