Shekinah

Description

The self-titled album by the American acoustic rock duo Shekinah (Paul McKenzie and Bruce Labadie) was released on Eden Records in 1982. The album was produced by Mike Kuzma.

The stunningly beautiful spacey music of Shekinah (Paul McKenzie and Bruce Labadie) would seem to have come from another world. Seldom has an acoustic duo resounded with such depth and mysterious beauty, with wind chimes, bell tree, harmonics, chamberlain (like a mellotron) and haunting harmonies all contributing to that otherworldly quality. Moods range from the classical guitar John Michael Talbot tone of «Let Me Want You», to the eerie dissonance of «I Am Come Nigh», to the cascading flanged electric guitar of «Jesus’ Eyes». Spotlight goes to the majestic 7-minute «Christ, Lord, Messiah». Brilliant guitar work throughout and magnificent fiery sun cover painting. Five stars easily. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
