![]() I have now listened to two Tortoise albums. To me they have a notable difference in appeal, and yet the one - talking of this one - that I find terribly boring and worse in every way has slightly better rating here, and that confuses me. I couldn't get beyond boredom except for 'Glass Museum' which has more life; there the vibes come upfront and put some groove in it. A bit like Amarok, or something else with vibes, by Mike Oldfield. The serene closing track 'Along the Banks of Rivers' is the other track I liked enough for taping. For most of this album's music I came to think of the saying "as exciting as watching the paint to dry". It may be skillful and sophisticated but it misses the something to reach my emotions. Something is missing. The opener is 21 minutes long, yaaawn! OK, maybe it's always better to get cold images by music than no images at all; I saw this music as a modern house with minimalistic design and furnitures, all very clean and hi-tech but not very cosy. Where is the occupant? Where is the beef?
