Adventures In Westgarth-The Toyland Sessions from Sansebastian Productions is an exciting, collaborative album on which Sebastian Lorefice and Peter Sinis showcase their cohesive musical talent. The description of Lorefice's approach on his website successfully summarizes this album, "The whole idea is to be self-sufficient and to combine the best of technology and live music." This album incorporates electronic buzz, smooth jazz, and a pop feel that display Lorefice's wide-ranging background in many genres of music. Lorefice and Sinis combine their writing and arranging talents throughout this album. The opening track, Makin It Real, provides an intriguing electronic instrumental introduction, and then the charming vocal talent of Brandon Burns, an Australian Idol finalist, is layered on, resulting in a modern, smooth, and catchy song. Other tracks such as Timeless and Somebody Please Send Me Somebody are slower and more ballad-esque, however they still effortlessly merge Lorefice's keyboard ability and arranging talent with fresh vocals and lyrical depth. With ease, this album could find a place in a home stereo, in a car for daily listening, or on the radio. Adventures in Westgarth-The Toyland Sessions has an individual sound that appeals to a wide variety of audiences and will remain in the minds of its listeners as a favorite.
