The Water Garden
: :'Meditation and water are wedded forever,' says New Acoustic progenitor Alex de Grassi, quoting Herman Melville in the liner notes to this 10-song cycle of solo steel-string guitar pieces 'on the theme of water.' There's a stillness at the heart of this Garden, but don't expect placid performances; de Grassi's stunning finger style exploits rapidslike torrents of open-tuned chords ('Prelude'), babbling brooks of uplifting hammer-on melodies ('The Zipper'), and buoyant themes floating over liquid counterpoint ('Another Shore'). Sure, the former Windham Hill mainstay, whose Turning: Turning Back and Slow Circle helped ...

Southern Exposure
: :A superb fingerstyle guitarist with a mix of harmonic adventure and metaphysical trappings similar to that of steel-string legend John Fahey, California native de Grassi moves ably from dense chordal work to vibrantly ornamented lines. Ethnic touches abound: The urgent motion of '36' is undercut with sunny flamenco gestures, while Brazilian bossa inform the taut rhythms and key changes of 'Cumulus,' foreshadowing de Grassi's later Bolivian influences.
