5 out of 5 stars Warren Buttler's "The Properties of Mercy".......2001-02-26

Every now and then, you stumble upon a new artist that forces you to take notice. Such was the case with the first listening of Warren Buttler's "The Properties of Mercy."

The guitar, through its popularity, has probably become the most frequently utilized instrument in the creation of instrumental recordings. And being a guitar player myself, I'm constantly searching for that new and different recording that will not only hold my attention, but will also create inspiration and appreciation through my listening.

"The Properties of Mercy" does that and much more. Using what sounds like a thousand different guitars, Mr. Buttler shapes his music as though it is a sculpture, molding each song into a separate story. It's difficult to assign a "type of music" label to Buttler's CD, but if you like classical, it's there. New age? Yes and no. Jazz? Yes, it's there, too. The flavors graciously include ethnic, Spanish, techno-pop and even a dash of Gypsy.

Several of the tracks are no less than a pure delight to behold with pleasing melodic phrases that could lend themselves easily to a romantic ambience. And others, such as "Can't Kill a Man Born to Hang" and "Highway to Kuwait," paint a picture of intensity almost as if they were soundtracks of life.

"The Properties of Mercy" got my attention from the start and each subsequent playing pulls me in a little more. I wait anxiously for Buttler's next release.
