This review is from: Dreams of Tomorrow / Silhouettes (Audio CD)

Sometimes technology changes the sound of an artist's music, but not the underpinnings.


In the 1970s, Lonnie Liston Smith used analouge equipment to create a shimming space jazz, some of the best of which you can hear on Astral Traveling.

Smith's music was so glistening and keyboard based, it lent to digital sheens as the 1980s rolled around. That is what happens here: the music is a little more danceable, the bass more popping, and the surfaces of the music slicker.

You can argue about production values, 70s v. 80s. But Smith's writing is so consistently good--compositionally, he has not watered a thing down-that this music holds up as well as any of his work.

I love this record, very good tunes....don't think Lonnie Liston gets enough recognition for his talents. I'm just 21 and enjoy this album a lot, it's too bad other young people don't check this one out. It's a lot better than all the garbage they play on the radio anymore. Anyways, check this out if you wanna hear some smooth, relaxing jazz.....classic stuff here.

You have to be a LLS fan to know of his work. This is a good 80's style relaxing blend of pop and "smooth" jazz. You will not hear this on the local radios which is a shame. Since the individual albums are out of print this is a reasonable deal.
