5.0 out of 5 stars Lush and dreamy ambient for adults, January 2, 1999

By	docmayhw@kdsi.net (Fairfield, Iowa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Midsummer Century (Audio CD)

You float through this music on soft and languid clouds of syth while the haunting melodies are carried often by acoustic instruments. Jonn Serrie is so tasteful. With this album he began his move away from planetarium space music, a genre of which he was the absolute master, to something more romantic. This is wonderful music for making love, bodywork, dreaming and astral traveling. It has a heavenly, otherworldly tranquility to it. Throughout, this music is refined and intensely well created.You think of Serrie as a composer with historical echoes of Ravel and Debussy,only what he writes is 50 years ahead of any other ambient composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative, February 3, 2005

By	J. Alfier (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Before I purchased this CD I discovered it on an internet radio broadcast. There was a powerfully pastoral salience to Serrie's music that emerged above the other new age selections I was listening to that caused me to pause and go to my computer and see what was playing; each time I checked it was 'Midsummer Century.' I find 'Midsummer Century' more evocative of a deeper peacefulness than I found in recordings of similar genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Emotion, November 4, 1999

By	"jcvito" (Stamford, CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Midsummer Century (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite Jonn Serrie albums. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is written with tremendous emotion and a seeming longing for something unfulfilled. Only Jonn can make this kind of feeling come through a keyboard.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Serrie's best!
This was the first CD I bought of Serrie's. It's a little lighter than his deep space work (Planetary Chronicles) but still ambient rather than typical new-age. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not music, people
If you are looking for music, I advise listening to someone else. If you like listening to calculated noise, then this is more in line for you. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply hypnotic
The first four tracks are the exceptions to the remainer of the CD and are appealing to most anyone. Read more
