5.0 out of 5 stars Another great turn
I've been eagerly awaiting this CD and I'm not disappointed. More great music from an innovative artist. The music shows growth and some risk-taking. I sense this is a more personal album than his first. But any introspection is balanced by upbeat and accessible melodies. Overall, though, it's the beauty of his music that I love, almost like a neo-dream pop sound.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not terrible, but not as special as the first
I found the first Maps album (We Can Create) to be a pleasant surprise of an album with such stunning songs as Elouise, Liquid Sugar, and Lost My Soul. Without much hesitation, I decided to purchase Turning The Mind as soon as I learned of its existence.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's really my type of music - whereas the first album had some atmospheric...

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first album, October 11, 2010
This review is from: Turning the Mind (Audio CD)
I thought the first Maps album was a little boring and to my surprise this one is a bit more upbeat and to my likening. Great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars Where are you going?, November 5, 2009
This review is from: Turning the Mind (Audio CD)
First off, if you're new to Maps and haven't given his debut "We Can Create" a good listen, then please go out and do so . . . otherwise, I'm assuming you're already a Maps fan, and want to know if his second release is worthy. I suppose it's a valid question, but, really, need you even ask? All tracks are quintessential Maps, but a few have an electronica vibe that'll jolt you from (or further?) your hypnotic state. Love it.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's really my type of music - whereas the first album had some atmospheric songs that had space in the mix, this album struck me as overly compressed 80's dance music.
