Title: Stagnant Review: Though most of the elements of good music are there, and Elizabeth Fraser's vocals are truly amazing (making this album at least listenable) nothing here is going anywhere. You are always left expecting somthing to happen, (it never does) and though it definately trys, it fails to invoke any sort of real feeling or aptmosphere. I recommend you check out some of this bands earlier stuff, or better yet, Fraser's appearences in Massive Attacks "Mezzanane" which have to be some of the best sound ever to grace my ears.

Title: Silk Road Journey Review: I saw a performance of the Silk Road Ensemble and was absolutely enthralled. So I bought the CD. But it was a big disappointment. It's not the type of music you can comfortably listen to in your living room - I'm sure it would be much more enjoyable in a concert hall. There was far too much that just sounded like "screeching" to me. However, some of the pieces that were much like what we heard at the performance were beautiful. So - a mixed review, but I disliked more than I liked. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Health as Expanding Consciousness Review: This is one of the most absurd works I have ever come across. It reads like a bad acid trip from the 60's, which may have been the inspiration. It contains such nuggets of wisdom such as health is the same as disease, rocks have consciousness, and we are energy fields rather than human beings. It would be hysterically funny if not for the fact that colleges are actually teaching this nonsense in nursing programs! Do yourself a favor and pass this one by! Is the review positive or negative?
