      On this evocative disc of instrumental music, dulcimer player Ken Kolodner is assisted by guitarist Robin Bullock and fiddle player Laura Risk (of Cordelia's Dad). Walking Stones includes several traditional Irish and Scottish pieces as well as a number of original compositions. Subtitled A Celtic Sojourn, the album does indeed give a listener the feeling of going on a journey, mainly because of the otherworldliness of the material and the ethereal quality of the hammer dulcimer. From the dancing rhythms of "Father Kelly's," "The Bornish Polka," and "Reel Beatrice" to the gentle delicacy of "Clock Waltz," "Princess Beatrice," and the title track, this music is nothing short of beautiful. There are more than 30 pieces in all, most quite short; however, they are arranged on the CD to flow smoothly one to the next, so the briefness of the songs is never distracting. --Genevieve Williams

      5 out of 5 stars Walking Stones is a pure delight.......1999-12-09

      Ken Kolodner is one of the modern masters of the hammered dulcimer, but this CD is much more than a great dulcimer recording -- it's a great *folk* recording. Along with the expressive fiddling of Laura Risk and the guitar and cittern wizardry of Robin Bullock, Kolodner presents old standards and modern compositions in arrangements that are inventive and expressive, going far beyond standard jam session fare, and giving the impression of a larger ensemble without benefit of overdubbing. It's hard to pick standout cuts, but my favorites are "Dances De Foins/Reel Beatrice/Pierre N'As Pas De Culotte," a firey set of Canadian reels, and "Ian Robertson," one of the loveliest slow airs to come around in a long time. This is one of those albums that bears up to repeated listening, and would be a fine addition to any folk music collection.

      4 out of 5 stars Beautiful pieces.......1999-11-02

      A very nice CD. The tracks stick to Celtic conventions and are well executed.

      5 out of 5 stars The reissue of Martland's second recording for Factory - an exciting disc.......2007-01-06

      This is the reissue by Catalyst, a label from Bmg, of Factory 366, the second of this label's long-play CDs (there was at least a 12" CD as well) devoted to the music of Steve Martland. The first was Factory 266, with Babi Yar and Drill (see my review), released in 1989, which made a big splash then and established the composer's controversial reputation - not only because of his music but also because of his rock-star appearance on the disc's cover-art. This one was recorded in 1991 and released in July 1992. The notes give an extensive overview of the history of the cult and now defunct Manchester-based, mostly rock-devoted Factory label and its relation with Martland, but not much info on the works themselves, other than the basics about first performances: dates, venues and performers. There is also a rather comical blurb by Martland, by which we are made to understand that the man feels guilty of being a composer rather than having a "real" job - or rather, no job at all, as apparently everybody else from the working class in Great Britain. The reasons for his compositional stance are made clearer, I guess: bring the music to the masses, to assuage your guilt of not being part of them. Strange that composers should feel apologetic for what they are. Mathematicians never do, do they?

      The pieces on the disc were composed between 1985 (American Invention) and 1991 (Crossing the Border). Crossing the Border is the longest piece on the disc (23:44), and Principia is the shortest (3:05). Martland must have a special fondness for the latter - a merry dance-like piece reminiscent of Steve Reich, based on the repetition of simple rhythmic and melodic cells - as he re-recorded it twice with his Steven Martland Band, once as part of the "Patrol" CD and then again on "Horses of Instructions" (Black Box" - see my reviews), which also contains a re-make of "Re-mix", a funny, demented takeoff of Marin Marais `Sonnerie de Sainte Geneviève du Mont.

      Among the three more lengthy and substantial compositions on this disc,"Crossing the Border" is written for string orchestra. Starting with a canon of rugged, slashing, fast-moving chords in the strings' high registers over a slowly moving and harmonically simple ground bass, it brings to mind the music for strings of Britten and Tippett (but without their subtlety and sound invention) as well is the kind of music written by the Goreckis, Part, Kanchelis and other neo simplistiks which seem to have swarmed the contemporary music scene in the last twenty years, but after 12:00 the piece builds up to a more typically Martlandesque pounding of chords reminiscent of (but not as rhythmically complex as) Stravinsky's Sacre. It ends with mysterious, hushed, vibrato-less dirge evocative of some medieval funeral music or Schubert's Death & the Maiden string quartet theme. The music is easy to listen to and agreeable to hear, maybe a little too much so for nourishment, but it does elicit a sense of mounting exhilaration.

      "American Invention" is very typical of Martland, with its borrowings from rock & free-jazz, its pounding chords on complex, hocketing rhythms and its blend of classical and rock instruments (electric guitar and drums), recalling another master of cross-over, the German Heiner Goebbels. It produces thrilling energy and tension. And the same can be said of "Shoulder to Shoulder", in which echoes of Varèse (in its constant repetition of brassy rhythmic cells) and Stravinsky (whiffs of The soldier's Tale, the Concerto for piano and winds, the Ebony concerto for clarinet and jazz combo, as well as his later, serial pieces) can be heard.

      This is good Martland disc - better, in my opinion, than the two subsequent ones: "Patrol" (Catalyst) and "Horses of Instruction" (Black Box). But if you have only one, go rather for the thrilling Babi Yar/Drill (Factory - reissued by Catalyst).
