Soothe Your Fragile State

(4 out of 5 stars)
"The Facts & The Dreams by the duo who make up Fragile State is an excellent example that a downtempo/chillout album does not necessarily need to be a compilation of tracks from various artists in order to be good.
A musical resemblance to Air's earlier works can be heard throughout Fragile State's tracks. By no means are they carbon-copies, but if you hate Air's [earlier] music, you may not like this album either. However, that is up for debate.
Personally, I think this is a great set of tracks that are equally enjoyable when listening to the whole album or individually as part of a playlist. Favorites include: "Song of Departure", "Hoop Dreams", and "Undercurrent".
4/5 stars for this soothing piece of music.
