New age and eastern-sounding, leans slightly experimental. I don't have much attention span for new-age usually, but this holds up in a strange way, is interesting. Soft peaceful music, compositionally solid. Tracks 10-25 sound like the background music on Paul Bowles' Baptism of Solitude CD. Track 9 is my fav. 1. Chill marimba solo. 2. Romantic – flute, viola, harp. Nice flutter tongue on the flute. 3. The most boring/trite track? Grown-up Bambi soundtrack. 4. Soft, envelopes you in easy-listening sounds that somehow just aren't quite cheesy. 5. Very chill solo accordion. 6-9. Title piece – most active piece here, with rich instrumentation – played by the Cygnus Ensemble, which KZSU has more recordings of. *9. Most experimental-sounding, and the best track. 10-25. Droney and cavernous, most tracks with a satsuma biwa (a Japanese plucked string instrument that sounds a little like a sitar here) and electronic spacey sounds. All these tracks run together. 15 and 18 have female vox. 20, 21, *23. The most interesting biwa tracks. The last 50 seconds of 23 has lots of silence. | ||
