Tim Reynolds Does it Again
09/09/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album defintely throws you for a curve if you own the Puke Matrix cd. This CD seems to be the Decaffeinated version of Tim Reynolds cause he is much more laid back on this CD. But the funny thing is, he still comes through by showing the listener just how good he really is. And the piano player, Michael Sokolowski, adds to the CD with his incredible piano playing. This CD is a must for anyone who enjoys Tim Reynolds work."
Not a cd to focus on.

"This cd is good for playing without headphones while you do something else. It's difficult to just listen to front to back all the way through with total focus. All along the watchtower is fairly unrecognizable to me, but most of the cd is very pretty. Common margins is probably the song that's most distinguished from the rest of the cd. Tim Reynolds isn't pulling off any solos and the guitar isn't any more powerful or clear than the piano, it is equal parts piano and guitar and if any instrument is more active during the playing time it's the piano. Not a guitar album. Don't buy this because of DM and TR's Luther college cd, it's really not like it at all. I give it a three because the music is beatiful, but still keep in mind it's strictly improv and no overdubs and touch-ups, and for the most part it's hard to tell certain songs from each other. It's not like a normal studio album at all. Good but not great-not like work with DM and theDMB or even like Tim Reynolds own cds."
Mellow mood music

"For fans of Tim Reynolds from his acoustic shows with Dave Matthews, you won't find things like "Chatterbox" or "Stream" here. What you will find is mellow and understated and altogether satisfying, whether you listen to it intensely through your headphones or put it on as background music. This is a Wyndham Hill sort of sound, not funky or hook-y or "experimental", with mellow interplay between piano and guitar (with the piano often taking precedence). I gambled on buying this CD and was happy I did. "Alive" and especially "Watchtower" (no surprise to DMB fans) are favourites here."
