WILL ACKERMAN Grammy award winning guitarist/producer

"Listened to your work and enjoyed it very much."

ROBERT SILVERSTEIN Editor 20th Century Guitar Magazine and www.mwe3.com reviews

"The EMANCIPATION CD is great and it's an essential spin for all fans of the modern acoustic instrumental guitar sound...From the studio sound to the compositions to the artwork layout, it's a first class production."

CORIN NELSEN Grammy award winning Sound Engineer at Imaginary Road Studios

"I have had the ref disc in my truck since I made it and it goes back in the player after I finish listening to anything else... that doesn't always happen! My way of saying: great work Max! Not only am I proud of the sound, but I love the music too. Thank you!"

EMANCIPATION 2009

Recording up at Ackerman’s Imaginary Road studios, Goldston makes the most of the studio’s high tech sound and comes out a winner with Emancipation. Few guitarists today are as adept and proficient as Goldston when it comes to capturing the Windham Hill guitar sound that Ackerman helped introduce with his signings back then, including the late great Michael Hedges, Alex DeGrassi and Ackerman himself. An essential spin for fans of the acoustic guitar, Emancipation is a breezy acoustic guitar masterpiece and will appeal to fans of the Windham Hill sound and beyond.

AURUM "ISLAND LOST" 2007

Following up the release of his 04 debut,Georgia-based guitarist Max Goldston continues to record guitar instumental music that moves your mind and spirit.Borrowing some from the Windham Hill sound of the 80's,and some from the chill music Ibiza,Goldston-together with producer/arranger Toni Colomar-coaxes some atmospheric,neatly arranged instrumental guitar centric music on the 2008 cd of his group Aurum.The 12 track 50 minute "Island Lost" doesn't overpower with technique and style but goes more for a compositional edge.

WESTERN AGE 2005

Citing influences like Michael Hedges, J.J. Cale and Acoustic Alchemy,

Goldston masterfully sets the sound stage with nine evocative acoustic guitar instrumentals that crisscross jazzy folk sounds with a New Age vibe.

Overall, Western Age reveals a unique depth of appealing musical ideas that translates quite well to the acoustic guitar medium.
