5.0 out of 5 stars Telling stories and making you dream..., April 27, 2001

By 

Anne Derek (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bamboo Shadows (Audio CD)

If you like movie soundtracks, you will love this album. It's music that evokes images, tells stories and makes you dream. Don't expect anything conventional or pastiche. Definitively something different here. The artist's music is original all the time -- we have here another evidence that electronic music can be very good music. If you check the CD you will understand what I am talking about.

5.0 out of 5 stars For The Pleasure Of Your Ears..., March 11, 2001

By 

"stlgreenblatt" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bamboo Shadows (Audio CD)

This is a CD you want to listen over and over again. The more my ears understand the involving musical universe delivered Mario Vaz De Mello, the more bemused and enchanted I get. For those who like good instrumental music and music that goes against the rules (and this one sounds excellent!) BAMBOO SHADOWS is a must.
