Customer Reviews:

One of Serrie's best!.......2006-04-21

This was the first CD I bought of Serrie's. It's a little lighter than his deep space work (Planetary Chronicles) but still ambient rather than typical new-age. Think alien planet as opposed to cruising in deep space.

Evocative.......2005-02-03

Before I purchased this CD I discovered it on an internet radio broadcast. There was a powerfully pastoral salience to Serrie's music that emerged above the other new age selections I was listening to that caused me to pause and go to my computer and see what was playing; each time I checked it was 'Midsummer Century.' I find 'Midsummer Century' more evocative of a deeper peacefulness than I found in recordings of similar genre.

This is not music, people.......2004-08-21

If you are looking for music, I advise listening to someone else. If you like listening to calculated noise, then this is more in line for you. Sorry, but this album and others by Mr. Serrie are just "stuff".

Simply hypnotic.......2000-04-14

The first four tracks are the exceptions to the remainer of the CD and are appealing to most anyone. Beginning with the fifth track, "Velvet" Jonn begins his spell casting as the music progressively becomes more free flowing, airy and subdued. (I personally think that there are some subliminal messages in these songs as it took me several attempts to stay awake to the end.) The surprise is that half way into the "Ancient of Days" a melody and percussion line emerges and after a moment drifts away. Each song smoothly flows into the next and lulls the listener into a deeper state of relaxation while not being totally space music, it is perhaps the musical representation of the last strands of our earth's atmosphere. Adding Jonn's "Tingri" makes this a nice set if you don't get anything else by him.

Full of Emotion.......1999-11-04

This is one of my favorite Jonn Serrie albums. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is written with tremendous emotion and a seeming longing for something unfulfilled. Only Jonn can make this kind of feeling come through a keyboard.
