About this album

  • Updated: 14/03/2007

This is pure instrumental music. The titles were recorded already in 1991 with very simple equipment and without any computers. I apologize for the bad sound quality.

The categoty of this music is sort of  'Easy Listening'. Music you hear in shopping malls or in hotel elevators. Nothing complicated but easy going.

My music was influenced by Mezzoforte, Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour and Level 42 - just to mention the most important.

When the first track began playing, my initial thoughts were, "Why am I listening to SNES music?" This music is irritating not in the traditional sense, but in the way reruns of old 90's tv shows are. In fact, if these songs had some male vocals, it would SOUND like an old 90's tv rerun (or the theme song at least). In the album description, it says that you would hear these songs in malls or hotel elevators. I shudder to think that any hotel or mall would make this album its ambient music. This album is more suited for the Kwik-e-mart, where people get in and out, thus not being able to become fully exposed to this disastrous medley of cheaply synthesized horrors. No Mercy.

Un bon album rythmé et sympa à écouter, avec une base instrumetnale accoustique et électronique standard mais parfaitement exploitée, avec des musiques simples et sympas à écouter. C'est simple et efficace ! Bon travail !

Whoa, that's a beautiful synth sound. There's somebody hitting the keys hard! Pretty well played melodies and funky grooves. I love that sound! That sounds like it was 25 years old, pretty cool. I'd love to hear some good vocals on that. would be perfect! I can't pick a favourite because they're all very good!

Ach jaaa,das waren noch zeiten wo man auf solchen Keyboards rumspielte! Klar,errinnert voll an die 80'er jahre dieses Album,was mir persöhnlich gut gefällt.Sicher,diese teile sind soundmässig nicht auf dem neusten stand, aber egal...erweckt alte,lang vergangene zeiten wieder zum leben! Ich denke gerade spontan wieder an Miami Vice und Jan Hammer! Gut! The Abogix (J.K.)
