Editorial Reviews

Making easy listening lounge music sound cool again

["Circus of Horror" is] a swoon-worthy, layered track as triumphant as the Go! Team and as beach-sexy as Studio.

Product Description

Comprised of master crate-digger Joel Martin and rising dance-music star Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave), Quiet Village make the old sound new and vice versa. Influenced by Italian film soundtracks, BBC library music, disco edits, acid rock, vintage soul and easy listening, they combine the most unlikely elements- bluesy guitar, chamber strings, air-raid sirens, shuffling breakbeats, even flutes and seagull cries--into an hour-long reverie with in soft focus.

Do you really want to hear something new?

Refreshing and new are two words that I can describe about this album.
It might be a house music but mixed with orchestra so does feel more like human.

If I should describe visually about their music, it should be 4D.

What makes a great album?...Quiet Village makes that statement true the very first song you hear. They transcend the vision between trance and house music to the songs your parents only wish you would listen to. What an album!...The songs seem to streamline the difference between what makes an album great. The best albums leave you with the feeling that the album itself is filled with compilations from the best works of individual artists. This one is no different. Enjoy!

I bought this CD for "Utopia" after hearing it on Satellite Radio. While this track is great, the quick repitition and low development in most of the other tracks on the CD gets old fast. You hear the same sound byte start over every 2-5 seconds, and changes are either few and far between or wrench the feel of the song around so much that you think another track has started. Maybe I'm too discriminatory against the "undefined" category, but this feels like walking a maze of mirrors: the same thing over and over punctuated by brief moments of confusion when you smack your head against a wall.
