5.0 out of 5 stars another masterpiece, August 15, 2001

By

This review is from: Salvage (Audio CD)

This Is one of my favorite CD's of 2000 .. In fact Six degree's made most of my favorite CD's of 2000. I was shocked at how little people have heard of this album since its is so wonderful.

This album maintains a constant use of natural sounds making you almost forget that its electronic at all. Tom uses a wide variety of liuve instrument tation and carefull sampling to achieve this perfect blend. Along with his original organic electronic sounds, he creates something highy wonderful. I am constantly listening to this album the whole time I have it playing. This isn't wallapaper its something you feel compelled to focus on. Much like the subtle nature of Mile Davis' Kinda of blue, where even though everything is rather calm, you still pay full attention. I don't just reccomend this album, I belive its a must buy for any fan of world/electronic music.

5.0 out of 5 stars It has Kalimbas!!!, August 30, 2000

OK. Imagine the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, still with the same sense of humor and musical talent, and then add kalimbas!! This is a great CD. It is not your ordinary music, as you can tell just by listening to the first tune, Scarborough Fair. This rendition is still true to the spirit of Simaon and Garfunkle (if you don't believe me play them, one after the other). Since the samples on the web are so short, go to the cut "two kalimbas and a synth" to get a feel for the inspired use of odd instrumental combinations on this CD. The Six Degrees label usually produces winners, and this is definitely one of them!! I highly recommend this CD.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's good, but not great., October 28, 2003

Okay okay... This album is quite a letdown, to be honest. It's got some great bits to it... Each song is beautiful, but they don't go anywhere...
The best track is easily Scarborough Fair or Malcom's Loop, but the problem is all the tracks on the CD sound exactly the same.
Lost in Space has some great pianowork, as does Urban Fox.
Twisted Standards and Cutting Branches are rich in rhythm but lack melody and both are too bright sounding.
Irish in China and In Five are both average and the whole album was well put together, it just needed some variation.
Salvage is a wonderful album, don't get me wrong, you should buy it if you're a fan of the sound pioneered by the Afro Celt Sound System, just pickup thier 1994 release first.. It's much better.
