Negative Positive
Title: Lead bass hasn't sounded this good since Jaco or Mingus..
Review: I have to disagree with some of the comments calling this album 'new age' - it isn't. Rather, I'd suggest Waters of Eden is what new age music was originally intended to be - exotic, lush, laid-back in tone yet passionate in presentation. If you've wondered what the music of any of those generic Windham Hill types would sound like with energy and vitality, as opposed to remaining in the predictable zone of soulless elevator music, this album should be a treat. As long as I'm tossing out labels here, classical, qawwali and jazz can also be applied to one degree or another.But the best way to listen is to ignore the labels and take the music on its own. Moving, haunting, passionate. It's not necessarily invigorating or exciting (unless you're thinking in a creative and spiritual sense), but something to drift to. Tony doesn't have to play 200 notes a minute; he could play just one, but that one would be perfect.
Is the review positive or negative?
