: My general initial impression is that the
: album creates this relax and cruisy
: atmosphere and it's quite beautiful
: initially. Then the song is drags on for 10+
: minutes with various noodling on the
: instruments.
:
: I kind of describe it as ambient jazz music,
: interesting background music but I'm not
: sure it's a good idea to sit down and
: concentrating on it. It certainly gave me a
: more positive impression than other jazz
: album so far. Maybe the atmosphere will grow
: on me further.

: I feel like that will help a lot. It's
: extremely atmospheric.

: What I find so far is that when I listen to
: the frenzy section in something like 21st
: century schizoid man. I hear sounds of the
: apocalypse.
:
: When I listen to a lot of jazz (so far the
: davis, coltrane and mingus on the summary
: list), I just hear a trumpet solo. I don't
: really seem to 'get' the context/atmosphere
: or emotions on what the instruments playing
: represents. So far it is a collection of
: notes rather than anything emotional.

: I've decided to expand my horizons beyond
: the
: usual gamut of rock musicians by purchasing
: some jazz fusion music. I picked up Kind of
: Blue by Miles Davis, Unorthodox Behavior by
: Brand X and As Long as your living yours by
: Keith Jarrett in hopes that I might achieve
: the sophistication of my fellow alumni.
:
: Ay, but here's the rub. I find them all
: incredibly boring. Everytime I listen to em,
: I either can't sit still or I zone out and
: fall asleep. And in that sleep of death what
: dreams may come?
: Should I shuffle off this mortal coil and go
: back to listening to the likes of James
: Taylor and Collins era Genesis? Or is there
: better selections I could've made in
: jazzvile?
