Advantages: Very mellow music great for relaxing to Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste
As I have said before in reviews, MedwynGoodall is one of my favourite composers of "new age" music. I find his music very relaxing and inspirational.
Excalibur is the third CD of a trilogy set and is purely instrumental with no actual lyrics. The first CD is Druid (see my review) and second is Merlin (see my previous review). The set is released on the New World Company label and is available in most new age shops or on their website www.newworldmusic.com and is also available on Amazon.
The first track is "Caliburn" which is nearly 8 minutes long. This is a gently flowing track with some high pitched flute notes and subtle percussion. It washes over you like a summer breeze particularly when the pan pipe comes in. Its actually a really good track for just sitting and thinking. Probably my favourite track on the album ...
Advantages: Unbelievably mellow Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste

Druid is the first CD of a trilogy set. The second is Merlin (see my previous review) and the third is Excalibur. The set is released on the New World Company label and is available in most new age shops or on their website www.newworldmusic.com and is also available on Amazon, who incidentally have samples of each track to listen to. Unfortunately, you only get about the first 30 seconds of each track which whilst it gives a taster, is a bit inadequate, particularly on the first track.
There are five tracks in all on the album with a combined run time of approximately 42 minutes. It is a fairly short album but by the end of it you are so relaxed you are virtually horizontal, if ...
Advantages: Truly memorable, superior drum n bass tracks. Soulful and original. Disadvantages: Overlong, which increases repetition and reduces impact.

Released in 1995, Timeless is a classic debut drum n bass album from Goldie. The style is smooth, soulful and occasionally dark and menacing.
What I love about this album is the variety of songs, the excellent samples and the evolving beats. To add to this are the touches of originality present in certain tunes, creating one of the most memorable albums I have ever heard.
Unfortunately, most ...
