English:
An ambient record, as good as many others, and by no means something special. I think Theo Travis (Gong, Tangent, etc.) and Dirk Serries (Fear Falls Burning) can make every day such a record, while whistling. Well, there‘s still a problem of distribution expenses, so they don’t. Back in 1978, when Brian Eno recorded his first ambient album - “Music for Airports”, it was exciting. Not the music itself of course, but how it will find the public, and will the public find it at all. Will this music just disappear in the surrounding us noise or people will prefer electronic sounds to the real world? Eventually the ambient music and public have found each other. Every one and then there appears still another record in the stile, but it never is really interesting since then. I am actually a listener of the ambient music. When I need to think hard, or when I look for a total relaxation, I look for it in my collection. “The Tonefloat Sessions” will find the right place there, next to other ambient records. I will even listen to it once in a while, since it is a good and highly professional ambient music, but there’s really not very much more to tell about it. However, I am still curious what the collaboration of Theo Travis and Robert Fripp will bring.
For the lack of originality, 5 from 10.
