sweet dreams are made of ..., August 19, 2005
This review is from: Playing With Time (Audio CD)
This guy's gotta be one of the best producers and electronic music makers out there. This album is a progression from earlier releases and literally lives up to its name. It's amazing what Mr.Van Hoen can do with some simple musical elements, completely exploring every detail and bringing it to fruition. As always, there are traces of Seefeel here,with repetition and rhythm playing key roles in track progression, as well as the dreamy, somewhat slightly off focus production. And no Mark Van Hoen-related release is complete without some deep dark bassline action. This album is both easy yet challenging on the ears. It is at once beautiful and frightening, innocent and sexy. The final,minimal reverb-drenched piano melody (called "Love is All") loops on for about thirty (!) minutes, lulling the listener to sleep in a dream of sweet eternal bliss ( even though the majority of the disc is wondeful driving music,i'd reserve this track for the sofa, or the bed) .Go and hunt this one down folks.This is a crucial release.
