I appologize for this being short and probably more misspelled than usual. I am coming down with something and I would rather not procrastonate with posts.
Stokes is considered a master of ambient. While I like ambient from time to time, I really am a chillout junkie. Fields, unfortunately, is really ambient music. Never on the cd does the excitement pick up to be considered anything else. The album as a whole gives you kind of flowing about, but never seems to get you to your destination. What I mean is there isn’t any so definitive ending to give you that definite conclusion about this whole “trip.”
Don’t let my negative initial comments make you think the album is bad. It is good ambient. It does seem to take you on a trip. There really is little I could ever ask for more than that. This is more active than Air I from Namlook, but it isn’t something that provokes my interest enough to call great. I would say the ambient listeners should check it out definitely and the chillout listeners should listen to “The Road Is Glowing” on kahvi before making a decision. The Road Is Glowing is actually from this album and is a pretty decent redition about how the rest of the album is. Check out the EP’s release page.
