Check this out, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Crystal Sounds (MP3 Download) Oh, this is a nice one. This is one of those goodies that the Amazon Fairy puts into the free bin occasionally, the ones that make you think, "Hey, you know, I actually would've paid $.99 for this, and I got it free!"I was happily surprised by the driving beat and interesting rhythm, the vaguely Lennonish vocals, and the unusual chord changes (a big plus in a world where it seems everyone uses the same chord progressions ad nauseam).

I really don't like the mix. The rhythm pattern never changes, and never seems to mercifully fade into the background. That type of percussion works extremely well with many of the Mannheim Steamroller pieces, but I don't think it worked here. I think the vocalist has a bright future, but I did not like the way he slid from phrase to phrase instead of moving cleanly. I don't think a singer must have the clarity and crispness of Pavarotti in order for me to like his work, but I think this singer's performance was really smarmy. If that was the singer's intended style I think he carried it off well, even if I didn't enjoy it. I offer my comments as criticism, not as... Read more |
