Laid back brilliance

jskg | St Albans, Herts United Kingdom | 11/12/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is not an instant record, you have to come back to it. But when you do it is a wonderful piece, or is it a wonderful peace? For fans of Eric Bibb in his early days with Goran Wennerbrandt this is Goran's offering. It is exquisitely recorded and played. It is hard to stick a label to this music suffice to say that if you thought JJ Cale was laid back try this. It is entirely instrumental and includes one Taj Mahal number. Eric Bibb fans may at first be disappointed. This is largely due to preconceived expectations, however if you put away your prejudices you will not be disappointed."

An Acoustic Treasure

K. Pavey | Melbourne, Australia | 07/25/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is an acoustic treasure, superbly recorded (HDCD) featuring a bevy of varied instruments and textures that form an organic whole. The air and ambience as well as depth in this recording are first class and form an excellent test of your hifi system. But most of all, this music touches your soul, enriches your wellbeing and revives you after a hectic day. Try playing it late at night in a candle lit room with your partner, you won't be disappointed. I wish there were more albums of theirs. More please!"
