Review I was completely blown away by this album! In trying to convey a sense of joy and optimism, you've hit the nail on the head. The CD really shows how you've grown through the years to arrive at this point musically. I love the remix of Truth, there are so many elements of your past music in there and brought into the present perfectly. To me, this CD is the epitome of NewAge music. --Kevin Waterman, The Cosmic Island1980s Billboard-charting New Age phenom Davol returns with a new collection of feel-good, instrumental electronic pop that, like the album's title, is a Good Sign that synthesizer-based New Age music is alive and well and here to stay in the 2010s. From beginning to end, the album is anchored down by infectious, rhythmic sampled bass and percussion grooves over which Davol adds multiple layers of keyboard melodies, textures, and flourishes. Accompanying Davol on this sonic journey is Peter Maunu, who adds his luminous guitars to the mix, resulting in pure aural delight. The most stirring tracks on the CD are the opener Scarborough Days, which has a very laidback though propulsive, cinematic, and rich and velvety Pat Metheny Group feel to it (in fact, it sounds like something off of PMG's storied Secret Story disc), and Nautikos, with its sparse but riveting keyboard melody. The title track Good Sign, Going There, and A Place Here have nice, mellow, light jazz sensibilities to them; Truth 2010 and Stay are more upbeat dance techno; Goodnight is a fitting end with Maunu's acoustic guitar and Davol's keyboard coming together for gentle balladry. Through it all, Davol maintains cohesion and solidarity with a singular style that recalls such artists as Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jan Hammer, Lyle Mays, Anthony Banks, David Wahler, and Michael Stribling. If you like those musicians, it s a Good Sign that you ll love this. --Raj ManoharanIf there's a better purveyor of superbly crafted, catchy, hook-laden electronic keyboard & pop instrumental music than Davol, I haven't heard him or her. Good Sign is his follow-up to 2005's A Day Like No Other, trumping that release's greatness. The album's eight tracks of infectious, bubbly effervescence are guaranteed to elevate even the sourest of moods. No matter what musical style Davol plays in, the results are uniformly appealing and instantly engaging. From the breezy melodies of the title track, to the chill-out beats of Nautikos and ending with the sparkly iridescence of Goodnight, Good Sign is a sheer delight throughout. In-store play this CD when your customers, or even you yourself, need a lift! --Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter Reviewer
GOOD SIGN, the latest musical treasure from Davol, is a pure joy to listen to, from beginning to end. "Scarborough Days", the opening cut, instantly lifts the listener to tingling sensations of delight. You feel as if you have returned to special places from your past, the ones that lighten your current days. "Good Sign", another personal favorite, amplifies the wonderous feelings already engendered. "Going There" has just a touch of melancholy but seems to insist that one will be rewarded for the journey. "Nautikos" lushly energizes with smooth and silky musical phrases. "A Place Here" displays a pure and contemplative mood throughout. "Truth 2010" is a wonderous reimagining of his earlier piece. It builds slowly at first before bursting forth with an insistent pulse and earnest energy. "Stay" is upbeat and playful, almost defying the listener not to tap his feet, nod his head, or finally just get up and move in a celebratory, rhythmic dance of the spirit. "Goodnight" both summarizes and concludes this musical landscape for the soul by reminding one that all pleasant journies must come to a close, however much we may want them never to end.Davol has fashioned a lovely, charming album of pure delight. The music transports a listener to places of quiet solace and profound contentment, guaranteed to renew one's life with positive feelings, sufficient to make one smile in spite of the cares of every day.
