5.0 out of 5 stars Like a breeze of cold air from the sea, Jun 28 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Systems/Layers (Audio CD)

I was a little bit worried that I wouldn't like this album so I put off buying it for a long time. Now that I finally did, i cant stop listening to it! Rachel's never fail to amaze me and I'm always left totally floored. They are probably one of the most talented, innovative groups to date. Honestly, there is not another band like them! This album has some resemblence to The Sea And The Bells (incredible album), but it's still very different from the stuff they've done before. It's much more ambient. My favorite song is "Water From The Same Source"...it almost drives me to tears everytime I hear it. That's how beautiful it is.

4.0 out of 5 stars interesting and varied, April 2 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Systems/Layers (Audio CD)

I'm becoming a big Rachel's fan. I heard "Last things last", which is hosted on Epitonic, and then came here to pick up the album. Be warned that the generally tonal and vocal-piano LTL track is not representative of the rest of the album! It's incredibly varied: there are some really interesting electronic experiments (nothing too out there), some jazz-like percussion work, -- it's just an amazing, taste-expanding album.

This review is from: Systems/Layers (Audio CD)

ok. so i had heard rachel's around here and there, but never a full album or any thing. my friend downloaded the song "Last Things Last" and i freaked out. it was so good! so i ordered systems/layers. i got it today and it is amazing
heart felt, meticulous string arangements, but it all feels so abtract. definitely rocking my world.
with all of the ambient noise and field recordings it reminds me of a more melodic SET FIRE TO FLAMES. but it is really hard to compare this record to anything else...ever...EVER!
