Reviewer: Floyd Kelly
Positive Comments: I like to listen to this kind of music when I am re-organizing my DVD collection finding unmatched socks in my apartment or writing programming code on a late Saturday night like that dude in “The Matrix”. My BFF says she would like to start playing this over the intercom at the gas station when she’s changing the weekly sale sign. And, my sister says this is cool music to listen to when she’s helping mom in the kitchen making the usual big batch of chocolate fudge with almond centers – we have a big family.
Constructive Comments: I’m a funny person in real life, so my first part of this review is meant to be in good fun. At first, I thought this was a New Age ambient piece and feels comfortable that way. Then it changed. The mystery unfolded in a curious, strange way that even though quite unorthodoxed, it still beckoned. The vocal sounding aspect took it out of New Age and back into electronic in my opinion. Those drums are nice. I heard a few artifacts in the recording. I think the ending could have been better, especially after hearing those big drums my ear wanted a big drum ending somehow or something grander. I think the vocal sounds could be softened somehow to make it more ethereal. And, please remember, these are just the thoughts of a person who has never heard this before and is just a simple person out in the world somewhere. Have a happy holiday season!
