5.0 out of 5 stars Great Musicianship
Great album. Listened to songs on NPR's Speaking of Faith. Great mix of instruments. Great background music. Sets a good mood and feeling.

3.0 out of 5 stars The mellowest record ever from Portastatic
While Portastatic's first film score "Looking For Leonard" sounded a lot like a Portastatic instrumental record, "Who Loves The Sun" takes the plunge directly into a more "cinematic" sound -- if you didn't know who it was, you'd certainly not guess from the mellow, sunny arrangements and (gasp) flutes... and... strings?

This review is from: Who Loves the Sun: Original Film Score (Audio CD)
While Portastatic's first film score "Looking For Leonard" sounded a lot like a Portastatic instrumental record, "Who Loves The Sun" takes the plunge directly into a more "cinematic" sound -- if you didn't know who it was, you'd certainly not guess from the mellow, sunny arrangements and (gasp) flutes... and... strings?

Here, in fact, is where the strings come in.

This is one your grandmother could enjoy, or a fan of lugubrious 60's Italian pop, or even your conservative Republican uncle. Play it for them, then divulge that they've been listening to indie rock all along!

Mac McCaughan has been diligent -- there's a lot of film soundtrack history in evidence here, from short transitional pieces like "Maggie and Mary" to the airy piano piece "Snake Music." McCaughan has taken his considerable pop chops and applied them to instrumental storytelling with an intriguing and limited palette of instruments.
