I was amazed to find no one had reviewed this album. I have been a fan of "longform" music from the early 70's, when longform meant 30 minutes, so 60 minutes+ is my idea of heaven and this does not disappoint.
Usually, a longform piece relies heavily on the repatative main theme being lowered in the mix to allow the introduction of a varied second theme to provide a period of change before it itself is completed and the main theme returned.
This not-so-little masterpiece is clever in that it introduces the alternative variations under the main piece and thus retains a continuity throughout. The alternatives are, at times, more complex than are initially heard and thus repeated playings result in a familiar , yet slightly different, result on repeated listenings.
I have only listened on headphones so far and expect a speaker hearing will be different again.
Ideal for relaxing, preparing for sleep, reading, food prep or just doing nothing!.
Great album for sure. A real credit to the artist.
If you want to experience music rather than just listen to it and you have a spare hour then go for it.
