Rating : - A Poorly Arranged Mix
Reading all the glaring reviews of CD's is very deceiving. I think maybe the majority are bogus because the few less than stellar reviews of this album are right on the money. Yes, there are some good tracks on this cd but there are many that are horrible. What's worse is the fact that some of the tracks are UNBEARABLE! and do not belong with the more positive high-energy ambient tunes that are here. Furthermore, the sound production is really bad. Most of the songs have such broad volume control spans that much of the song is not either heard or part of it is blaring and I am not talking about normal dynamics - I had to constantly adjust my stereo to get through listening to this album and I have never had to do that before.

Had all the tracks been produced better and grouped so that the album has an overall consistent mood, this could be a great CD when I say some tracks are unbearable, they really are. There is also typical filler songs so maybe you might find 3 tracks that are really good out of this whole CD. Too bad you cannot return these CD's once opened. The 30 seconds of samples on Amazon do not allow you to really hear these songs because the opening of this genres' songs often have very lengthy leads before they get to the good (or bad) body of the song.

This is a talented artist and there may be other better albums out there but I will say this - DO NOT believe all the 5 star reviews you read.

Pass on this one unless you want to buy a few tracks.
