I must admit that when I received this, I wasn’t too into it. I have my share of new agey synth-heavy funky electronic music in my collection, but I wasn’t too into this. This is way too lounge-y for my tastes. However, by the end of the second listen, it began to grow on me a little bit. The promo sheet that came with this disc states that Gerold Kukulenz’s aim is to "breathe life into electronic music, to tell stories without saying words, to create song-structures without singing." I must admit that he seems to fall a bit short on this. Overall, this is pretty much easy listening / lounge music. If you have someone who has resisted the idea of electronic music, this may be a good disc to get them. For my tastes, it was a bit too bland. Even so, there are some good tracks on this disc. Some of the high points include "Miles High," with sweeping synth pads and an undercurrent of appegiated notes, "Under Water," which maintains a smooth, atmospheric feel with a continuous lilting guitar line, and "Ocean," with slow moving drones and repetitive synth line. One notable low point is the opening track, "On the Nighttrain," which would sound at home on the Spice channel. I would say that the average ChainDLK reader is not looking for this type of music, but if you are looking for something that can serve as background music, but dark ambient is a bit too unstructured for your tastes, this may fit the bill. This is lounge music for the electronic age.
