this is a wonderful album whith a special atmosphere. Phantastic! I like it very much! Theres great love for your music in there. Greetimgs from Electro-pete If you like, listen to my album "hypno" an lets be friends

Very nice album with great violin arrangements and well fitting beat compositions. Nevertheless some titels are a bit to much melancholic und lead to a depressing mood. All in all an album one should listen to at least ones, since on all accounts there are innovative elements which are worth listening to.

Je suis complètement preneuse! Je préfère quand même "Wake up". Il chante tellement bien!

Ca fait plaisir d'écouter Dan Masquelier de nouveau. Un album acoustique, moins pop, sans voix cette fois ci, qui vous plonge dans un état contemplatif. On a l'impressin d'écouter une BO (je pense à "l'assassinat de Jesse James par le lâche Robert Ford" en moins torturé.) Au lieu de se répeter, Dan a choisi d'évoluer, une évolution logique d'ailleurs, tout en gardant sa patte. Franchement, j'apprécie qu'on se remette en question et qu'on se bouge pour explorer de nouvelles choses. Ici, l'exploration est intéressante (et carrément bien) avec différents instru maîtrisés (guitare, violon, piano, percu, et un peu d'électro discrète La combinaison guitare-violon est excellente. Le son est parfait pour moi. Juste un peu court pour un album Dan Masquelier come back with an acoustic album, without voice this time. Less pop, this contains a music that put you in a contemplative state of mind. I feel like I'm listening to a soundtrack. (a tought to a "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" , less tortured) Instead of repeating himself, he choosed to evolve. I appreciate that. Great explorations of multiples and mastered instruments, guitar, violin, piano, drums + a discrete pinch of electro The combination of the guitar and the violin is really impressive and the way th The sound is just perfect to me (I'm not an expert) Maybe too short for a album... Thanks for sharing

wonderful and relaxing album. great for playing while working or thinking. much appreciated!

Le retour de Dan, je suis happy, et en prime l'album est superbe avec une musique douce et relaxante, du grand art!

Well, I haven't been doing many reviews lately--because, I'm tired of doing them. But I felt obliged to do one for this album since the artist chose my home state for the map center on his album cover - cool. I was also interested in the theme. Young people and elderly people seem to tend toward the melancholic emotional attitudes. Life has its moments when it seems especially bleak and I thought the artist, Dan Masquelier, was very good at expressing this emotion with his violins and other instruments in his concoctions. I really liked "Sea Creatures" which was eery, and echoey, and pretty. "Believe" had a very nice melodic piano. I found "Toast" to be the most upbeat and it had a fullness of musical layers, but it was also very short. I felt that "Abyss" was the most expressive and interesting and on the experimental side. Although these compositions were sad emotionally, instead of being dark, dreary, and heavy, they were light and soft which injects a ray of optimism and hope. There seemed to be a lot of white spaces in these compositions, also, along with some hesitancy or shyness in these songs which gave them a strong appeal. This artist uses a great deal of introspection with his poetic melodies which projects his feelings very clearly.

Magnifique univers sonore, plein de grâce et d'équilibre et qui nous interpelle et nous émeut. De la belle ouvrage !!!

Melancholy, but pretty.
