"Fabulous music, wonderful CD...."

Product Description:
Baby-boomer Randy Fulk adds X and "WHY?" generation cousins Matt and Eli Myers a.k.a. Concrete Frogs and Mary Huff queen of SCOTS backing vocals to his second new all original songs album. Produced by Grammy© nominated producer, Mark Williams which blends electric bass, digital drums, conga drums, keyboards, acoustic guitar, acoustic slide guitar, cello, fiddle and mandolin along with Randy’s rich tenor and falsettos, creates a full other worldliness sound. This stuff is GOOD.

Empty Spaces is great Christian Americana folk with country tinges.

"Empty Spaces is a real gem of excellent writing. Interesting, to say the least, image laden, thoughtful, spiritual, intriguing, positive, off the beaten path, and at times quite profound. One of the things I use to evaluate musical lyrics is if they give me what I call "mind movies." Anyone can tell a story, but few can inspire the imagery to create visual scenes in the mind, if you will, that compliment the music that accompanies it. Anyway, we found ourselves "transported" into the songs while listening to them. The ability to do that with words is a rare find, and the mark of a special writer. Your music is definitely not background music. It is to be listened to--several times in our case--we stayed up late so doing. I hope others do the same" – Dana Acker

The band’s sound is self-described as equal parts Appalachian gospel music fatalism, part ambient groove and part southern gothic.

hypnotic yet melodic.......2007-05-10

one song is reminiscent of an instrumental version of All I want is you by U2... Can become repetitive over time...

The Spaces You Forgot to Listen In.......2005-03-29

If you were dreaming and driving at night with someone you love, this album is what you would hear on the wind.

We've got access finally to a lot of independent, new music. This is a time to explore and if you're up for it, anything by Lanterna (Henry Frayne is the key individual) is worth the time and the money. Highways is the latest incarnation of this talented musician's sonic mind. I listen to Highways in the early morning and sometimes driving by myself at night. This is definitely music to listen to by yourself. It is music for the soul--jangly guitar, acoustic rhythms, textured drums, poetic vibrations, and ambient sounds...even an intentional few minutes of silence in there on the title track for those of us who pay attention--and a payoff afterwards...kind of an untitled new composition.

Word is that Lanterna's coming out with a new album sometime in the summer so pay attention. Highways is a great jumping point for the uninitiated though. Elm Street is still my favorite, but I'm really looking forward to the next edition. Stay tuned.

Henry Frayne gives us more luminescent guitarscapes.......2004-03-02

An hour with Henry Frayne, creator of music under the band name Lanterna, is a little like an hour of exploring the ocean depths or the vast reaches of space. He creates sonic pictures of the mind with his lingering, layered electric guitar chords and atmospheric melodies. The leadoff track, "Clear Blue," is just the latest fine example of Mr. Frayne's instrumental art. It shimmers with a kind of subliminal beauty, made by echoing sustained guitar tones that could be described as "ambient," but are best appreciated without concern for category. The CD is called Highways, and listening to its nine tracks is indeed something like a journey along the back roads, sometimes in contemplation and sometimes in sheer enjoyment. On this fourth Lanterna disc, the trend continues (begun on the Sands CD) of mixing in more of a rock feeling with some of the songs. This time it's on the Metheny-esque "Brooklyn" and especially on "Brightness," which features some David Gilmour-like choppy electric guitar chords.

As much of a huge Lanterna fan as I am, I'm a little sad to hear some signs of stagnation on Highways. A song such as "Canyons," a gentle acoustic-electric number that never really goes anywhere, makes me wonder if Henry has taken this particular "instrumental themes" thing about as far as it'll go. I hope not, because I'm still prepared to travel along with him for awhile longer.
