5.0 out of 5 stars THE HIDDEN RIFT is a superb ambient/space music album., June 27, 1999

This review is from: The Hidden Rift (Audio CD)

On THE HIDDEN RIFT, guitarist extraordinaire Jeff Pearce has produced music of sublime beauty, peace and introspection. Using just guitars and studio wizardry, Pearce brings forth slow patient washes of melodic warmth, drifting spacy ambience, and wave after wave of audio bliss. While two songs do sound like a guitar produced the music, the majority of this sounds like synthesizer (but it isn't!). The music is never ostentatious or melodramatic. Instead, it is minimal and suffused with a fragile beauty in the same way that Tim Story's keyboards are. It is ideal music for relaxing late at night, especially in the dark. Haunting, sublime, and exquisitely recorded, it is a must-have for lovers of either space or ambient music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully smooth and relaxing, April 20, 2006

Yet it's better than that -- this music can serve as either background vibes when that's what you want, or interesting and subtle music to listen to carefully. Pearce is one of the best at his genre, whatever that genre is.
