CD ReviewsPretentiously Wonderful Jason E. Pellinen | Minneapolis, MN | 10/19/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Gorgeous music from two of the greatest musicians to come out of the 80's.While the best way to listen to this cd is on a pair of good headphones, it is not necessary. I listen to this on chessy little speakers at work and I still enjoy.Musically there is nothing groundbreking here, just gorgeous melodies and relaxing sounds.Listening recomendation: Turn off all of the lights, light a single candle turn up the volume and just chill." No Hidden Agenda G. Faville | 08/18/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "The first reviewer of this album must have had some personal problem with the artists; his vehement flame was totally inappropriate for this excellent ambient work. Similar to Harold Budd and Brian Eno's mesmerizing collaboration on "The Pearl", these floating, colorful chords will lift the listener up and take them someplace altogether away. Don't overanalyze it, relax and just listen to it." Drifting music G. Faville | Wisconsin | 10/27/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "... While this CD may not be really solid, it's certainly wonderful to get lost in. There aren't a whole lot of melodies here, and the ones that are present are fairly simple, and I think that's where much of the beauty lies. A lot of the energy is focused on taking those simple lines and decorating them in a wide array of colors. I enjoyed many of the longer songs on the Erasure CD with the night painting on the cover, and I think this follows in that vein. The CD is an "experiment", and doesn't claim any lofty goals. It's interesting, though, to see how people react to this kind of music. I bought this in the midst of a spree of "ambient" purchases. This came in the middle of To Rococo Rot, Autechre, Nobukazu Takemura, Muziq, Aphex Twin, Oval. I gotta say that I read rave reviews of all of those CD's, and while I enjoyed them and could lose myself in most of them (TRR and Oval I'm having some trouble with), I didn't hear anything terribly engaging or special there, and I feel this one connected in just as many ways. I did not think it soulless, I found it elevating."
