Hi folks Riverside's ambient collection Eye Of The Soundscape arrived on my mat yesterday, so here's a review of my thoughts: https://momentstransition.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/riverside-eye-of-the-soundscape-2016/ A nice alternative to their traditional sound and a poignant holding position pending new music next year.

Not sure your musical ally, but this album just suits me brilliantly!

I'm not a fan of it. Would have been easier to digest as a EP, rather than a full length LP of ambient material. I was hoping for some traditional Riverside along with ambient stuff. -------------

| Sorry to me it seems a bit pointless although it is extremely well done for what it is. However I would have preferred something heavier with 'widdly' keyboards (ie ELP,Wakeman etc) .Instead this feels like a bit of cop out. However I'm glad the band still exists and look forward to when they back to something more like themselves in the future. I realise this is just a tidy over exercise although I do believe they have missed an opportunity. |

I do wonder where this music influence is coming from, seems a lot of bands are taking this ambient-dark-moody-electronicky, what I call non analog (missing or minimal guitar/bass/drums/vocals) approach. Anybody listen to the new Mariusz project, Meller Golyzniak Duda, yet? -------------
