Title: A big disappointment
Review: After hearing Johansson's haunting treatment of Scandinavian folk music on Dr. Folk, I couldn't wait to hear this album. Ugh! There are perhaps four tracks worth hearing; the rest is a jumble of overproduced strings, underrehearsed jazz tracks and some electronic novelties, like "Flight of the Bumblebee" recorded low on the piano and sped up electronically. Must have seemd cool in the '60's; now it sounds like "The Chipmunks Play the Classics." Johansson's best work is great, but there isn't much of it here. BTW if you wonder why everyone raves about the music at CD Baby, just try publishing a review like this on their site . . .
Is the review positive or negative?
