Spacious, unhurried, evocative, atmospheric, at times mysterious. Relaxing and engaging. Great bass guitar work. Very listenable, gently melodic yet not always predictably so. The kind of fascinating, easy to take album you would want if only there was some way for you to hear it. Take the leap of faith. This is a wonderful CD that won't disappoint you. Listen to it with the lights out and let your mind wander.

5.0 out of 5 stars green field, November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Field Recordings From The Cook County Water Table (Audio CD)

This cd is hopeful and free. It is the only thing I can listen to that literally puts me in the mind of an expansive green field and perhaps a tree in the distance. The imagination of the musicians and the careful,specific direction of where the music takes you is pure genious. Influences range, but are not limited to, sound tracks from Clint Eastwood's spagetti westerns, Brazilian samba and Eno's, Music for Airports. Magical, intimate and trusting. The best part of this work is that it returns to a theme and develops ideas throughout, something rare in today's musicians who may enjoy less staying power (read virility). How sexy is that?

5.0 out of 5 stars it ain't broke, find the love, June 29, 2003

It's a melodic, melliflous album, that due to the kind recommendation of a good friend, even at this late date, I am loathe to take it too far away from my cd changer. It has everything: melody, sampling, nature, faux-nature, sunset and sunrise as it attributes. Yum!
