The rest of the pieces were written for short films of the same name ('98-'99) with the exception of Remember Me which was for a BBC Radio short story. Composed and performed by Richard Wileman (classical, electric and bass guitars, keyboards and percussion). with Ileesha Bailey (vocals), Caron Hansford (oboe, cor anglais, bassoon), Zoe King (flute, saxophone, clarinet) and Rachel Larkins (viola, violin). Recorded and Mastered at the Twenty First - 1998 - 1999. Produced by Richard Wileman. Artwork and design by Alan Read REVIEWS: This is powerful, modern music which transcends many of the 'labels' people wll try to put on it. ...The songs/pieces, call them what you will, can for the most part be only described as 'beautiful'. Kev Rowland, Feedback This is seriously good and satisfying gear.... This is one very strong album that deserves lots and lots of attention due to the plain and simple fact that there is some truly inspired and beautiful music here. More haunting than Borley Rectory. Dave W, Modern Dance. www.modern-dance.co.uk An excellent album - the compositions are well put together, interesting and highly listenable and Ileesha has a great voice. I strongly recommend that you go to the Karda Estra website, download some of the music and check it out for yourself. Marisa, New Horizons. http://www.elrose.demon.co.uk Absolutely beautiful job on your CD. The compostions are mature, the production flawless. Good show! Don Campau - http://lonelywhistle.tripod.com The combination of samples, violins, oboe and/or clarinet delivers wonderful soundscapes without falling into the trap of new age even once. John “Bo Bo” Bollenberg/Progressive World - http://www.progressiveworld.net/kardaestra.html ....enchanting music... so different moods are evoked to keep the whole interesting enough, and the melodies are in a way similar, but never boring. Subtle music. Jurriaan Hage / Axiom Of Choice http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~jhage/progrock.html ...a brilliant architecture plenty of imagination. In all, this is indeed an album that will no doubt appeal to a wide audience, given its imaginative nature as well as its conceptual originality.
