Deep, dark, laid back New Age music.......2006-09-30

With an air of mystery, subtle menace and occasional majesty, "Indigo" is like the opening soundtrack to some dark-themed movie, portending any number of dire, heavy occurrence to come without actually ever reaching those points. There's no sweetness and light here. Those of you looking for friendly angel guides should look elsewhere; this music explores the opposite end of the spectrum. If these subdued, minimalistic, synthesizer-based compositions were designed for any sort of meditation, it would be a brooding, depressive meditation that I wouldn't recommend as being particularly healthy for long periods of time. But sometimes the cards just fall wrong, and you need a place to go to lick your wounds, re-gather your edge and your self-confidence, and mull over the possibilities such as they now stand. The world of "Indigo" is a good place to do that. Patrick O'Hearn's music is laid back enough to mellow you out, but cool enough--and with just enough percussion fading in and out throughout the album--to nourish your strength, renew your determination and encourage your spirit to rise again. A good retrospective of O'Hearn's work is "The Private Music of Patrick O'Hearn," and my favorite of his albums--similar to Indigo, but livelier and edgier, is "Ancient Dreams." Other synth-driven New Age music that often has a dark edge includes the work of Tangerine Dream, Llewellyn and Amethystium.

Patrick O' Hearn at his best........2003-05-23

This is by far Patrick O' Hearns best album. He uses great keyboards on all of his songs. Indigo is another dark album just like Ancient Dreams but this one is different in some ways.

Anyway, all of the songs are good but here are my favorites:Devils lake, Coba, Upon The Wings Of Night[great trumpet work by Mark Isham!] and The Ringmasters Dream. I notice that Patrick O' Hearn does not use a lot of soft songs, he mostly uses new age music with a real beat to it. The album also features work by Warren Cuccurullo with guitat ambience and aesthetic atmosphere. That's really all I can say about the album. I hope you all enjoy listening to new age music!

Dark, Intense, and Dynamic.......2002-10-08

Anyone who has seen the movie "White Sands" and is familiar with "Indigo" will recognize some of the music from "Indigo" featured in this show. After the rather "soft" sound of "Rivers Gonna Rise" and the uniqueness of "Eldorado", "Indigo" is a journey through a dark, beautiful world. Patrick O'Hearns music can inspire visual images that go with some of the songs. "Sacred Heart" for instance, gives me a view of a long journey through a wide expanse of desert. The song "Devil's Lake" sounds like someplace I may not want to be on a dark, moonless night. The music on this CD has a mysterious sound, even compared to O'Hearns previous works. It would probably sound good at a Halloween party, that's not to take anything away from it, it's an excellent work and rates high on the scale of musical precision.

Chilling, Frightening, yet peaceful.......2001-12-07

This is one of P.O.'s most brilliant magical landmark albums to date. This is a complete departure from the sunny daytime feel of El Dorado and Rivers Gonna Rise. This is a very dark and more midievel sounding recoed that shatters new grounds in his music and is one of his strongest albums to date.

Devils Lake is a very scary sounding song with echoing pianos and a very ominous sound. At 3:56 some electronic percussion and some rhythm comes in giving a feel of traveling through space towards a glowing cluster of stars. Sacrifice is a haunting track with very dark tingling synths for about the first 3 and a half minutes. At about 2:40 drums come in and real add on to the song. The horns are beatiful. When I close my eyes when listening to this song I could imagine being out in the forest in the dead of night and then all of a sudden a green glowing, wide-eyed warrior ghost on a chariot coming out of the background being pulled by horses. Coba is beyond what words can say alone. It's a very frightening song with echoing drums and very nighttime synths. I love the intense bridge with strong synths from 2:18 to 3:00. It then ends with the ambient synths continuing. This is my favorite song on this album. Upon The Wings Of Night is what the title says. It's a most ambient song with trumpets but they really sound great.Sacret Heart is another beautiful but a tad bit brighter but still dark and spacey. The Beauty Within is another beatiful but with echoing pianos but at the last 30 seconds the pianos give away to pulsating synths and fade out. What an amazing song. Desire is absolutely magical. It starts out with dazzling synths. Then some drums come in. This is one of the best songs on this album. Ringmasters Dream is very unique. It starts off as an ambient track but then later it gradually morphs into a sort of orchestraesque song and then fades into carnival sounds at the ending. Espana is a truly magical closing track to this CD. It a very peaceful with a truly melancholy feel. A great closer to this CD.

This is one of Mr. O'Hearns strongest albums to date. It's so much different from his earlier works and paved the way for his more midievel sounding material works afterwards. This is an essential recoeding for fans of Patrick O'Hearn and all New Age lovers.

Dark, Deep & Mysterious!!!.......2001-05-31

I've owned this disc since it was released in the early 90's and have listened to it many, many times. This work is truly a masterpiece and certainly one of Patrick's best. This recording brings you to a dark mysterious place in your soul where few people dare to go. O'hearn uses a menagerie of new age tools to craft this leaden sculpture. If you like to immerse yourself in to a recording, allowing it to draw you in completely, then this one is for you. But be patient, this audible landscape grows more & more enticing w/ each listen. As you become familiar w/ it's immediate enviornment, you will begin to discover Indigo's subtle, textural, hidden layers. So turn off the lights, light a candle and prepare yourself for a deep, dark mystical journey into a gothic realm.
