Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Gentle Onslaught of Minimalistic Polyrythmic Sweetness Comment: If I ever get tied to the ground and a B52 bomber flies overhead and drops it's paylod of 100 megaton love bombs on my face this is the album I want to be listening to... and I hope the song Beautiful Feeling is playing when the first one hits me in the teeth because my smile is so large. Thanks for reading Customer Rating: Summary: lives up to the reviews Comment: If you're looking at this then I think you need to buy it. It's an excellent album, none of the tracks are similar to each other and they just get better and better. (hopefully this gives you a guage)-> Other albums that I think are amazing are... Shpongle -Nothing Lasts But Nothing is Lost BlueTech -Prima Materia Younger Brother -*all* Infected Mushroom -Viscious Delicious Juno Reactor -Labyrinth Pendulum -Hold Your Colour Phutureprimitive -Sub Conscious Squarepusher -Ultravisitor Venetian Snares -My Downfall Vibrasphere -Exploring the Tributaries Customer Rating: Summary: Highly disappointed Comment: After reading the other reviews of this CD, glowingly relating that every track is a winner and that the CD is one nearing perfection, I figured I couldn't go wrong. I mean, I own many CDs which I am happy to own only for a couple tracks. Perhaps I just didn't do my homework on this one. But again, people were saying "chillout" and "relaxing" about this, so I feel misled. That's not to say it doesn't qualify as Chillout or as somewhat relaxing; however, I prefer some semblance of melody or at least melodic direction in my music (like Ulrich Schnauss); and if not, I want to hear some killer atmospheres or textures (like AmBeam). Neither are found here. You get the ubiqitous beats, but they are unusual in and of themselves. They don't really establish groove so much as just create rhythm. I find them quite uninspired. They don't draw ME in, that's all I can say. And with songs so long, they need to do that, frankly. Melodies? Well, you might be able to grab one from the repetitious (lazily looped) bass line or from some other esoteric bit. Again, I realize this kind of music often uses looped bits to create texture (love the way Marconi Union does it), but this stuff just falls way short. Uninspired. That's the word that keeps coming to me when I listen to this music. It sounds very much like it's adhering to some expected formula. As for the textures and supposed beauty, they can't hold a candle to Schnauss, Vangelis, Jon Hopkins, or any number of other artists. I don't mean to be too harsh on this music, but there needs to be a balanced opinion on this page, and maybe I'll save somebody else the disappointment I felt when receiving this CD. I had much, much higher hopes. Somebody described this as fantastic background music. I agree. Way, way back, it could work.
