Negative Positive
Title: Dull disappointment
Review: As much of a Robert Rich fan that I am, I have to agree with what the other reviewers have to say. This collection is far too homogenous. While these soundscape pieces are vaguely reminscent of Robert's early work on "Trances & Drones", most of these tracks are indistinguishable from one another and become quite grating after 20 minutes, particularly the middle tracks (2-4). The lengthy first track has its moments and succeeds in capturing the feeling of deep outer space. "Liquid Air" is the really the standout track (and also appears on the "From Here to Tranquility Vol. 1" compilation). "Requiem" is also decent, but not quite on par with what Robert is capable of. This one is for Robert Rich completists only.
Is the review positive or negative?
