| Press reviews of Alex's work from Total Guitar, El Pais, Akustik Gitarre, Music Week, International Musician among others. |
Open Strings Festival, Germany
'Several Alex Warner recordings/albums have already been published by large but also independent record labels, and he has written music for more than 150 advert/jingles. Alex's emotional and athmospherical instrumentals stand out pleasantly from the mono/usual pop sound. influenced by Peter Gabriel, Marc Cohn, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt and Tom Petty, Alex Warner has developed his very own, unique style.' |

'It doesn’t often happen that a CD sent to our office for review gets constant spins on our CD player. “Uncut Diamond” is a fascinating creation by a most unusual musician. Alex Warner, a British singer/songwriter living in Barcelona, Spain. A CD of American-style folk-pop, recorded with a Spanish group, but with a very un-Spanish sound. All the compositions on this album are by the musician himself; Alex Warner is an excellent acoustic guitarist and a distinctive singer whose phrasing is faintly reminiscent of his well known compatriot, Sting. Warner’s music heads in a similar direction, with a compositional class that effortlessly attains the musical level that the “Police” achieved in their day! The twelve pearls of songs that make up “Uncut Diamond” are anything but unpolished: wonderfully subtle, elegant acoustic guitar arrangements which are interwoven into the beautiful melodies of Warner’s compositions. Now and then the breezy harmonies dressed with plenty of pretty sus chords are gently accentuated by piano or keyboard appearances, touches of slide guitar make for good musical gestures in just the right places, and a touch ofpercussion provides a subtle backbeat. The whole album is really impressive and is excellently and tastefully produced. It is so captivating that you'd would really like to leave it on the CD player forever Gregor Hilden.' |

'The twelve tracks on his CD ‘Uncut Diamond’ demonstrate fine blending of the acoustics unique to the guitar and emotive vocals he has written and presented with what seems to us to be with integrity and underlying passion. Prepared and recorded in Barcelona, and first marketed in 2004, this recording has been reviewed with high regard in Spain, Germany and the States, and is now on release in the UK on the Amphora label 0401.
Penetrating particular tracks for deeper observations rapidly led us to the opinion that each demonstrates that Alex is an outstanding interpreter of his chosen instrument, the acoustic guitar, and with a sensitivity of composition and performance – a ‘package’ which only exceptionally comes together in one performer. His choice of companions to join in the music-making has clearly been discerning and occasionally one feels that the warmth of the Spanish coast can be felt, as well as the influence of the local 12-string guitar he uses for ‘Catch your rain’.
