3.0 out of 5 stars
Very ......... nice....., May 25, 2007
This review is from: Come Into Our House (Audio CD)
When I first heard this cd (not having any knowledge of Nick Castro's work) I was quite taken in by the pleasing sounds, the great singing voices, the seemingly eclectic choice of instruments and directions and the unexpected lengthy wordless soundscapes. This, I assumed, is a cd with a modern and interesting take on folk.
Unfortunately, listening to it repeatedly only had the effect of lessening its first impact. On the surface there really is nothing wrong with the music, but, alas, it is not very inspiring, daring or even new. It just sounds fine. So pleasing, nice, with hints of the exotic it could be a perfect gift - to anyone. And that, to my mind, is a deadly qualification.
