Downbeat Ear Ambrosia

"Two elements make this album a worthwhile investment: A unique sonic structure coupled with a propensity for continuous replay. The lush, mellow grooves that shimmer throughout this aural collage work well both as a lounge backdrop for the next great cocktail party or as a soundscape worthy of your most critical attention (several good listens reveal continuosly new, unheard patterns and sounds: from Mr Rodgers to subliminal space tablas!).A desert island must-have, Mel's unique sense of sound emerges as a beauitiful canvas of painstakingly-crafted listening pleasure."

Laidback aural soundscapes with a beat

"this is a very nice cd. it always soothes me when i listen to it. nepalese bliss is the flagship piece, but the entire cd is consistent in style. i bought this cd last december and listened 50+ times to it. nice aural soundscapes complement the rhythm, or vice versa. ingenious blend and placement of voice clips, filling the vocal 'requirement'.as."

The sound of the universe

"I've had this CD ever since it first came out, and it is constantly an old standby on a er um trip, or any other time. This is most definately the most brilliant, beautiful CD I have ever heard. He does a wonderful job of mixing eno-ish ambient music with dub, all done in a very melancholy way that will bring a tear to your eye, and...revealing the innerworkings of nature all with one mighty echo that resounds off in to infinity, keeping the rhythm all the way out in to the cosmos. Phew, I hope that made sense. Kind of King Tubby meets Brian Eno, after hearing a lecture by Timothy Leary in a graveyard, while the eulogy is the song, "Everybody hurts" by REM. I can listen to this CD and dance, I can listen to it to chill and trip out. This is the kind of music that inspires me. He creates whole scenes and images and thought patterns with his work that are so visual, that they will reveal theories about the world you never knew. Or maybe that's just me. I am only saddened because since this CD not many have taken the cue, and there aren't more like it."
