What did I waste my money on?

"I wasted my money on this CD. Please don't be another victim, read this review. Okay, first off, I'm a big fan of ambient music. Aphex Twin's Ambient Works Vol. 2 is one of the best I've heard in my life. Then I had the misfortune of picking up Mood Bells by Cylob while I was looking around for something new and interesting at the music store.This entire CD is just bells. That's it. Different sounding bells, being bent and shaped and warped into imaginative sounds, but unfortunately not any type of song I'd care to listen to for longer than ten minutes.In fact that CD began to annoy me at the ten minute mark so I removed it from my player promptly. If you like the sound of bells and bells only, then I suggest you grab this album. If bells don't tickle your fancy, I suggest you try one of Cylob's other albums or just about anything by Aphex Twin or Squarepusher.(On a sidenote, this album is released under Aphex Twin's record label.)"
Terrific

"I enjoyed this atypical album from Cylob. It's very quiet and minimal. It's doesn't have computer voices. Mixes well with others and it's great on it's own with a cup of tea."

"It is what it says on the tin......pure mood bells..(im suprsed at the ignorance of the previous review who thought it might sound like Aphex Twin or Squarepusher just becasue it is released on rephlex records)...if thats what your looking for this is not like either of those artists....Definetly a record to relax too,very well constructed, the changing shape of the bells will have you hypnotised an retreating inside your own mind.. if you have the patience to listen to this record to the end..certainly not cylobs most accesable record but a good one for those of us who like a little something different..:)"
