instrumental bliss out.......2005-10-30

absolutely beautiful music that, although acoustic in nature, has a tendency to sound strong and powerful. the drumming is excellent and full of restrained flair, the bass slides and glides with deep rich tones, and the guitars weave in and out with complex melodies and some intricate picking. a few keyboards pop up here and there to add texture and splashes of atmosphere, but they are mixed pretty low in the background and don't disturb the proceedings too much. the second track sounds like a slow summer waltz that brings to mind images of floating down a stream on a wooden riverboat. other cuts are decidely direct in their approach, offering dreamy slabs of hypnotic and upbeat passages that are full of progressive and compelling playing. i love the fact that Lumen could have chosen to drench these songs in blissed out distortion and effects, but they chose to remain acoustic, giving this album a fresh, clean sound that allows the jaw-dropping beauty of these melodies to breathe and shine.

so good.......2001-04-17

I saw Lumen at a sold-out show in New Haven on their Northeast tour, and they were amazing. It takes a really ballsy band to make the accordion a serious player, and this album proves that the instrument is still cool. Buy this album!
