Lots of chopping at the end of the massage.

It's like Schroeder being pissed off at Lucy, poinking out a monotonic "Jingle Bells."

The ending of this song is the sound of a man running out of ideas.

Started off OK.  Then became hugely disappointing.  You can go ahead and axe this one Bill. {#No}

It started out good but ended up sounding suspiciously like "chopsticks."

Or is it "Won't get fooled again" by The Who? That plinky piano sounds awfully familiar

hearing GW mixed in with electric songs is one of the great things about RP :) ...everything is so catagorized everywhere else.

Sounds like a copy of one of Steve Reich's works near the end...

This sounds a LOT like "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield. In some parts it uses almost the same melody/rythm/chords.

I like this piece... very interesting and expressionist rather than impressionist. NICE!

wow i kept waiting for somethin to happen... there were hints of talent there but nothing really developed what a shame
Posted 20 years ago by Jimi_Zep    [ Reply ]
This is mindless - the kind of stuff we'd play on the piano at drunken parties in high school. Reminds me of times I've been stuck waiting in a long line for a prescription at the local pharmacy and boutique. After being forced to listen to this piece of pseudo-music, it felt like I needed drugs!

Yuppie music. Good filler until something better comes along. :p

I hate to say this, but I kept expecting him to start playing chopsticks there at the end.

first impression: i like it. second impression: not achieved becuase my head started pounding to the beat. dun dun dun dun. realization: this reminds me of the mass driver ramming the pylon into the ground that i had to endure for two months straight (here in my office next to the interstate). next please.

I generally like Winston, but this sounds like Philip Glass: long, repetitive, and boring.

The end was the cool part! No wait that didn't come out right. I liked the plinky bit at the end. Yeah.
Posted 20 years ago by ScottFromWyoming    [ Reply ]
It does get a little strange at the end there, but I appreciate anyone trying to stretch the limits of the piano, a la John Cage. The altered piano tune Cloudburst, off of Winston's Plains CD, might be a better match for RP. As for Keith Jarrett, he doesn't always make those leafblower sounds while he's playing. Even when he does, it doesn't really distract me from the music.

It couldn\'t have been any better.

George Winston is an amazing pianist. I\'ve seen him live myself and his show is quite intense. Given that, I\'m not sure how I feel about this tune. Sure the way he\'s playing the piano is terrific, but the actual song does leave much to be desired. I ditto triviagirl\'s comment below about the incessant plinking.

Oh my gosh!! Make it stop! This started out okay, but I agree with the comment about Chinese water torture. I\'m trying to work here. I wouldn\'t mind a different song of his though.

Next thing you know we'll have some Philip Glass in here. Satyagraha, anyone?

While (IMHO and I may be wrong) Jarret is technically superior to Winston, I appreciate the fact that Winston doesn't grunt like a constipated porcine while playing. There's room for both of them in the world. I found this piece to be quite enveloping and hypnotic. An 8.

Reminds me of Tubular Bells and Linda Blair.

Reminds me a bit of Steve Reich.

GW uses the entire piano, that 'tinkling' is him playing with one hand on the actual piano strings, while the other is 'tinkling' away - my virtuoso, is another mans freedom fighter -

I couldn't have said it better myself. I like George Winston, but this one got really annoying towards the end.

I have seen him in concert - jeans, tee-shirt, and no shoes - he was great!

This is a fantastic cd...it is a great accompaniment to many activities such as listening to the rain, reading, studying, looking off into space...

Glad to hear some minimal music on RP! It\'s not my kind of music, but it deserves a place, so why not on RP?

I fear my piano teacher will get hold of this. My hands are cramping just listening.

I know most people associate George Winston with lame New Age music, but this is a very intense song. I saw him perform it live once -- by the end of the song he had nearly climbed inside the piano, he was so busy in there muting strings and screwing around. Pretty cool IMHO.
