While firmly rooted in the classical genre, Michael draws sparingly from new age music, and his resume even includes a stint as a touring keyboardist for the legendary Motown group, The Temptations. However, the source of his creative inspiration is evident in his extensive discography as well as on this album. Timeless ll finds Michael interpreting the works of such composers as Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and Saint- Saens. I use the word interpret because rather than play these famous works exactly as they were composed he has chosen to add a slightly more contemporary air to the arrangements, although with obvious deep reverence and respect for the original. While grand piano is the primary and prevailing voice on this recording, light touches of strings, organ, and other non-piano sounds enhance the music in a supporting role. In this stunning follow up to his original Timeless CD, Michael Dulin provides the listener with one virtuoso performance after another evoking a wide range of emotional response as the music unfolds. . I m certain we ll be hearing a lot more from this talented artist in the years to come.

In the case of Michael Dulin he was noticed for having a talent for music at the age of two.   Dulin released an album called Timeless in 2004 and due to its immense popularity he decided to go ahead and satisfy the appetite of his listener s with another volume of songs titled Timeless II.   Timeless II consists of eleven of Michael s classical favorites played on piano and as he puts it Revisited through the prism of my own musical language. Which in effect is a creation of a more modern contemporary sound to attract a wider audience opposed to anyone particular segment of listeners. This instrumental journey will open up infinite possibilities for the body, mind and spirit simply because there are no words but an amalgamation of beautiful timeless music interpreted by one of today s most excellent keyboard talents.   The eleven tracks offered on this collection give the listener an opportunity to relax, meditate, reflect, or all of the above in one session. This is definitely the type of music that sets a mood or mindset if you will. After three listens I can confirm that every bit of it is a positive experience that can initiate a healing process or simply bring you tremendous joy and warmth.   Mr. Dulin is a very talented piano player with a god given gift shared through music that really does sound like a slice of heaven. When you hear his own interpretations of Moonlight Sonata and The Swan you feel like you just died and are walking through the pearly gates to meet your maker.   Timeless II is a beautiful experience any way you look at it and should not be missed by those who appreciate classical music with a modern twist, relaxing, or enjoy any type of instrumental keyboard music. --MuzikReviews.com / Keith Hannaleck
