Grows on you, s-l-o-w-l-y..........................................2004-07-17

Since this is my only NIGHTNOISE cd I have nothing else of theirs to compare it to. Being a fan of celtic/irish music I was somewhat surprised at how languid the music was...almost "new age" rather than what one comes to expect from ,say, ALTAN, which interjects vigorous jigs and reels between the slower tracks.
Perhaps the name NIGHT 'NOISE' gives a hint of revelry or romp atypical of the genre. Not here.
The music is gorgeous though. Semi mood music with flourishes of traditional celtic, classical, even progressive strokes. I was hoping for something less expansive and, dare I say less "jazzy". It seems they would be better served (here) with more definition, sharper focus.
The group sounds as if the name should be NIGHTDREAM or NIGHTMIST. The sound is anything but "noisy". Very mellow, which is not a bad thing really. Unlike with most music I listen to with headphones, with this particular cd the only NIGHT "NOISE" you'll hear is the "noise" of my snorring. It's that kinda album.
Still 3.5 stars, maybe 4. The beauty of the music redeems its slow, contemplative pacing.

so so.......2002-03-22

I was dissapointed with this CD. As a HUGE Nightnoise fan, I have every Nightnoise CD, as well as many Various Artist CDs (mostly Windham Hill) featuring them. This CD however, is not one that makes Nightnoise one of my favorite bands. Its dull.. and almost boring! Especially the song "Silly Flanks". Don't get me wrong, I love that track, on the CD "White Horse Sessions".. Its upbeat and makes me want to get up and dance.. but on this CD its like a whole other song. I suppose that I do have a taste for live though. Every track on this CD sounds the same.. and while it is Nightnoise, and you still have to like that, you don't love it. The CD I'd recommend to a newcommer to Nightnoise is "A Different Shore". That is by far Nightnoise's best CD.

Great!.......1999-10-05

If you like celtic. You'll love this. Soothing, predictable music to lay back and enjoy.

GREAT TO RELAX AND FORGET THE WORLD!.......1998-09-10

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS CD FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE FOUND IT AGAIN. I AM GOING TO HANG ON TO IT THIS TIME! WHETHER YOU WANT TO KICK BACK, HAVE SOME GREAT DINNER MUSIC, OR JUST BE THIS IS THE CD!
