From Rhumba Rhythms to Orchestral Flights, once again
Lush is Wynne Alexander's favorite paint brush.




Wynne's latest CD appears here with comments,
liner notes if you will, by the Artist and writer

Béatrice Darget

Her art work

has appeared in exhibitions and magazines in France and attracted the attention of some very discerning critics and patrons.


Béatrice Darget: "I am writing this from my home near the Ocean in southern France. The songs on this CD are ten nomadic roses. I love how they traveled across the ocean, through many countries arriving here in their enchanting state, touching me in Europe, as they have many others all over the World.


It is a very great talent that can appeal to people on so many levels...a great communicator who can transcend borders and alleged cultural boundaries. And then again maybe it's just someone who allows for the flow...
I sit and wonder

B. Darget

I cannot understand why she is not a household name. I cannot understand how we have let our musical purveyors and arbiters be so taken over by people who clearly know very little. Their lack of knowledge is only surpassed by their lack of taste. Why talent like this is not known through out a World so obviously starving for quality is beyond me. It is one more reason that we must all Take Back the Night.

Wynne and other people with talents and priorities like hers are the hope of a unified World. A World no longer dominated by spiritually passe games of greed, but one of cultural embraces and amelioration. A World bound together by commonly-held Ideals of excellence, artistic achievement and Enlightenment.


A World where Blessings are free to grow and enrich everyone who can recognize their Goodness."

1. Didn't You Say You Love Me_________3:57


Darget: Wynne's extraordinary voice and rhythms combine here for an undulating excursion. The lyrics raise questions not heard since Ain't that Peculiar and stuffs it in the face of our more shallow, chintzy fellow members of society.
A very flamboyant piece...



2. Using Me_________ 4:05


Darget: Extremely Powerful and yet mysterious. Beauty--like two ebony horses attached to a coach, the galloping through the night. Every note, every beat, every second heightens the feeling. Another signature Alexander ending--you've got to hear it--it's a very mean Rhumbal [rumble]. The paved road sparking under hammering horseshoes.
So chic.


3. Nightwood______5:10

[Robert's Theme]_______


Darget: This song gives me "Du pur bonheur" (pure happiness) but one made of Bittersweet Chocolate, espresso coffee. The story it weaves is touchable, touching you yes- but literally moving you as well. No wonder Drummer and Renaissance man, Robert Lee chose it as his song.
PROBONOFONE Drummer Robert Lee: "This song is my Heart. I take it every where. It's been with me everywhere, even before Wynne wrote it. I don't know how she did it. It captures and evokes everything in my life, the toughest, the best, the most moving. It's one of those classic instrumentals upholding the best tradition of the BarKays, Booker T and The MGs, Junior Walker and the Allstars, The Meters, The Crusaders, Al Kent, King Curtis, the Prysocks, even Sly, all the great instrumentals you used to hear on the radio because great instrumentation used to matter to Funk and Rock commerical radio."


4. Problem in the Land_________ 4:38


Darget: This song is a badly needed Protest Song targeting the immense commercial controls taking over our world. Question Authority-hell- while you're at it question the garbage you're being sold every minute of the day on that fabulous tube in your living room. It's a much needed attack against naked emperors and horribly inept leaders of society.



5. Mezzmeric_________ 3:43


Darget: Very elegant. Very Cinematic-but in the context of a symphony orchestra. Mezzmeric gives you some knowledge of Angels. Wynne should now write the movie...



6. What the World Calls Real_________ 5:00


Darget: Just like a disturbing, mutinous and heady perfume. Dashing. Spirited. Masterful.



7. If You Don't Want to See Me I Don't Care
'Cause I Don't Want to See You
_________ 3:49


Darget: A smile is playing on my lips. I'm in Love with this one--simply in Love. Once again Wynne's motto of "those who can [play ]-- SHOULD" -- is in full force here. A solo to prove her performances are worth leaving home for.
This is Boogie Woogie. It's sophisticated. It's Blues.
This is lapis lazuli.



8. Didn't You Say___Instrumental___ 2:11


Darget: Just listen...If you're not moving, if it doesn't move you, your dance card is busted. Very cool with the vocals dropped out.



9. Should You Find Yourself_________4:38


Darget: Languidly charming, impossible to escape that spell. It carries you to a distant land right in the middle of another epoch. It's Inspired.
An instance of Harmony and Grace.



10. World Calls Real___Instrumental___4:58


Darget: I'm so glad Wynne dropped the vocal tracks out and allowed me to focus on the music, the instruments, everything they are saying, how she chose to say it. It's a very thought provoking contrast pointing up what we heard and what we thought we heard.
This is after all, often a world of too much illusion.
