| Jo Blankenburg's ’Floatovations - The Realm Of Levitation’ Jo Blankenburg's album, Floatovations, is the aural equivalent of drifting on the open ocean (a Caribbean one for certain) with only the lulling sounds of nature to fill your head, replacing the hum and buzz of the outside world. With a watery, liquid theme, this album easily surpasses most relaxation CDs in focusing in on lush and full atmospheres, somewhat akin to a film soundtrack but using simple textures and structures with natural ebb and flow. As a whole, the album narrows in on the quality of levitation and buoyancy, and much like the title, floats the soul along on a sound journey of soft keyboards, strings, ocean waves and birds, joined by guitar, pan flutes, didgeridoo and several other colors along the way. For those seeking deep rest, meditation, general relaxation or just a way to decompress on the way home from work, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more appropriate selection of compositions. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
