I have been aware of this album for years but only picked up a copy a few months ago. Rarely will you read a bad review of it either from critics or listeners but I'm afraid I have to buck the trend. I found this to be an entirely unengaging listen. The idea of music being there simply to create a background atmosphere has been around for a long time of course. It is called Muzak! I have listened to this album several times, late at night and have given it my undivided attention and there is the problem. There is very little movement or melody to provoke any emotional involvement when you actually LISTEN to it. If I wanted to create a background ambience I could leave the tap on or buy a cockatoo!
As a lover of Ambient music I expected this to live up to the hype but please don't take my word for it - pick up a copy, just don't expend much effort listening to it...
