This review is from: Kin (Audio CD)

I bought this cd based upon the reviews previously written, and also my approval of other releases from Waveform Records. This work by Kin proved to be another winner. The sound is "ambient," but also rhythmic, and it's musically complex enough to offer fresh sources of enjoyment even after repeated listenings.

The musical styles are varied enough to avoid becoming monotonous. "Pearl," with its female narrative voiceover during the first three minutes, reminded me of "Little Fluffy Clouds," The Orb's best-known track. "Triangle," perhaps my favorite track, is a ten-minute excursion into a trance-like vibe. Some other tracks have a heavy bass line contributing to a "dub-like" sound, similar to that characterizing another Waveform release, "Earthjuice."

Overall, this has quickly become one of my favorite cd's. I now wish I could find other ambient-techno works that are similarly inventive and interesting.

Yeah, this album is so so awesome. It's kind of acid jazzy, ambient, and chill. It's easy to listen to as background but just as easy to focus on without becoming bored. Very well produced.

I must say in loving Ambient/Newage music and beautiful melody laced with synthetic sounds, I must say this group has it all. Every Album that Ive heard from 'SOUNDS FROM THE GROUND'. Are worth buying. Most Groups have one or two songs that are pleasing to the ear. I have found that this group, has most all of its cuts on all of there Albums, very tasteful and beautiful. This particular Album Kin, is one of there best Albums/CD's along with all the rest. Listen to "Over There" and you would agree, the sample doesn't do it justice. Its very beautiful.
