Discography
Before Sleep Comes - 2004
Review
There are never enough albums that one can use as a backdrop for relaxation, that don't smack of mass-produced new ageiness, and luckily this one does not follow that track at all.
The crisp guitar work, combined with the seamless inclusion of sounds of nature brings a beauty and serenity to the CD, which mirrors the maturity of both Luka's playing and songwriting after many years of experience.
So go out and buy this CD, draw a long hot bath, pour yourself a cup of herbal tea and float away on the words an music to the Land of Nod.

Sleeve Notes
Before Sleep Comes is a special CD, designed to give people something calm to listen to before going to bed at night. It is 28 minutes long, 9 tracks, two of which are instrumental. I got the idea for the CD in the Summer, when my tendonitis was bad, and I was playing soothing little things on my Spanish guitar. I grew to love this time each day; wrote some soft songs; decided to record it in the Old Mill nearby....
There with Mark I recorded these tracks over two nights. Late at night, with the wind blowing. I recorded when I was tired myself. This is a CD of non-performance. It's purpose is to help bring you closer to sleep, our sometimes elusive night-friend.
It's a special project, and I hope you like the result.
