Beyond time and space

"This album, one extended piece split (randomly?) into 99 tracks, sounds like this: A disillusioned youth bought a Burt Bacharach CD. Suddenly, in the midst of the sprawling, crooning beauty of "What's New Pussycat"-- time stops. Or slows, the moment expands to fill the universe, which is finally living and breathing the magnificence that lies within each infinitesimal, perfect moment of Bacharach's smooth as butter vocal artistry. In short: a magnificent album, which allows us to escape ordinary time and space, to find refuge in the usually ever-escaping moment which -- even in the music of as great an artist as Burt Bacharach -- is gone before we can hardly appreciate it fully."

It's not just a little bit buttery; it's Utterly Butterly Go

"Lull (a.k.a Mick Harris) has once again proved that he's a fantastic dark ambience artist. After listening to the Cold Summer and Continue albums, I became addicted to his unique style and wanted more. I listened to Moments and was not disappointed. In my opinion, it was exactly what true ambient music should be; soundscapes without beats. The music is almost minimal, droning and unlike anything I've heard before, but at the same time, I found it so interesting to listen to. It features a variety of "air conditioner" like sounds, which generally appear and run on with no other sounds present. They change every few minutes to wind like sounds and other droning machine like noises before returning to the "air conditioner" phases again. Some moments feature layers of different sounds but these appear only infrequently and are short lived.



It's an excellent CD in my opinion for relaxation and it never fails to send my mind to another world. It should definately be a part of any Dark Ambient fans collection.

Mick can do no wrong

"Air conditioner references aside, between this disc and it's precursor "Continue" Mick appears to be taking us on a trip through some Giger inspired spaceship in a well know Ridley Scott film. This is the antithesis of House of Pain's "Jump Around". One should buy this, get comfy (motionless, even) and collapse into it.



It'll take you...THERE..."
