Customer Reviews

Unbelievable
This album is a must have for anyone interested in new music. Lotus has firmly established their sound in the "Jam band" genre. They do it with an amazing ability to blend dance sounds into the organic mix. Just by the short, 30-seconds samples on Amazon you will not get a good idea of what Lotus is about. Much better is to check out some full songs on their MySpace page.

I have to say, they are my favorite band to listen to when I have company over and just want to relax to some music. This is my favorite album by them and I would suggest to almost anyone who enjoys music regardless of their favorite genre, it's that good.

not too bad
Personally, i prefer their live jams better than their studio stuff. but for a studio trance jam, its pretty good. to me, its one of their better studio albums.

Lotus matures
On TSOWT, Lotus expandes their style and proves to be a multidimensional, eclectic band. As with any musical experimentation, this first outing may be a surprise to fans of their previous releases and live performances. For the majority of the album, Lotus moves away from the housey beats and guitar-based melodies of Nomad and Germination. At its best, songs such as 'Blue Giant' and 'Bubonic tonic' are excellent soundscapes with patented Lotus groove that take you into a trancendent state. There are some songs, including 'When H binds to O' and 'Drunken Giraffe without as clear a melodic message and more of a jazz feel than the quentiessential Lotus song. Although these are interesting, worthwhile songs they are also a large departure from the dance-infused live shows and releases. Perhaps we can take this as a sign that Lotus will continue to keep us on our toes.
