Title: Video Game Music
Review: You know, time once was when JMJ influended others. Now it seems the whole video game "culture" is what is influencing him. The first three tracks on this disc sound like soundtracks to video games with all the depth and nuance you'd expect from such a connetion. You have to get to track 4 until you hear something that sounds like it might stand on its own and alongside JMJ's other greatest accomplishments. But by #8 we're back to video games again.Now, don't get me wrong. I've followed JMJ through lots of changes and usually been able to find something redeeming in most of them, but this might be my hopping off point.If you get the bonus 2nd disc with the video on it, you will see that the video game connection is very strong, maybe even intentional. It seems so shallow though. My overriding thought is "what was he thinking?"
