Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Another entry in the jam-band jazz category (once known as fusion), this four-piece offers a rewarding balance of experimentation and soulfulness, much like Medeski Martin & Wood in spirit if not sound. Taking cues from 1970s funk-jazz ensembles like Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters band and Weather Report, Schleigho use the "groove" wisely, but are not slaves to it. The ever-shifting rhythms and exploratory improvisations keep things interesting most of the way. Songs will often zig-zag, as they do on the title track, on which a steady walking-bass head will morph into quirky stop-time passages with dissonant acoustic piano. The key element of the quartet is the keyboard work of Jesse Gibbon. It's not so much what he's playing (which is often outstanding), as it is the actual sounds he derives from his electric keys, very much inspired by Head Hunters-era Hancock. The other main soloist, Suke Cerulo, moves capably from guitar to flute to sax, adding variety to the proceedings. Schleigho succeeds by maintaining a balance between their probing rock tendencies and their funk jones, all of it polished just enough with a jazz sensibility and dexterity. --Marc Greilsamer

No sophomore jinx here. One year after the release of Secret Observatory, his sterling U.S. debut, Swedish studio wiz Stefan Jonsson (a.k.a. Between Interval) pulls back the curtain on another absorbing museum piece for the ear, Autumn Continent. It is a work of mystery, shadowy moonscapes, and imagination-stretching audio vistas that spans 73 minutes over 10 seamless movements--a recording that could conceivably serve as the soundtrack for a future Terminator 6, only without a pall of danger or anxiety clinging to the music. Jonsson's unhurried electronic textures evoke slowly changing images, often suggesting stark landscapes that could either be areas of emerging beauty or lifeless plains where the dust from an intergalactic apocalypse has begun to settle. He expands his palette of sounds on Autumn, introducing randomly struck bowls as an otherworldly form of percussion ("Submerged"), threading a Tangerine Dream-like electro-pulse into "The Tides of Time," even creating a rhythmic cadence that transports listeners above a vast, unknown sea ("Early Life Remainings"). It all contributes to an engrossing listening experience, making it easy to overlook the few occasions where Jonsson uses repetition to lend a hint of "musicality" to his sonic abstractions, briefly diminishing the distinctiveness of his sound. The overarching splendor of Jonsson's concepts is unmistakable and wholly involving, making him a space-music artist worthy of close attention. --Terry Wood
Album Description
"This album hits it right on the nail." -EXPOSE
A timeless new release from an outstanding, fresh Swedish talent, Autumn Continent is a superbly crafted blend of ambient and electronic downtempo environments. Provocative but not intimidating, subterranean explorations are balanced with a sense of light from an otherworldly perspective. Between Interval has created an organic atmosphere that is accessible and thoughtful without the clichés of modern electronic music. Previous release, Secret Observatory, hailed as a top pick ambient release and selected by Amazon.com's New Age Editor as the Best of 2005.
Customer Reviews:
At last - a european voice in the void.......2007-03-27
+1 for distinctive ambient sound (so different from Lustmord / Roach &c.)
+1 for the best European space ambient I have heard since...well, ever!
+1 for unpretentiousness - makes music to chill to
+1 deliberately NOT a follow on of Secret Observatory - highly original
-1 for too much analogue noodling on track #5 - TD did this better in 1973
Bottom line: Compelling deep space ambient - looking forward to what's next!
Isolated Ambience .......2007-02-06
Sublime, relaxing layers of sound sweep over you like the last warm breezes at the end of summer, rustling a few leaves. Spacious worlds warm into a delicate isolated ambience. This is an album to listen to when you are spending the night in a contemplative mood. Within the approaching silence there is a crisp hint of ice in the air.
At times "Hidden Wastelands" seems to almost disappear and then it emerges in a silky tribal infusion that leads to a sensuous warm soothing trance trajectory.
"The Tides of Time" draws you deeply into this album, saturating your consciousness with a deep sigh of peace. "Passageway" shimmers with long forgotten dreams and then awakens into new discoveries with a dark ambient wave and hints of falling stars.
The subtle pulsing energies in "Early Life Remainings" has a delicate hint of passion that breaks free into rhythmically sensual mood. The next three tracks follow this lead but mellow into warm rapturous infusions of intoxicating dreams. "Atrium" is a moody haze while "Autumn Continent 2" seems to embody a wistful longing. The mood is one of being completely alone and completely connected, as if your soul is wandering far away and has found peace.
"Between Interval" is the type of music you listen to deep into the night or while sinking into warm water or as you fall into dreams. This is relaxing music that still holds within its power an exciting revelatory element, the type that speaks softly of artistic elegance all while leaving you in a state of awe at the musical mastery.
~The Rebecca Review
Superb CD.......2006-08-29
I really loved the first CD, Secret Observetory, but this CD is just as good if not better. It creates a deep theta type trance and is super relaxing, yet remains very interesting. A great CD to use with mind machines or alone. As good as any Steve Roach or Robert Rich work. Excellent CD.

Best Scifi movie of the 60's and beyond.......2003-10-28
This is my all time favourite scifi movie of all time, next to the trek series. The music is brilliant and really brings out the emotion, and Rod Taylor's escapades as he stuggles with the morlocks and Weena.....I recommend this CD and movie to all. Dont judge the movie by its cover or because its a little dusty, The time machine is a masterpiece!
Great CD.......2003-07-24
Excellent soundtrack. Well recorded (considering how old it is). Overall: EXCELLENT.
Classic Score for a Wonderful Movie.......2003-02-22
Musical scores either engage you or hide behind the recesses of your mind in the action. This stirring Russell Garcia score does both. It brings out the emotions when it needs to and, for a better word, "adorns" this wonderful movie when it has to.
After listening, all of the memories of the movie came pouring back. Of course, I own the video, too. But it is wonderful to finally hear it in this format.
For years, I was dogged by a sneaking suspicion about one particular 5-note "motive" that Mr. Garcia uses in the Main Theme. It is the lilting "after-though" of the theme.
Finally, tonight after listening to Tchaikovsky's "The Tempest" on the radio, I realized where I had heard this before. I certainly recommend any fan of the TIME MACHINE score to have a listen to the whole of this other score. You will be pleasantly surprised at the Tchaikovsky version and development of that motive.
Normally, this sort of friendly cut-and-paste annoys me, but for some reason, Mr. Garcia's score uses it in such a wonderful place in his score and I don't mind one bit.
But it is neat to finally know - after ALL these years - just where that "catchy" motive was first heard. Just some minor trivia there for us TIME MACHINE fans.
I recommend this wholeheartedly to those who were equally stirred by the movie....which I can return to repeatedly - and I recommend - as well. Enjoy and reminisce!
After all, you have 'all the time in the world'.
I would love to rate this CD.....................2003-01-17
I would love to rate this CD....... However, the seller sent me the wrong disk, which may not be entirely his fault. You see, there were two movies of the SAME name made. They are Both H.G.Wells' "The Time Machine", and they are both "Original Motion Picture Soundtracks." However, the composer for the first film is Russell Garcia and the composer for the second is Klaus Badelt. The first disk also has a track of music from "Atlantis: The Lost Continent".
The disk from the first film is the one I wanted, but I got the disk from the second film. I clicked on the picture from the first film and looked at the music titles that were offered and every thing seemed to be correct, but I still got the WRONG disk. Please do not get me wrong. The music from the second film is very well done with a full orchestra and I do not mind keeping it. I rate the "wrong" disk with five stars even though it is NOT the one I thought I had ordered. But now, how do I get the one I really wanted. If I click on the same picture again, will I get the same wrong disk?.
Bob Pease
Beautiful music!.......2002-09-14
I've always loved the background music of this movie and now i have the CD and i'm pretty impressed. The one very noticeable difference is the opening number. It doesn't have the same power of lows as the film itself which makes me think that this cast recording must have been the original orchestrations before the end product of the film.When i do play this CD i find myself acting along to the movie,,,,i guess i've seen the movie way to many times. Never-the-less it's a great CD and after all these years i'm glad i was able to find it on Amazon. After all if you can't find it on Amazon then it must not exist.

Outside Inside Atlantis
A news bulletin caught my eye just days before I started on this review. "Atlantis discovered in Ireland". My philosophy remains the same as it was since the fourth grade. Scientists do not know everything. Now, many decades later my theory is that Atlantis may not have been an island in the North Atlantic, or a supposed salt marsh in Spain or even a real place. After listening to Eric McCarl's new album Atlantis Lost, my theories may have been confirmed.
Solo piano composer Eric McCarl gained notoriety with the release of his first album, Seeking the Light Within, the first episode in his Trilogy of Light series. In the second installment, Atlantis Lost, McCarl musically brings to vivid life emotional and spiritual concepts that have remained dormant for more than twenty years.
The first cut, The Runner, is a call to action as the story unfolds. Peril draws near and our Mercurial messenger has but a short time to give the cry of warning. Over craggy rock and sandy shore the runner presses on to the city of Atlantis. There is an incredible sense of urgency in the music as McCarl draws from Mozart's Symphony #25 in G minor. The music has that "silent movie" feel to it that raises an alarm and that paves the way for the forthcoming action.
Atlantis Lost, the title track is one of the longest and best cuts on the album. It is a wonder how McCarl can get so much music out of one piano. The song is a contemporary number with threads of emotional nuance woven throughout. Although we still do not know exactly what cataclysm befell the great paradise of Atlantis, we feel the incredible sense of dispossession. It is as if the pointed finger of some unseen god has poked a hole in our own universe only to let escape all of our sense of well-being. Could this be what Adam and Eve felt at the loss of their paradise? As I listened to this song, I could not help but think of all the people in Florida who were victims of hurricane Charley. I cannot even for a moment pretend to understand their pain of loss.
The track No More Tears is extremely emotional. Forlorn in its minimalist arrangement, it is a melodic depiction of regrets and goodbyes. It suggests to us that we must move on. Our world has collapsed around us and yet there may be some hope. Perhaps in the new dawn's amber light there may be something more.
Tell Me Why is one man's search for the answers. Twenty years ago when McCarl originally wrote down these notes he could not possibly have known that today he would be searching for the answers to some of the same questions he had as a younger man. As in the fall of Atlantis, man questions the very wisdom of the gods, or when towers are destroyed by hurtling jetliners or when one man's life is taken by terrorists for a crooked concept of justice. Maybe if we had the right questions? Tell Me Why is my favorite cut on Atlantis Lost.
The epitome of introspection, Lost At Sea is a symbolic look at where we are today. It is an observation as to the state of man's affairs in our world. So many of us seem to be foundering in a rough sea of confusion, but luckily, the music gives us a bit of direction. We may be lost at sea, but for the way home or for some of the answers, we might only have to look inside our selves. To me, this is what McCarl's music is all about. As in his previous work, he suggests that we are the source. Our inner strength and our faith are the essence that keeps us buoyant.
A sense of yearning is evident in Eric's contemplative finale Far Away. There is a lightness to it that is less obvious in the rest of the album. Perhaps it is a respite after a stormy occurrence. It is calming like the first golden rays of the sun as it peeks out of the ocean. It is like the first sip of a cool drink of water. Unfortunately, it only makes us want more of the same and sometimes it is... far away.
Eric McCarl's second offering, Atlantis Lost, is refreshment for the weary spirit. Using a highly polished mirror made of music, our vision is turned inward as we struggle for the answers. His music reinforces the fact that we are stronger than we think and there is more hope available than we know. Atlantis Lost is different from Seeking the Light Within. In some ways it is more sophisticated, yet it remains complimentary to McCarl's overall theme.
For Eric McCarl's biography see my review of Seeking the Light Within.

Independent reviewer for the New Age Reporter
from Solo Piano Publications.......2004-08-23
"Atlantis Lost" is the second release in the "Trilogy of Light" series, and is made up of music pianist Eric McCarl composed twenty years ago. He had left a lucrative job in the computer industry to devote all of his energy and time to composing this music. In the liner notes, McCarl writes, "Atlantis Lost represents a great leap of faith, and maybe more so, my personal conversations with God at a time when everyone around me told me that my beliefs were unjustified." Overall, the music has a sense of very deep inner exploration and reflection. While much of it is rather dark and pensive, there is always a sense of hope. McCarl's style is difficult to categorize - a good thing, I think, in this cookie-cutter world. There are jazz and classical influences as well as new age, but it's not really any of the above. As a youth, McCarl studied many different musical instruments as well as the piano, and that experience shows in his musicianship. All fifteen tracks are solo piano, and the piano sound itself is gorgeous. This music begs to be listened to carefully and thoughtfully, and weaves a story that deserves to be heard. It isn't dinner party background music. Structured enough to feel composed, and yet improvisational enough to feel free and spontaneous, McCarl does an exceptionally good job of making both approaches work together.
The first three tracks are on the upbeat side. "The Runner" is full of energy, and makes it easy to visualize someone running on a beautiful island. "City of Light" is almost carefree - warm and contented. The title track is more tragic. Very open and improvisational, it conveys a deep sense of loss and questioning. An affecting piece, this seems to be McCarl at his most soul-bearing. "Victoria" is a quiet beauty - melancholy and searching. "Silhouette in Red" is a favorite. Built on a very spare melody line that wanders throughout the piece, there are some jazz and even some blues touches. "No More Tears" is reflective and bittersweet. The darkly mysterious "Symphonique" and "Tell Me Why" are also favorites.
Eric McCarl's is a unique and promising voice in the world of solo piano. With his message of peace and hope while at the same time "waging war against ignorance and injustice," may his voice be heard and understood. Recommended!
Atlantis Lost.......2004-08-20
I first discovered Eric McCarl's music on solopianoradio.com. The cut that caught my attention was "Lost At Sea". So haunting, so beautiful. I wanted to know who was playing that piano and I wanted to hear more. I e-mailed Eric and was grateful to hear that Atlantis Lost was on its way.
And now it's here.
Atlantis Lost guides the listener through many genres and many emotions. There's sweetness and sadness and searching and strength. There's the sensitive piano touch of a gentle soul beautifully mixed with new age, classical and even jazz-blues fingerings. There are also heart-crafted chords that focus and build much like one would focus and build the strength necessary to pursue a goal or a dream.
There is something different about Eric's music...something that made his sound stand out from all the other amazingly talented pianists on solopianoradio.com. I have yet to put my finger on what it is that's so wonderfully unique about the man's music but I'm more than happy to keep listening to try to figure it out.
And I invite you to listen too.

There are better CD's.......2006-12-11
I had this review under a different CD (The Best of Final Fantasy 1994-1999), but it was also under a different user-name (actually, same user-name, but it had quote marks around it, somehow making it a different account. That's all irrelevant to this CD, though)
This CD isn't exactly the worst out there, but it has some points where it comes pretty close. Track one is good once you get used to it. At first it sounds sucky, but it gets better. The second one is about the same as the second half of the first one but is done with different instruments. The third one is absolutely horrible! Skip it at all costs! The Prelude could be better, mostly longer and with the crystal-like sound of FFVII and FFIV instead of the cheap piano keyboard. The opening theme could be done much better. Preferably like it was done in FF Generation S. There is absolutely no life in this track, whereas if you listen to Final Fantasy S Generations, you can definitely tell the difference. To list just a couple of reasons: there's about two minutes more music on S Generations than on this CD, and the music is orchestrated making it feel more alive. Cosmo Canyon was done pretty well, if not a little fast for the original pace. If they had slowed the tempo down a bit it would've been perfect. I personally didn't have any problems with the Shinra March, and it does have a catchy tune. The eighth one was incredibly ridiculous!!! Once again I refer to the FF Generation S. That was done 1000 percent better and didn't use cheap electronic synth vocals. The vocals aren't even understandable. The ninth track is pretty much the same as the second one of FF Generation S. The rest of the tracks I pretty much skip because they aren't worth the time and aren't done very well. The choice of instruments is extremely cheap and the sound is unpleasent. In reality, I recommend FF Generation S over this one, but this one is good to listen to from time to time just as long as you are willing to deal with some of the garbage.
All in all---This CD is a joke. The music itself is just under average, but if you listen to it enough you might start to like it. I go back occasionally to listen to a few tracks, but it's rare. You're $20 bucks, or however much you want to waste on it, can be spent in better places so definitely skip.
This CD is a joke........2006-07-28
Initally, I felt cheated, slighted, and disturbed that someone got away with releasing a CD of this exceptionally poor quality--and featuring the works of such a brilliant composer, to boot. The fact that whoever created this is trying to pass off this MIDI garbage as symphonic works. The quality is for the most part not even up to par with the tracks from the games (Liberi Fatali is exceptionally bad.)[...] This guy, whoever he is, is responsible for equally poor arrangements of otherwise great soundtracks (and apparently classical works as well) and to be completely honest, I don't think any of them deserved to be dragged through the mud like this.
Sherman Records has produced poor quality CDs and maintains a poor quality website that attempts to pass off its own sorry synthesised work as the authentic music of a real-life Symphony Orchestra.
The MajesticMix track is actually half decent. My sympathies to the creators of that track for appearing on such an otherwise laughable attempt at a "soundtrack" release.
Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad..........2005-09-21
I purchased this cd thinking that I would be getting another interpretation of the FF concert series which went through the US these past couple of years. Boy was I wrong.
The music on this cd was nothing like what Final Fantasy fans have come to know and love. I am still trying to figure out how this cd ever got made since it is absolute crap. What makes me most curious is that the cd has a paragraph saying "This Recording is Neither Sponsored or Endoresed by the Orignal Arists or Owners." It is a good thing that the artists and owners are not connecting themselves with the cd, but someone still had to give the permission for this cd to be released. Honestly, do not buy this cd unless you must have every cd ever made with the name Final Fantasy on it.
FYI, regarding Track 12, this was orignally from a fan-based cd release called "Project Majestic Mix." I'm not sure how a song from the PMM cd became a part of this album, but its about the only good thing here.
Stick With Imports.......2005-09-16
This is positively awful. The first track is bearable, the rest is horrendous (can't comment on track 12, my copy is older and doesn't have it). The "instruments" aren't even properly blended. I use quotes because it sounds totally synthesized. Symphonic Suite, Grand Finale, Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec, these are the albums you should look for if you want to hear orchestral Final Fantasy.
Holy Crap!.......2005-03-12
Wow.
Hollywood Symphony Orchestra MY BEHIND!!
This was the crappiest 4 bucks I've ever spent... Immediately after reading the following from the back of the CD...
"Earth has been decimated by a meteor... The beautiful and capable Dr. Aki Ross is Earth's last hope against extinction. This new recording, featuring the world-renowned Nobuo Uematsu, captures the excitement and drama of this popular videogame-turned blockbuster movie."
a few things...
1) to the right of the above paragraph was this message: "THIS RECORDING IS NEITHER SPONSORED OR ENDORSED BY THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS OR OWNERS."
2) The writer for the CD cover has clearly not ever played any of the FF games--he fails to notice that any of the FF games are continuations.
3) The FF film was not "a blockbuster movie".
Look, if you want to have better covers of Final Fanatsy music, scrounge around in
ocremix.org or vgmix.com
Amateurish digital instrumentation, completely craptastic. I'd give it zero stars, but that wasn't an option...

Customer Reviews:
One of my favorites.......2000-03-18
Modern Jazz Quartet has long been one of my favorite groups. This one has two cuts [Sketch 3 and Ambiquite] with a French jazz ensemble that are just a blast. As much as I love their studio work, the live pieces offer enlightening glimpses into their working style.
