Sunset Skies Run Hush Memories Come Alive

2008 The Sun Will Shine Again' is a beautifully crafted album, a sensuous blend of Guitars, Flute, Sax and voices with pulsating world drums and percussions and the effortlessly evocative feel of a film score. EFFUSION has combined a wealth of talent and expertise to create this album of heart and passion, an album that oozes pure class and hypnotic melody.

The debut album release of "Blue Illusions" took place in 1997. This instrumental album expressed a unique sound comprised of a mixture of styles blended from Mediterranean, Iberian and European jazz flavors, with a musical fervor that transcends popular beats. The leading solo instruments Flute, Spanish guitar - Rafik Oganian, Saxophone - Hagop Nalbandian, with serene yet supremely sensual whispered words and vocals - Monika Armendariz, mystical Arabic chants - Ara Shahbazian

Summer of 2001 brought about Effusion’s second CD, “Impulse”. Effusion experimented with songwriting. Three videos were released along with the CD. To better equip you with the feel of “Impulse”, here is a quote from Music Connection Magazine:

“…tranquil acoustic-type pop with lots of exotic world music flavor. The production quality is crystal clear and captures the exotic vibe very well. Musicianship is impressive … this is the kind of music that will not rock your world – just make it a more soothing place to live.”

In 2002 Effusion’s third CD, “Mystery”, unveiled a more dynamic and expressive work. The blend of pulsating synth-lines, screeching guitars and harmonic vocals - Rafik Oganian, gives the listener an unmistakable Effusion groove. The simple lyrics exude emotion that will draw you under its spell.

2004 “How I Feel”. Effusion’s most dark and personal work. The forth Effusion album titled “How I Feel” is a vocally driven endeavor that displays a side of Effusion that has never been heard or seen before. The blend of melodic strings, moody guitar phrases and harmonic vocals will drive your senses to a level of rapture. This CD takes you through a ride that ranges from dark and mysterious, to sexy and seductive.

For his fourth album, How I Feel, solo artist EFFUSION's breathy vocals and dark, sensual tracks (sprinkled with a fair amount of synths) reminds us of Depeche Mode. ... We do like this artist's voice ... Film/TV folks looking for music a la mode will want to give this a taste.

The two young men behind Effusion... who with their third release cultivate a sound innovative as it is easy to listen to. It's not a "feel good" album but it is an album to feel good to. Effusion is Pop music. but not necessarily today's Pop. Somehow it seems unaffected by today's generally oversexed and musically bankrupt industry commodities. This synth and guitar duo (which never really sounds like only two men) is the inevitable resurfacing of musical contributions from 80's Pop mainstay such as Depeche Mode and The Pet Shop Boys. Pink Floyd seems to creep in there too but the general feeling is of love and anguish, with strands from today's drum and bass as well. The grainy feel given to the guitar and the synthesizer mixes in the company of intense piano and flavorful bass to which the deep. distant. echoing vocals of the duo add a unifying pall.

Avo Nersoyan spearheads this trio whose forte is tranquil AC-type pop with lots of exotic world music flavor. The production quality (always key to this kind of music) is crystal clear and captures the exotic vibe very well. Musicianship is impressive, rendering vocals and lyrics virtually unnecessary. We preferred “Fallen Angel," which opens with a spacey David Gilmore-type guitar intro before giving way to a passionate sax passage. This is the kind of music that will not rock your world ­ just make it a more soothing place to live.

Haunting lyrics and music. Touching. Impulse Pop/electronic sound with great lyrics. Love stories of the then bleeding into the now. Very atmospheric. Listen to it with lights out.
