Catching The Waves: reviews of free netlabel & CC albums

[SampleScience]

Yes!

[Hitch]

Like a fly preserved in amber, Catching The Waves has survived the aeons to bring you yet another rather iffy review of some good free music.

I just thought you should know.

Oh noes, it's another grammatical car crash of a review of a free album from Catching The Waves, the world's laziest free music blog. Somehow, I can't look away...

Love to hear your take on it.

Thank you for alerting me to your music. You weren't kidding about the extreme! You probably won't be surprised to hear that I enjoyed Drifting Through The Wreckage the most out of the three albums. Although I respect your intentions, it must be difficult for all but the most committed ambient fans to cope with the unbroken 52-minute and 49-minute stretches of Mercury and Presence respectively. However, it's always difficult to strike a balance between artistic integrity and audience accessibility.

I found Drifting the most palatable by far and was impressed by the recording's fidelity; the mix is enjoyably spacious. If I may venture a criticism, the music might benefit from a little more movement: most of the tracks shared the same structure whereby one dominant sound morphed into another. Perhaps a change in structure, dynamics and timbre could prove more intriguing to the ear?

Note: Remember that I'm an anonymous idiot.

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I enjoyed listening to your music. Here's to more!

It seems the mescaline fudge cake must be working, because there's a new review of a free album at Catching The Waves. Now I need a cup of benzedrine tea.

Forgive the bump, but I thought I'd place a quick reminder that there's a new review of a free album at Catching The Waves. It's unusual for me to post reviews in quick succession... you'll be relieved to hear.
