"damn, this guy has an array of sounds that so easily mix together: jazz, jungle, and then all that indie rock crap.. the cd is so versatile that you can put it on repeat a couple of times and it doesnt get old. even though amazon doesnt have any clips as of now for you to hear these songs, i am gonna recommend some anyhow 2.distant 3.galileo (must be listened to in that order) 7.the lonely lounge piano player's lost in his little world and 12.headphoneland in the school of old.. aight, one more thing to add, adam, the artist has a good little essay inside the cd, and even though it might sound a little pretentious, i think his basic points are meant well that music is an important factor in the human life. ooh your music is soooo good.. BUY IT."
Definitely different

"I picked this Cd up first from my local lending library, not really knowing what to expect - the liner notes had fascinated me, as had the references to Steve Reich in one or two of the song titles, so I thought it was either going to be, like the best of Reich's pieces, full of ecstatic melodies and swing, or, like Reich's worst, disjointed and flat. After listening, both. The best tracks, like "Lonely Lounge Piano Player.." and "Galileo" use unconventional rhythms and timbres thrown together almost haphazardly to create lush and dubby electro-acoustic songs. Imagine Tortoise playing with chance procedures, or Reich playing with Do Make Say Think, maybe! The worst are quaint and over worked doodles, but are thankfully rare. Adam Pierce hasn't really been able to recapture this form, which is a great shame."
