Ariel - Webber Translation is an abstract electronic album with unique instrumentation arranged and produced by Ariel Stewart himself. His entire album has an ambient sound and nature which considerably soothing. In fact this entire album is both ambient and abstract. These songs are instrumentals. Ariel covers a couple of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs on his album which is why you can hear his influence all over the place. Most of the music was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The piano you hear on this album is not an actual piano but is actually Ariel’s personal Yamaha keyboard. Ariel Stewart and Toni Stewart were responsible for production.
Ariel performs a wonderful rendition and cover of Phantom Of The Opera. The whole song is an electronic orchestra performed using Ariel’s personal Yamaha keyboard. The song uses an array of electro synths. String arrangements on this song are perfect. The organs are electronic instead of harmonic pipes.
Not only that! Ariel performs an electronic cover of Julie Covington - Don't Cry for Me Argentina. The horns on the song are laced with electric synths hence the electro sound. The mood is ambient and so is the sound. You can hear the perfection in their production. The whole song is an electronic pop opera.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar was covered by Ariel. The whole song is an electronic rock opera almost similar to his cover of Phantom Of The Opera.
I rate this album 4/5****.
