Reaching Out Looking In is the latest release from Paul Melnychuck. This ambitious project was recorded and refined, "15 minutes at a time," over a 20-year period, while Paul worked to commercialize many digital media products used commonly by consumers today. His timely, introspective lyrics reflect the complexities of corporate life, as heard on Reorganize Me and Friendly Fire, and all of the songs showcase Paul's penchant for moody jazz- and world-informed arrangements. If you like alternative pop/rock, the sonic textures of Peter Gabriel, the horn sound of the band Chicago, ELP, modal jazz, prog, and the indigenous music of Western Africa, Egypt, India, China, and Bali, you will appreciate this.
