Sounds and Zounds

To every listener there is a time when everthing sounds the same, things no longer seem fresh. Well, The Books have broken the mold and have created a very creative ejoyable thought provoking CD called Lost and Safe. This CD is a mixture of home producted sounds, guitar, cello, sinth and samples. There are parts of Lost and Safe that reminds me of some of the more recent works of Bill Nelson samples. I think the sure joy is there ablilty to find a balance in simple guitar cords, static like samples and waves of cello’s. I found great enjoyment listening to this disc while commuting on the subways of Boston, which seem to add more complexly to the music and not interrupting the music. This disc has a mello edge to it that lends itself to the seasons of reflection. Lost and Safe is hours of listening and finding new sounds. It is one of the best CD of 2005.
