In The Company Of Wizards

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Singer/songwriter Beldon has had a career as varied as his musical influences. Classically trained as an opera singer, self-taught as a rock musician and composer, he combines his varied experiences into carefully orchestrated song pieces reminiscent of early Moody Blues. Beldon is currently working on a new CD. He has most recently been seen playing bass in a touring production of The Rocky Horror Show.

Album Description
A collection of mystical progressive-pop songs which takes the listener on a tour through the mystifying and sometimes conflicted landscape of dreams and aspirations. The Company of Wizards asks us to forget who we think we are, see ourselves in our most unflattering light, and then dares us to love what we're left with when our most cherished beliefs seem to have abandoned us.

Tracks:

When I Look at the Stars
Wizard's Procession
In the Company of Wizards
Midnight
Childless Father
If I Could Believe
Do You Dream?

Always a Pleasure

Keeping Good Company.......2002-07-18

Since I was in on the production of this album, I am not an unbiased opinion.

That said, however, I think this an album worth a close listen. Beldon uses the experiences in his life to create poetic lyrics which he then matches to wonderful, accessible melodies. His heart and soul are in this music, which is not as common as it should be. Aside from a little help from his friends, everything on this album is Beldon's work.

While pagans may find special meaning in many of the songs, those of us in mainstream religions can take a lot from this album. It is a wonderful look at one man's vision of the world and his place in it.
