Artist: Tycho
Album: Awake
Source: Spotify
Pre-listening Notes: Some people are already branding this album of the year. Others who aren't being so bold in their predictions have at least told me to listen to this. It's instrumental, it's ambient, it's sort of electronic but not completely as he tours with live musicians. I previewed a tiny bit of it the other day and it was good stuff to listen to while video gaming, which is what I am about to do. So, here goes.
Initial Reaction: It takes a lot to get me to enjoy instrumental stuff. One big thing is it has to be dreamy and give me a sense of floating through the music when I listen to it. This starts off and has it, which is why I decided to review it in the first place. The songs don't seem to drag on too long on this.
Random Thoughts: The second song opens and I'm left feeling that there isn't a great deal of diversity in this. That's not a bad thing, especially when you are looking more into just popping it on as a soundtrack to what you are doing. This fits in nicely with Tristeza, as one of the insturmental artists that I could see myself putting on and listening to when I want to just relax and mellow out.
Final Reaction: This was pretty good for chill out music. I could get behind listening to that on a more regular basis, I'll give that a whirl again when I'm in an even better mood for that type of music. It's definitely on the electronic side of things, but there are what sounds like live instruments going on too. It relaxed me a little more than I was, which I would think is sort of the purpose for this stuff.
Final Grade: 7.5/10
