4.0 out of 5 stars Chilled downbeat coolness, Nov 21 2003

By

Atte Saarela (Helsinki Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Terra Firma (Audio CD)

The tracks 1-4 are really mellow and downtempo, feels like the tracks 5-8 make up the body of this album, they are all really good in their own ways. Track 9 seemed somehow too long.

I think I liked "Kin" slightly more than this, because "Kin" had kind of a rougher edge to it, more intense. If I could somehow inject a touch of additional chaos into "Terra Firma", I think I'd like it even more, but it's still really good as it is, good as both listening and background music. I'd give it about 4.4 stars..

5.0 out of 5 stars An introspective nightwalk through an urban underbelly., May 14 2001

My title bests sums up what "Terra Firma" comes across as to me. It's beautiful! Another great late-night drive or chill album from the Waveform label. I don't have "Kin" yet so a comparison cannot be made, but I love what I hear. "Drugstore", "Marsmellow" and "Mineral" have an especially urban flavor. The former being rather ominous and the latter, with it's sassy and sultry saxaphone sample, seems perfect for cruising the red-light district of some european city. "Marsmellow" is mid-tempo funky fun. "Shine" seems perfect for playing Hackeysack. (I hope that's how it's spelled). "Rye" is arguably my favorite piece. Very mysterious and meditative. Feels like something is "building" while we sleep in the night.

Only tracks four and nine seemed week to me. Not bad!

Very addictive. I won't get tired of this one anytime soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, Oct 27 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Terra Firma (Audio CD)

Absolutely a fantastic CD, that could not have existed in the vinyl age, because excessive playing would not make it last long! The only minus of this CD is that some tracks have disturbing 'static' noise, that seems to be included in the samples. The music however is superb. Brilliant ambient music that keeps surprising the listener.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer atmoshpere and grooves on this cd!
This is nothing less than an excellent follow-up and probably an even better album than SFTG's first album "KIN". Read more

Nice stuff - trippy, hoppy, great jazz feel without those self indulgent solos. Reminds me of the other New Crime gendre CDs avaliable in the last 5 years. Read more
