5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to hear the upcoming full cd, January 30, 2000

Ode Music has been out for about 2 or 3 weeks now here in Belgium, and now I finally have the chance to write a review for this cd. It is completely instrumental, as it is meant to be the soundtrack for a movie nobody will probably ever see. But the cd can easily be listened to without seeing any images. Just make your own images while you're getting carried away by these great soundscapes. A must for all Palace fans of course, and a fantastic teaser for the upcoming full cd (hopefully in March).

5.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of a cold glass of water., April 13, 2007

If you're looking for Oldham's voice, you've got a wide world to explore--elsewhere. Here, it's music stripped down to deceptive basics. I say "deceptive" because there's so much to love and enjoy in these tracks; I've been listening to this CD for seven years now and haven't yet tired of it. I write to this music; I cook to it; I read and think and doze to it. It's soothing, but at the same time it's conducive to productive thought. Yes, these songs are plain. Yes, they feature repetition. And it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Time Will Oldham listener, June 13, 2000

I am a first time Will Oldham listener. I got his CD Ode Music for free from Will Oldham himself. He lives a few houses down from my home, his CD is pretty good and I really like it although he repeats his sequence of music in most of the tracks, but the music is pretty relaxing to me and it's a perfect 5.
