Negative Positive
Title: forgettable
Review: compare this album to roach's work with percussionist metcalfe on "serpent's lair" and you'll see the vital importance of persussion in tribal/trance. the tribal melodies on their own can't take it to the higher meditative level, and without the focus and energy provided by percussion the whole thing degenerates into nothing special. where the "serpent's lair" was brilliant and finds a permanent space in the CD changer, "origins" will get the obligatory 2 plays before it's retired to the CD stack.
Is the review positive or negative?
