Ambient Heaven - Rain

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Howard Robert

Release Date March 03, 2008
I bought a few of these CDs thinking they'd contain a good relaxing soundtrack of rain, a storm (etc), but instead you get a bunch of tracks which start and end with a few seconds of this, and then drift into terrible, cheesy ambient music - the sort of rubbish you'd expect to hear in a shopping mall - with no hint of the themes the CD titles suggest. I'm an ambient fan by the way - listen to Brian Eno etc - so know bad ambient music when I hear it. If you like shopping mall music, then by all means go for it, but the titles of these terrible CDs tell you nothing about their true content. I feel conned out of £[...]...

The Moon and the Melodies

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Harold Budd, Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde

Release Date December 31, 1993
Well, I think the Cocteau Twins were a great band and as for Harold Budd, I could listen to his lullaby piano for the rest of my life. However, I've never really thought of this, a one-off collaboration from 1986, as a successful meeting of minds. The problem is that what you have here, effectively, are two separate mini-albums spliced together. Half the tracks sound like pretty much everything else the Cocteau Twins were doing in the mid-eighties, except that if you listen carefully you can just about hear a piano desperately trying to make itself heard above the noise; and the other half of the album sounds, basically, like Harold Budd's solo work from the same period.

For me, the album works best on the tracks where the instrumentation ... Read More:

The Moment

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Kenny G

Release Date April 07, 1997
Of Kenny G's CDs, or at least of the ones I have, this is a rather quiet and expressive set. Of course, it's geared for those who like Kenny G, and so is my review.

I don't think Kenny G is jazz. He's strictly easy listening or adult contemporary, although there are jazz embellishments here. This is a saxophonist expressing himself to those who choose to listen, and he creates an intimate atmosphere for his fans.

No, he's not one of the great versatile musicians, but he expresses and entertains those who are in the same flow that he is.

The only ones who mention his name in the same breath as Miles Davis and John Coltrane are his bashers. I haven't heard any Kenny G fan compare him with these jazz greats. Rather than ... Read More:

Live at the Acropolis

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Yanni

Release Date July 10, 1995
Yanni is one of modern instrumental music's most distinctive and popular composers. Yanni moved to the USA in 1972 where he attended the University of Minnesota, pursuing a degree in psychology while also playing with rock band Chameleon. However, he is now a naturalized US citizen based in Los Angeles, California, leaving behind his academic studies to concentrate on richly orchestrated and complex keyboard compositions - he was already a self-taught musician with perfect pitch in Greece, as well as a one-time national swimming champion, though to this day he insists he cannot "read" music. His statement of intent: "My goal is to connect with people emotionally. I take life's experiences and translate them into music", though perhaps a little pompous, has resulted ... Read More:
