I have learned my lesson about making comments in the context of reviews. So...i will make no opinions known other than those concerning the music. I am sure you are all pleased. SVEN VATH : ACCIDENT IN PARADISE Tracks... 1) Ritual of life.....13:08 2) Caravan Of Emotions.....11:55 3) L'esperanza.....9:53 4) Sleeping Invention.....3:20 5) Mellow Illusion.....9:06 6) Merry-Go-Round Somewhere.....1:13 7) An Accident In Paradise.....6:24 8) Drifting Like Whales In The Darkness.....6:36 9) Coda.....1:24 10) L'esperanza (single edit).....3:53 Thoughts... First of all the "accident" must have been that outfit he was wearing on the cover...(if the dude was him)...i would have to give this the JASON AWARD FOR MOST RIDICULOUS JACKET COVER AWARD...it is quite silly. the music on the other hand is another story... it is an interesting blend of samples and beats and tech sounds with traditional instruments like harpsichords and violins...and also carnival instruments.... the first track features the enchanting sounds of the digeridoo...one of my particular favorite world instruments... my personal wish would be for there to be long versions of the short tracks...but i liked the overall album... best tracks...hmmm...1, 2, 3, 7, 8, oh hell its all good...but a few bits might take a little getting used to... on the almighty jason scale...i give it an 8.5 out of 10... but you HAVE to go look at that jacket...man...lets see who the art director was...A-brrrz'u Design... a word of advice...never take any business to A-brrrz'u design...unless you get written contracts saying your stuff will never look anything like Sven Vath's disc jacket...o.k....man its hilarious... And if you ever find out who his tailor is...dont go to them either... later, jasonosaj. @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ j a h 1 0 @ r a . m s s t a t e . e d u @@@ @@@ @@@ --------------------------------------- @@@ @@@ @@@ b R o t H e R A l p H a B e T @@@ @@@ @@@ --------------------------------------- @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@-how many days to oblivion anyway?????-
