Synopsis

Album Description

Described by Jef Peace of PeaceWork Music Net as: ". . . more soothing than a fine sipping whiskey, this album is guaranteed to relax those tense muscles and stimulate brain activity without nasty side-effects." An Open Mind is destined to be an epic recording in the new age genre, possibly even being the album that redefines the genre for coming generations. Possessing both the soul of the warrior and the soul of the musician, Louis Lamp has breathed a fiery calm into these songs, almost in spite of himself. Anything but restrained, there is still an obvious cadence to the melodies that can be felt as well as heard, leaving the listener wanting more but not sure they could handle even a note beyond what they've already heard. This album both soothes and energizes the listener with a passion that has seldom been heard in any genre, let alone new age. It's in your hands now and now it's your turn to play a part in musical history by giving this album the attention it deserves, encouraging Louis Lamp to give more of his talent to the world in the form of more music, more albums.

CD Reviews

Not Just Another Ambient CD!

CL | USA | 05/31/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A couple of weeks ago, if anyone had told me that I'd be enjoying yet another "Ambient" music CD, I would probably not have believed them. Well, here I am not only enjoying but raving about a new CD called "An Open Mind" from a new artist named Louis Lamp. Let me tell you, this is not "yet another" CD. Louis has composed, arranged and performed an album of material that is ambient overall but contains a range of moods and emotions. My favorites tracks are Emotional Collage which is dark, mysterious and joyful all at once; Reverie II which has almost a 70s funk feel to it and; Time Away (from Vibes) which brings to mind the keyboard work of Rick Wakemen. The sounds on this CD do not drone on and on in endless loops as do some other CDs in this genre. In fact, this is a CD of music. One could go as far as applying that old Romantic Era phrase "Song Without Words" to many of these compositions. Louis has created a CD that is refreshing and exciting. Put this CD in your player and enjoy an opening of your mind."

Wow, it really does the trick!

"I generally don't like electronica, but the soothing and motivating songs on this disc really does the trick! At the end of the day, it's great to sit, relax, and turn on "An Open Mind." Louis Lamp has written a beautiful medley of sounds that together help you to unwind. At the same time, it won't put you to sleep. It's a truly enjoyable album, and one I'm very happy to have stumbled across. I highly recommend it to anybody that wants easy to listen to tracks that still manage to pack a nice punch. You'll never look at electronica as an emotionless medium again. This is the way the entire genre should be!"
