Downright creepy- if you allow it...........2006-03-07

I rarely write reviews- had to add my 2 cents here though. My interest in NWW was recently re-kindled- not sure why, it just happened. Decided to purchase Salt Marie among others to 'catch up.' I am addicted to this disc.
I have to disagree with the other reviewers here. The last thing you want to do with this disc is put it on as background- doomed from the start. It requires an uninterupted hour of your free time to give your undivided attention. Keep an open mind. A stereo system that handles low frequencies well will also help. The fluctuating waves can really be felt if you have the right gear. It may be power of suggestion (I had read reviews before listening), but it really does conjure images of a ship lost at sea, drifting, dark, cold, lonely... Some of the sound loops actually made my hair stand (creaking boards). If melancholy is not your cup of tea (on occasion), or if you lack patience or enough distractionless free time, you will likely come to the conclusion that this CD is repetitive and boring rubbish- something to do house chores to and keep finding yourself in the same rut. On the other hand, if you enjoy a challenge, give it a try. I have not heard 'Salt' from Horse Hospital so I cannot compare that one. Finally, in so far as it lends credibility to my review (or takes it away depending on your point of view), chemicals did not have any part in the above opinion.

Beautiful BGM.......2004-04-14

Nice to have as background music while you're doing your cooking or having a cup of tea. Go to another room for half an hour and then return, and you'll find it still sounding exactly the same. Well at least it's more 'happening' than some of the more recent Hafler Trio stuff lol

Minimal music/Maximal pleasure.......2003-11-08

A theme of two repeating chords, hot and cold, that repeat over and over. It's an amazing disk about the derelict Marie Celeste ship that was abandoned (search the web, it's interesting). It's really terrific music, sound mingling, synths like waves, sound that gets into your brain. It's a disk you can't forget.

Every new release from NWW is somewhat eagerly awaited by enthusiasts in the 'new music' field. This hour-long piece was supposedly modified from another recent work simply titled 'Salt', released as a limited edition. 'Salt' only garnered a lukewarm reception from listeners, many of whom complained of 'too little going on'. Well there is certainly more going on here than the minimal, repetitive original, but as long, droney pieces go, 'SMC' still sounds less than impressive. Various extra sound samples were employed and repeated ad nauseum - a creaking door and what sounds like humming traffic for example - the water sound towards the end is great but it is too little too late. The piece would have worked better if condensed to about 30 minutes. There is just too little change over the excessive duration to sustain interest, other than provide a slightly cold and eerie atmosphere. Of course, that may be good enough for a lot of us, so if that's what you dig, then go for it. Personally though, I would prefer 'Spiral Insana' or even 'Soliloquy for Lilith' when it comes to the 'ambient' side of NWW.
