Free Music Notes for Dear John Coltrane
Free Music Review: Kinda like it.......kinda don't
Hit: 3 Stars
The best songs to me on here are the first one, "Passed" and the last one "Train Tripping" Passed really has sort of a spooky yet cool and catchy feel to it, and I love the way Vanessa's voice fits in with the mellow sound and the steady yet light drum beats. It stands out to me more than the majority of the tracks here. If it were not for this song, this cd would be almost a total let down to me, and I might have given it a 2 star rating instead of a 3.
She talks more through out the tracks than she sings it seems. That can be irritating if you were looking for more singing from this cd. But I can't knock her to much, since this is the first cd I've ever bought of Daou. That is just her style of music I guess.
I'm not into it that much, but if you really like poetry then you will probably like her style of music according to this cd. Daou has a unique style in that she mixes poetry in her music and sometimes tells a story within a song.
Free Music Review: Very impressive
Hit: 4 Stars
I found this cd to be something out of the ordinary. I liked it very much. It really was poetry to music. Beautiful and seductive lyrics. I'm sad that Vanessa is not making music anymore. What a talent.Free Music Review: Dissappointed

"Zipless" and "Slow to Burn" were good albums, not great, I like most of the songs on them and and I loved "Make You Love." This one though, it just seemed she and her writers didn't have any good ideas. I mean, the lyrics are good, but the songs just don't have much rhythem, they don't give me that feeling of laying back and smiling like her other ones do. It just seems like they tried to hard. Sorry Vanessa, I think you're very talented but this one just didn't do it for me.Free Music Review: Vanessa Scores Again
Hit: 5 Stars
Why she isn't a huge star baffles me. I can play Vanessa CDs all day some days and just levitate in the coolest, happiest, love-filled space. This CD has a cut or two that are below her usual brilliance, but overall its a smash. Husband Peter - keyboard wizard - and Vanessa continue to meld retro styles with millenial chic ambient downtempo techo chill in a unique and pelvis-grooving manner. Vanessa continues to write about love in all of its carnaland transcendent facets.It's a logical step from Plutonium Glow, Slow to Burn, and Zipless (how is it that Slow to Burn remains out of print??). I can't wait to hear her latest.
We love ya, goddess.

Luv this album. Makes me feel sad, makes me feel trippy, makes me feel sensual, makes me feel intellectual. Vanessa Daou has created a masterpiece of "acid" jazz (some purists might place in other categories such as ambient, trip-hop, etc.). You fall in love with its ambiance from the first time that you listen to it. I certainly did...
