Free Music Review: A pleasing compilation
Hit: 3 Stars
With its 13 tracks and play time of just over 66 minutes, this compilation of Patrick O'Hearn's first five albums is pleasing. Released in 1997, A Windham Hill Retrospective covers 1985's Ancient Dreams, 1987's Between Two Worlds, 1988's Rivers Gonna Rise, 1989's Eldorado, and 1991's Indigo. The pieces are nonchronological. Ancient Dreams is represented by "Life Along the River Vaal," "At First Light," and "Malevolent Landscape." Between Two Worlds is represented by "87 Dreams of a Lifetime" and "Sky Juice." Rivers Gonna Rise is represented by "Glory for Tomorrow" and "Subtle Persuasion." Eldorado is represented by "Black Delilah," "One Eyed Jacks," and "Delicate." Indigo is represented by "Espana," "Coba," and "Sacrifice." Even though I find all of the compositions to be enjoyable, my favorite ones are "87 Dreams of a Lifetime," "One Eyed Jacks," and "Delicate." "87 Dreams of a Lifetime" is elegant, while "One Eyed Jacks" exhibits succulent-sounding bass guitar work and pretty keyboard timbres. The somberful "Delicate" displays beautiful female vocals. An example of another interesting track is "Espana," with its appealing, plaintive keyboard work. The sound quality of the material is also gratifying. The CD insert does not include an essay. Actually, I rate this album 3.5 stars. O'Hearn is a talented artist, and this compilation is a nice representation of his work.
