5.0 out of 5 stars perfected eclectic, June 14, 2001

This CD has so much going for it. On the one hand, there's an eclectic musicality that borrows from sources as far and wide as Squeeze to Yes to Miles Davis. On the other hand, there are courageously personal lyrics that nevertheless evoke such strong empathy - the 'I know that feeling' factor. So, whether you're turned on or tuned in at the heart-level or the head-level, this CD really resonates.

To use an analogy: this CD is a real eco-tone. Eco-tones are places where different ecosystems border and link. They are places of particularly intense biodiversity, life and natural creativity. This CD's like that - its richness stems from the fusion of so many different musical influences and so many intense emotions.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guy is ama-a-a-a-a-a-z-ing!!!!!!!!!!, December 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Weight of Words (Audio CD)

I was given Slau's CD as a gift and all I can say is, "Wow!" This fellow is really amazing! Talk about touching nerves! If you've ever fallen in or out of love, you'll hear it in Slau's music and lyrics. He's "been there, done that," and shares the emotions in a way that anyone -- on either side of the equation -- can relate to! A very special artist. Give this CD to yourself as a gift and to someone you love...

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep and rolling, June 12, 2001

A marvelous journey of both depth and distance. Ranging from upbeat and frisky do downright moving. This album is an obvious exorcism of past demons but it contains a great deal of hope as well. Painfully honest and joyously real this album doesn't settle into a predefined genre or niche but is just flat out great.
