Perfect for work.......2003-10-21

If you dwell in a cube 8+ hours a day, put on a good set of headphones for your escape from the hallway chatter and your neighbor's speaker phone. Trances & Drones is a double CD, defining two essential ambient electronic styles. For cube-dwellers, you need go no further than Trances, in which several tracks are built from long unbroken loops of burbling, marimba-like streams. This will keep you happily on-task hours at a time. It's like rain on a roof, only given melody and harmony.

Very relaxing.......2003-08-01

Though Rich is known for dark ambient works this is more sonambulent. Not much darkness at all...just very soothing drones with just a hint of melody or structure change to keep you interested. Great for yoga, meditation or just some relaxation before sleep. This is one of my favorite ambient cd's.

Early sombient masterworks by Robert Rich.......2001-08-19

Robert Rich has been composing stunning ambient music for two decades now. Fans will recognize his recent HUMIDITY concert recordings, and wonder if early recordings of "sleep concerts" exist. Well, sort of. Recorded in 1983, after a successful series of 9-hour "sleep concerts" in the Northern California region, TRANCES and DRONES perfectly showcase his deeply purposeful use of textures and gently developing environments. The albums preceed his early classic, NUMENA, by 3 years, and also predate the more melodic and rhythmically complex works. This is pure ambient music, mesmerizing and gently effecting. His penchant for dark atmospheres and "psychoactive music" (Robert's own label for this brand of ambient music) was later displayed with B.Lustmord in STALKER. I review other Rich albums on my own site...

an excellent space music cd.......2000-08-31

This cd is definitely a good electronic/space soundscape. Similar to some steve roach works, but it does not reach the heights of electronic master Klaus Schulze, who is the greatest in this field, in my opinion. Anyway, if you like schulze and roach, this cd will not dissapoint you.
