Customer Reviews

beautiful
I just bought this album and think it is very chill out and peaceful album. If u like that kind of music dont hesitate!!!

Strange and beautiful is one of my favourite songs.....

Beautiful, Enchanting, Melancholic, Touching, Soothing...
5 words that sum this up in a nutshell. Aqualung's debut album has to rank in my top 10 from the last couple of years. Aqualung deliver piano led music which is quite simply gorgoeus. 'Strange & Beautiful' might be the track which got Matt Hales noticed in the mainstream music scene but there's so much here to be cherished, enjoyed and reflected upon.

'If I Fall', 'Just For A Moment', 'Can't Get You Out Of My Mind' and closing track 'Halfway To The Bottom' are the best things on offer and contain such lyrical genius that its hard to find the words for. This CD is indeed best served up during a quiet moment alone, and certainly rewards those who give it some replay. Each time you hear it you'll discover something else magical beit from the music or lyrics. I can't rate this more highly, so if you're after something which can mellow you out and serve up well crafted thoughtful paino melodies then this is for you. excellent stuff from start to finish.

A little bit
I heard "strange and beautiful" and really loved it. I thought to myself, "They could be the sound that you've been looking for." I bought the album and found that although none of the songs are bad as such, many lack a defining identity. There were one or two gems, but I feel that this is the kind of cd you should buy if you want some peaceful and pretty background music. Just thought I should warn people in case they are expecting a variety of different sounding tracks. It still was very peaceful and soothing but too much of this can become boring.
