Album description

from http://music.download.com editor's review:

Sophistication and a wide artistic scope are the hallmarks of Greg Baumont’s musical portfolio. Faring equally well in downtempo trip-hop territory as he does executing a symphonic interlude, he brings something unique and fresh to the airwaves. Intriguing sample selection, curious subliminal elements, and masterfully crafted song structures will appeal instantly to fans of Source Records and F-Communication.

I really like this album, there's a good mix of electronical sounds which give a really relaxing and trancy mood. The track i like best is "blue star", wonderful tune and a nice vocoder-like voice.
A really good work, go on like this, i wanna listen more!

I like what Greg's done with "Wood". For the most part, it fills a gap left empty after Paul Haslinger's "World Without Rules" went out of print. There's some brilliant electronic world-fusion here ("The Dervish" is worth the download alone) that, if I'm right, uses sampling to good effect.

Its only downfall is that it's not totally coherent. In amongst the world fusion is electronic synth-pop and a little bit of electrofunk too (imagine Jean-Michel Jarre duetting with Talking Heads). While they are very good songs in their own right, they do jerk the album around a bit. Otherwise, you've got a very solid, creative and enjoyable album on your hands.

On the whole - a great effort and certainly a worthwhile listen.

This album always make me feel good. The album combines electric instruments with world music.

My favourite tracks are:

La sixieme porte de Shanaaghar - it reminds me the album Looking from the East by Era & Oliver Shanti - I like the combination of such ambient music with Asian or Arabic motifs

Respire ! (The dervish) - I really love it!
- if anybody here knows something similar here, let me know please.

Why - also very good, the trance remix is also perfect (although I mostly do not like remixes).

slowstarting, moodfull, a bit esoteric, with lots of flat flows and high pinches. tends to the style of dead can dance a bit but caries not that strong feelings und has a more electroal approach. nice work with sounds and effects, well arranged tracks but nothing too special or excentric. sometimes you stumble over some disco or trance while listening and you get the feeling from time to time that the artist is taking stylebits from here and there trying to arrange them into one track.

But since most of the album is more slow, it might be best described as slow, eso-ethno ambient electro with some tracks for an easy listening experience. but attention with the disko factor in some of it's tracks you want to start dance.

while most tracks are well produced, i'm missing the red line within this album and sometimes within the tracks itself. it's more a showcase of different songs by the artist and the artist itself then an compiled album - but maybe the next one is, and this one show a nice showcasing compilation.

defenetive worth downloading and to listen to.

Wurfie wishes to be finding more like Dervish. Like flying through a summer nights warm sky, filled with stars with chunky beats, African chants, sitar tinkles, synthy fun and a glimmer of moonlight.

Give Wurfie an album of Dervish and Wurfie give you an 11 (in the true Spinal Tap tradition)
