5.0 out of 5 stars Get Lost in this Darkwood, May 14, 2001
By "pezhydrox" (FPO, AE USA) - See all my reviews
David Darling's sonnorous music moves gently, slowly, often in the depth's of the cello's range. This is appropriate for it conveys an intended woody-ness and darkness. The music is sparse - not unlike music for the shakuhachi, the Japanese baboo flute - and not minimalist as some have described (at least not in the sense of Terry Riley, Philip Glass, John Adams or Steven Reich). Nor is it depressing; it is instead the woods at dusk - haunting, foreboding, and intensely beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best soothing dark albums ever, May 18, 2004
By A Customer
The sonorous cello tones that rhythmically ride through this album make it one of my favorite albums ever, and a favorite of many I have shared it with. It is not a typical taste. It is dark and, literally the feeling tones of a dark wood instrument come to life. It is the feeling of moving through a beautiful night in a dark forest. A music to match a heavy heart and lift it up into something more sublime and optimistic. Highest recommendation if you like rich slow music that is never boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favorites, September 29, 2000
By A Customer
I can't believe no one else has ever reviewed this CD because it is one of my favorite instrumental CD's of all time. This CD is solo cello with a dark edge. If you like new age music and dark ambient music, you should really enjoy this CD because it is kind of a merger of the two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different!
I liked the clips of this music when I heard it, and was not familiar with the artist. You must be in a mood to listen to this CD. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good album, but short measure.
This is a good album of dark, introspective, solo cello music. As much as ECM has a reputation as a jazz label, much of their music is more new age than jazz, and this album is no... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Shakuhachi cello
This is beautiful, spare and meditative, like shakuhachi cello. Its only flaw is that it's a little grim; but that doesn't mar its beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible deep, deep music....
Nobody plays the cello as well as David Darling. This is his best album ever! I've heard it over and over again, and each time I get more insight into his music! Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Profound Listening, Like A 24 Hour Full Moon
This is essentially a "solo" album, it is David Darling playing as a multi-tracked cello orchestra. Read more
