I don't know the music by tracks but: First track is great. Gets a little
too loopy. It's got that lush arpegiator action going on. Great
soundscace. I like the closing orchestral strings too.
second track and B side first track run together for me, I like the drum
and bassness of it all, but it's a little too lush. Last track with the
celticish pipe is fun if I let me self enjoy it.
It all sounds like adult contemporary chill music. Just so well produced
and all, which almost starts to be a detractor. 6.5/10 but it's been in
constant rotation for a while now.
