I kinda like it. It's a bit irritating at first, and I can see it irritating all of my friends, but I enjoyed it a lot toward the middle -- tracks 7-11 are my favorites. Unfortunately, it doesn't cross the threshold of dance-able for me, so I don't know if I'll give it another listen.
Usually with this kind of music, I'd listen to it as background music at work and proceed to be extremely efficient. It definitely is not distracting, but it doesn't really help me get into the zone -- it's almost too lively. I kinda get what is meant about the Cassablanca thing, but I don't think any of these tracks convey a storyline. Just a bit too noisy. :/ 3/5 overall, though. |

Glad to see that you havenīt abandoned MB, misspoptart. Your comments on Pianoriental were very welcome, especially as they mirror what I feel about this album.
First hearing, I didnīt like it much, then it suddenly grew on me for a while, but now itīs withering again. As you suggest, itīs got this really busy vibe which is right on the borderline of irritating. The guy is a formidable player, but I really wish -and Iīm not recommending that anyone try this at home- I really wish he would take some recreational drugs or something and slow down the pace a bit. Track after track of all that relentless dexterity gets rather exhausting - so I pretty much agree with you, misspoptart. Anyway, many thanks for giving it a listen, and Iīm sorry if itīs not really as interesting as it looks. For that reason Iīm voting it disappointing, because thatīs how itīs been for me tbh.
