I am sure the last thing an artist wants to hear is their music described as good background music ... but actually that is exactly what I am looking for. I need something I can listen to while working. It has to be instrumental, upbeat, and energetic in a subtle way. This album has all of these.
I found a link to New Town in a list of classical piano pieces and I almost skipped over because I was afraid if might be another cheap synth piece, but it is not. I love the careful layering of light-jazz melodies over background rhythmic electronic fabric. Executed with flawless technique.
By the way, probably perfect backdrop music for a photo slide show.
