Flawless asymmetry.......2007-01-03

This CD is one of those rare works that strikes the perfect balance between chaos and harmony, creating enough dissonance to hook the listener but not enough to offend any aesthetic sensibilities. Its sweet and fragile songs ("Sister of the Flood" and "The Color of Vowels," especially) contain that peculiar shade of tenderness that wrenches tears from even the most discerning listener. For those who love to ride a musical tide of emotion, "The Perfect Flaw" offers a liquid paradise of bittersweet relief.

Tim Story is a master of minors.......2004-01-10

Gorgeously haunting is the way to describe some of the pieces on this disc. Story has a gift with minors, avoiding the sometimes staid and sappy sound of generic piano/synthesizer music and reaching instead for a higher, altogether more melancholy and lonely sound that touches the soul in deep places. A progression on some of the work featured on earlier Story, like "Beguiled", this album is one of my favorites in my collection, much played and much appreciated. Story doesn't get much better than this, in my honest opinion.

A Must Have.......2002-12-19

Probably one of the best CD's to have for when you just need to be still and gather your thoughts.

Trancelike.......2002-08-10

The first time I heard Perfect Flaw was early in 1995. "broken alphabet" can start playing in your head all day--but you don't want it to stop. This very calming music, with a deepness that reaches the innermost feelings in the heart and soul, relaxes you and can give you a feeling of traquility like you've never felt before.

Quiet but complex.......2002-03-04

I love this album. In the true spirit of ambient although its not ambient. It is wonderful as background music but unlike much new age music it stands up to very careful listening. There are many subtle weavings of texture. Despite the apparent simplicity on first hearing the more you listen the more you'll hear. There is such depth that you can always find new things to fascinate and involve you each time you hear the album.
