5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and moving CD, December 22, 1998

This review is from: Perfect Flaw (Audio CD)

The perfect flaw is a recording that manages to capture melody that haunts the soul. Tim Story somehow finds a way through his music, to create a feeling of desolation and hope at the same time.It is the same intricate balance that at times feels both futuristic and nostalgic at the same time. But quite simply, whatever Tim is trying to do with his music, one thing always stands out. It is always "moving". "the perfect flaw"(tims strongest)along with his other recordings always seem to connect with the soul. It is at the core of the soul where tim's stories unfold and seem to take the listener on a journey that is at times sad and always emotionally fulfilling. I highly recomend this recording as it truly stands out in a mass market of otherwise faux new age cd's. In addition to other Tim Story solo cd's, also check out his companion recordings with Dwight Ashley. (tim with a twist)

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet but complex, March 3, 2002

I love this album. In the true spirit of ambient although its not ambient. It is wonderful as background music but unlike much new age music it stands up to very careful listening. There are many subtle weavings of texture. Despite the apparent simplicity on first hearing the more you listen the more you'll hear. There is such depth that you can always find new things to fascinate and involve you each time you hear the album.

Gorgeously haunting is the way to describe some of the pieces on this disc. Story has a gift with minors, avoiding the sometimes staid and sappy sound of generic piano/synthesizer music and reaching instead for a higher, altogether more melancholy and lonely sound that touches the soul in deep places. A progression on some of the work featured on earlier Story, like "Beguiled", this album is one of my favorites in my collection, much played and much appreciated. Story doesn't get much better than this, in my honest opinion.
