 easy listening pleasure July 22, 2009
roger c (santa ana, california)
The compiler of the CD selected songs that are distinctly varied in style and form from one another but all are for easy listening pleasure. The musical flow from one song to the next is smooth. The sound quality is excellent. The song variations makes this CD never a MONOTONOUS listen, unlike the many CDs now flooding the market whose first to last song almost sounding the same with almost identical backup instrumentation for every song. This CD sounds fresh and worthy to be enjoyed repeatedly for a long time whenever one is tired listening to many monotonous CDs around. I usually rate 4 star a CD with commercial hits. This CD has no hit song yet it deserves a 5 star because I know I will be always listening to it.
Five Stars for the Price--and Amy Millan July 25, 2009

Hey, folks, why are you so keen to trash a FREE sampler here on Amazon? It's FREE. And it's a sampler. If you don't find something you like, try something else. The new Amy Millan track is pretty darn good and her album ain't out till September. I'm also quite enjoying "Fever of the Time" by Zeus. Discovering them here was cheaper than a flight to Toronto. Sure, these freebies can be hit and miss. But can't we all just get along?
 Not bad for a free sampler. June 26, 2009

There is a lot of bad free music on Amazon MP3, but I think this sampler fits into the better half of it. It's a really laid back sampler, and not all of the songs are very original, but most of them are still pretty listenable, and a few are actually quite unique. My favs are "We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed", "Neon Blue" and "Our Age".
 It's FREE folks! June 17, 2009

Three 1 star reviews? Complaining about 30 second previews? People, you can download it for FREE and listen to the whole thing! Clue-sticks needed.
Now, about the sampler, not a great package. A few interesting tracks. Maybe one or two artists I'll look at further. If I was promoting my label, I think I would gather stronger material overall. But it did expose me to artists I hadn't heard before. That's the job of a sampler. It's not 5 star, but better than 1 star.
Good Listen Overall, Thanks for Sharing June 17, 2009

It's a pleasant mixed bag. If you like Brian Eno you may like the new age/ambient instrumental of Bell Orchestre's Icicles Bicycles (I did). And I liked The Major Lift, another nice alt instrumental. And Los Campesinos, which is on par with a lot of the current post-punk sound. And probably more here ...
