Customer Reviews

Get in touch with the NEW of NOW
Outta Sound is an upgrade of the older stuff. It is more edgy and loud, more interesting. The past few albums are similar, yes, but with less tenacity. Those of you wanting the old NOW stick to the old NOW. This cosmopolitan revolution of George's music is catchy and could become more mainstream, which may be why those of you who have rated it low don't like it. It isn't what we are used to, but it's good to open one's mind and embrace change within ourselves and the music that catalyzes it. Give it another listen.

Outta Ideas
To many musical artists, the idea of "impressive ambience" or "notable chill" is a contradiction in terms. If the music is meant to be little more than the decor for dreams, if it is designed as a batten for the back wall, then what's the point in giving it indelibility? Thankfully, many artists (Kruder and Dorfmeister, Ulrich Schnauss, et. al.) are capable of creating atmospheres that are both evocative and unobtrusive. It's a delicate kind of chemistry, but it can be done.

Nightmares on Wax aims for ambient funk and hits the target, but almost too well. The music on "In A Space Outta Sound" is so laid-back, it limbos right under the rader. It would provide the steady and subliminal pulse for any number of quiet nights or get-togethers, but it's unlikely anyone would take notice and ask the host, "What's this you've got playing?"

Okay, maybe some of their numbers would pique interest. I'm thinking of the quirky conga coolness of "Deepdown," or the ghostly lounge sensibilities of "Passion," or the classic rock shadows interlaced throughout "You Wish." There are, really, no bad songs on this album; they all play soft shoe with equally soft music, and they know the moves by heart. But it's a dance you'll forget as soon as the stereo has been turned off, and it's even likely you'll forget that you forgot.

Ambience is good, and chill is great, but truly relaxing music stays in the air, lingers in the heart, and saturates the soul long after the notes have ceased to sound. Give me barbs, give me hooks, give me risks; the rest may be good, but it's also nothing else at all.

Nice...
One of my favourite albums in my library is "Smoker's Delight". Just having my first listen to In a Space... and I'm definitely having fun listening to this. As button mentioned, it is a good compliment to the other NOW albums. I've the idea that this one's gonna get a good deal of playtime on my iPod...
