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.

One of his best.......2006-04-28

This was the first PO cd I bought. I liked it right from the beginning and don't seem to get tired of it. A classic and must have for PO fans.

Five Star Timeless.......2006-02-06

I listened to it again, today, 13 years on. It never tires, it never becomes too familiar. It is dark, moody and more consistent than Trust, the complete opposite of Eldorado. It sits alongside TD's Rubycon and KS's Timewind as electronic masterworks that leave you thinking about the music long after it is back in its case. It's brilliance, is that it does not need 20 minutes plus per track to leave you with the sense that the whole album is one whole, each track evolves from the darkness and despair of Devil's Lake to the dreaminess and sadness of Espana.

Timeless and transcending classic work of art! .......2004-10-06

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.

Still listen to it time and again, after 11 years.......2004-04-13

O'Hearn is a magical composer. I don't know music well enough to give you technical keywords, but I can tell you that it is nothing short of brilliant, and nearly timeless. The tune of in 'Espana', especially, has haunted me over the years, combining elements of nostalgia, solitude, and taking you away from the present happenings... it slows you down to freeze on a larger perspective; In 'Coba', 'Sacred Heart', and 'Upon the wings..' you will find a tremendouly up-beat swing, a strong rhythmic pulse with enchanting tunes. I fell in love with this album at once.
