'Shadow of the Wind' began its life as the score to a silent movie. Commissioned
by BBC Radio Derby's Ashley Franklin to compose the music for the Valentino silent classic
The Son of the Sheik, Bekki set to
work writing music with an Eastern feel to it.
Hailed as a "dramatic and deeply satisfying progression from Elysian Fields"
by Ashley Franklin and a "masterpiece of symphonic electronic music" by Eurock's
Archie Patterson, 'Shadow of the Wind' was the best-selling CD of 1997 in Derby's Midas
Chart.
Tracks from the album have also been featured on several compilation albums. Like Elysian Fields before it, 'Shadow of the Wind', has been
featured on the German Schwingungen CD's. It also ranked in the top 10 of many radio
playlists from both Europe and the USA during 1997 and 1998.
Originally called 'Sirocco', (this name was dropped because of the connotations with
the VW car of the same name), 'Shadow of the Wind' continues to receive regular airplay
and excellent reviews world-wide. Bekki's favourite track is 'Azmara' - she likes the way
it 'flows' and the fact that the melody is, in her opinion, one of her strongest and most
memorable. |
