Passing Strange

Ambient Visions Reviews 09-05-01 Jim Brenholts
"This CD is packed with TOO many surprises and great tracks."

Product Description
"This set features seven artists firmly rooted in the textural electronic approach to musical composition-think Cluster, Eno, Klaus Schultz and other pioneers from the German school of sonic mind expansion, along with such modern texturalists as Sedona-based composer Steve Roach. "New Age" this isn't, however; the orchestral chord washes and temple-bell sounds of John Pemble's "Unanswered Questions" might suggest some inner-child nurturing, but the collection takes a more aggressive, darker turn on the final three cuts,all by locals: Kirk Watson's "Foward Steps" slithers along on a serpentine cinematic groove; on Biff Johnson's "Lupin," the serene tableau masks a sinister undertow; David Hastings'rollicking "Brush With The Lions" is kinda like ROBO COP mated with "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving With a Plot." Ergo, brain candy."Jackson Griffith, Sacramento News & Reviews.
