3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Lightweight, August 4, 2009

By	Karl W. Nehring (Ostrander, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are a Mark Isham fan, you might want to seek this CD out, for Isham plays on several cuts, and the general musical mood of the CD is much like that of a Mark Isham CD. The late Gil Evans also played on a few cuts (for me, that is no plus, but there are probably some Gil Evans fans amongst our readership). Guitarist Ray Russell has a varied musical background that includes rock, soul, jazz, and television scoring. Overall, the music on Childscape seems a little lightweight, but if like me you can't get enough of Mark Isham, then you will probably enjoy listening to this. The title cut made my family, who were sitting in the other room, look around curiously to see where the baby noises were coming from. Using the logic espoused by some audio equipment reviewers, that means either the sound quality is really excellent or else my family is kind of gullible.
