Album Review
Red West
Reviewed 2002-04-22
Nice instrumentals should appeal to the highbrow alt-rock crowd. 1.short jazz into, plaintive sax 2. Kinda quiet & noisy intro goes into melodic minor key "rachel's" like instrumental featuring guitar & flute, some accordian, noisy part again at end 3. Sweet, I zoned out and forgot I was reviewing this CD 10. Like a soundtrack 12.pastoral

and my 2nd review, having forgotten about the first:
mellow instrumentals for indie rockers craving culture. From Chicago. Think Rachel's. 1. sax, oops cornet! intro 2. The band plays in pulses, then a soundtracky part, nice use of accordian, pulses again at end for emphasis. 3.little lilt. Sounds like there's a little surface damage on my player, may skip 4.rumbles, on't sound so good in the car 5.countryish, almost swinging 6.rumble drums intro, slow acoustic & slide guitar 7.accordian weirdness, hi hat, guitar plucks around 8.midtempo and dreamy 9.short quiet ambient little structure 10.slows guitar based, too repetitive 11.another rumble track gets a little musical at end 12.pleasant non-percussive accordian/cello/guitar track
