Customer Reviews
Lush, rhythmic, danceful music.
This is an extremely enjoyable album of what is, essentially, dance music. The instrumentation used may be that akin to a "normal" rock band - acoustic and electric guitars, bass, keyboards and drums but the compositions are based around short, rhythmic phrases which together with the lushness of the arrangements lend the feel of the music overall a very boppy, or danceful, aspect.
The arrangements are varied, compositionally and instrumentationally, and always interesting. Most of the songs are sung but there are also lengthy instrumental passages and complete songs of totally instrumental or just vocalised (human voice used as an instrument without words) music.
The human voice, even when it is not enunciating words, brings adds emotion to the music in a way that other instruments can rarely add. That is important in so far as this album goes because the overall feel of this danceful music is warm and romantic - this is music for happy people, for friends and lovers rather than manic head-banging, mantric rave music. Very enjoyable!
Retro soft rock done well
The critic who described this as a drugged out 70's Fleetwood Mac effort wasn't far off. This is quality soft rock - easy on the ear if a little overblown but full of lush guitaring, rhythm and invention.
Reminded me a bit of Ozric Tentacles, Pink Floyd, Santana and Fleetwood Mac rolled into one. Probably a bit of a marmite album in the sense that it's either your thing and you like the dreamy, ethereal sounds or you really won't.
