4.0 out of 5 stars Relaxed; comes with stunning visuals, February 14, 2003

This album was a pleasant surprise. While not as diverse and upbeat as my favorite "Hed Phone Sex", it is nice, relaxed, and diverse - with a good mixture of shorter and longer tracks. While the tracks are relaxing, the album certainly won't make you fall asleep - but it is certainly is good music to read by.

The DVD that comes with this album features about half the tracks and comes with visuals that are at times stunning, at times funny, and overall make it a long trippy experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, April 5, 2003

This review is from: Fast Asleep (Audio CD)

This CD/DVD package is one of my favorite recent purchases. Funki Porcini expands on his trademark jazz/psychedelic/downtempo sound and incorporates some lush ambient atmospheres. The DVD strikes me as something Pink Floyd could have created if they were still in business. It's that good. However, it may not be suitable for your typical no-attention span having American. It's subtle, deep, and patient. I highly recommend this to anyone searching for meaningful music and visuals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good ambient album, November 16, 2003

Great music for getting that floaty feeling. Catchy ambient sounds and melodies, using many natural sounding instruments give it a good jazzy groove. Also contains a DVD with what I've heard termed as 'visualisations' for all the songs. They're not exactly videos, but neat little visual snippets with a very spacy, meditative feel. Great public transportation music.
