This CD is a trip... quite literally. This is the first hypnosis CD I've ever listened to and I didn't really believe it would work, but it does. It's pretty crazy, but fun, and extremely relaxing. Buy this CD immediately. It's amazing.

AT LAST...........2002-06-04

This CD is both a must for any Fender Rhodes lover and a lesson for all pianists and keyboard players who have used, and are using, this instrument. Finally, a highly individual and insightful proposition of the sonic qualities of Fender Rhodes piano! This beautiful instrument almost fell into oblivion in the eighties and nineties, primarily due to the tragic commercialisation of the pop and jazz scene. If jazz musicians were the first to pick up the beautiful sonorities of the Fender Rhodes - think for example of Bill Evans and his manifold uses of the instrument both in his own music and in orchestral settings such as in Claus Ogerman's 'Symbiosis' - it is also true that it was within jazz that the instrument became gradually neglected due to the limitation of performance techniques and idioms in that specific area of music. Biro's CD is revealing in that here we have a musician who is at last trying to explore the lyrical potentialities of this instrument not through another obvious pitch-based context (ie. harmony versus melody), but by proposing a sensitive quest for the instrument's most evocative attribute, that is, the sound itself!

'Imprint' is indeed a delightful discovery of the uncharted sonic beauty of this instrument and Biro's musical sensitivity successfully avoids the old commonplace by exploiting the most captivating essence of the instrument through a highly intuitive use of a fluctuating 'harmony' between an ingenious interplay of volume and timbre. The result is the definition of a new instrument to our ears. In 'Elegant Enigmas' the former scenario is sharply contrasted by the incisive sound production techniques of the harpsichord. The two instruments are interlocked in a discourse articulated on the explicit opposition of these two dissimilar productions of tone colours and attacks: Biro skillfully creates a charming soundscape of shimmering beauty. It is these qualities, combined with the evocative simplicity of the gestures and the responsiveness of the resulting textures, that are most striking in this CD. Compared to Biro's two previous albums, there is a colossal development towards richer dimensions of sound and, more importantly, a discernible growth towards a deeper significance of music as an expressive and insightful art.

Rhodes ???dont make me laugh........2001-06-04

The only enigma here is why was this...was ever recorded in the first place. The rhodes sounds like a toy piano and the playing is worse than you can imagine. The music drones on without any interest for 50 minutes without any direction, its not even ambient! Just DULL...The rhodes is a beautiful instrument, here it sounds like...a kid's home keyboard, and a badly recorded one at that. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
