| stratrjb (the mitten) | Posted: Jan 02, 2006 - 12:04 loved it. thanks RP, had to check out the artist. |
| Arwin | Posted: Jan 02, 2006 - 11:46 I disliked this song so much, I specifically went to the site to register just so I could type here that I dislike this song so much, I specifically ... Oh yeah, and it goes on too long. EDIT: waves to Arnoldus. |

I'm affraid i'm well rested.Maybe I'm having a breakdown so this sounds good :-) Anyway in my current state of mind this appealed to me. Well rested perhaps I'd hate it. |
| AphidA (Alexandria, VA) | Posted: Jan 02, 2006 - 11:41 Hmmmm. This is my new official take-a-shit-now song. |
| rosedraws (never close enough) | Posted: Jan 02, 2006 - 11:41 I like this. Some parts are curious... even weird... but interesting textures. And I don't mind repetition in some cases, like this one. |
| rascal420 (Truckee, CA - 5000 feet above Paradise) | Posted: Jan 02, 2006 - 11:40 I like the blurry "personal ad" Ozzie photo. Need a little more practice on the instrument, then it'll be ready. |
| iMacomania (Bavaria - Germany) | Posted: Jan 02, 2006 - 11:39  |
| Tux (The Netherlands) | Posted: Dec 19, 2005 - 00:26 Very very nice, but still far from Glass' class. |

| Imkirok (Minneapolis, MN) | Posted: Oct 21, 2005 - 13:08 Reminds me of a line from an old movie or TV show (Fame perhaps) where one of the instructors at a music school hears a student playing with a synthesizer and says something like, "That's not music. That's electronic masturbation." Pretty much sums up my feelings for this song. Yuck. |

| rgrace (Rio Nido, CA) | Posted: Oct 21, 2005 - 13:06 Kinda like Yngwie Malmsteen on violin. A 4. No, a 3. |
| brokemusician (Buttfuch, Ireland) | Posted: Oct 21, 2005 - 13:05 :puke:
Sounds like ENYA bought a violin but got pissed off because she could not learn how to play it! I love the violin, but this is a failed attempt. |
| randomprime (Flåm, Norge) | Posted: Oct 06, 2005 - 20:44 Pretty much the kind of music I would expect from someone with the last name of Alleyne-Johnson.  |
| Platypus (here, now) | Posted: Oct 06, 2005 - 20:43 
... 
... no, seriously  |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Oct 06, 2005 - 20:43 Wow, thats a litttle sharp...and I don't mean that in a good way. |
| ZedLeppelin (Outback) | Posted: Oct 06, 2005 - 20:42 What a bucket of slop. |
| mojoman (Rocky Mountains, Colorado) | Posted: Oct 06, 2005 - 20:41 Some instruments should not be amplified. This is just electronic noise. The wooden soul of a violin is completely missing. |
| bmo (Canada) | Posted: Sep 07, 2005 - 07:51 Nice turn with the thinking man's gutbucket |

You are insufficiently discriminating. That said, I'm leaving this one on regular volume, at least for now. |

| forge (Boynton Beach, FL) | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:09 Whee!! That was fun. Me go buy that album now. = ) |
| KateD (AZ) | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:09 Inner City My Foot! :headshake: I must say I was thankful for the strings after that god forsaken guitar tho!!! :-({|= |
| daveesh (birthplace of the american revolution) | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:09 and just when you think its winding down... it comes back around again! |
| ArbiterOfGoodTaste (Seattle WA) | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:08 Pretty. Not amazing, but OK. |
| drjimmy | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:07 This may be the first time I've ever turned down the volume on Radio Paradise. |
| LittleMike (St. Louis, MO) | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:07 I kinda like the electronic string sound. |
| TheLoneIguana (Central California) | Posted: Aug 23, 2005 - 11:04 The very beginning makes me think of "Stand By Me" (the song, not the movie). |
| MCKY | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 14:22 man, that's great. It's like ozzy does godspeed. thanks bill |
| rah | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 14:22 this reminds me of the string-quartet version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" that was used in The Wedding Singer. In fact, I think I might rather hear that. |
| daveesh (birthplace of the american revolution) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 14:21 awful |
| rascal420 (Truckee, CA - 5000 feet above Paradise) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 14:19 Bonus points for going for the Ozzy look |
| shayde (Bolton, MA) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 14:19 AIEEEEE! MY EARS! MAKE IT STOP!!! You can only repeat one musical frame so many times, no matter how much you accompany it with FINGERNAILS ON THE BLACKBOARD. Sheesh. I can do this with CakeWalk about 5 seconds of fiddling. |

Junk. Yeah, that about sums up my feelings. It's three chords repeated, with no real melody or structure. It sounds like someone got their first synthesizer and sequencer. How this stuff gets published is beyond me... |
| MCKY | Posted: Jun 25, 2005 - 07:41 I like the sound of this-to call it souless is presume a knowledge of the artist i don't have. Like it or don't like it, but don't judge the artist's guts and heart. |

I hear the Ponty in here a little too. |
| serendipity_blue (Nowhere you'd like to be) | Posted: Jun 10, 2005 - 14:40 That was kinda starting to make my head ache, but I could just be in a really bad mood.  |
| Daveinbawlmer (Bawlmer, Merlin. Hon.) | Posted: Jun 10, 2005 - 14:37 Now THIS is the sort of music the salesman puts on the cd player when you test drive a Lexus or something like that. Sounds soothing, significant, mellow and all midrange with a touch of upper midrange. In the end you come to your senses and realize not only is the Lexus soul-less but the music is as well. Junk. |

I was thinking the same. And a healthy dose of Robert Fripp at times with the swooping linear stuff. A regular diet of this? Pretentious. Once every week or so? Radio Paradise. |
| g1lgam3sh (Manchester) | Posted: Jun 10, 2005 - 14:33 Instantly likeable, for some oddly likeable reason :) Puckish methinks |

| rah | Posted: Apr 27, 2005 - 15:49 i don't know. i've spent some time in the inner city, and never heard anything like this coming from the windows or ghetto blasters... |
| FlatCat | Posted: Apr 27, 2005 - 15:47 Phillip Glass barfing an alley. Oh, I am so mean. Keep up the good work, Bill, but this one is not high on my personal list. |
| lukekingland (Dallas, unfortunately) | Posted: Apr 27, 2005 - 15:44 If someone explained this song to me, I'd say I wouldn't like it... Having heard it, however: |
| Justafan | Posted: Mar 29, 2005 - 07:33 mig7 wrote: If anything rides the thin line between good and bad--it's this.
I concur. This sounds like a mix between Herbie Hancock and rock opera. |
| Pyro (Between a rock and a hard place) | Posted: Mar 29, 2005 - 07:31 As mentioned in a previous post, very Ponty-like. |
