I am a little perplexed by the Amazon Reviewer on a number of issues. Firstly, I presume the reviewer means "Push the Limits" not "Push Out the Limits." Hardly bodes well for a review if the reviewer can't even be bothered to pick up the CD case to check he (she) knows what he (she) is talking about! Secondly, as has already been mentioned, anything worth doing in music has already been done - nothing these days is even remotely original. Thirdly, it is deeply unfair, not mention wholly untrue, to describe ambient music as not having any "beat." There's plenty of rhythm and beat in Engima's music, this album included.

Anyway, as for the This CD, I have to say I love it but then I am a big fan of Enigma. 'Push the Limits', ... Read More:

How can i put what i feel about this CD into words?
i am absolutely spellbound!! i have never heard anything of the likes of this. by far the best CD i have ever bought, Rumi's poetry itself is beyond this world, but the music and instruments used in this CD are perfect to accompany such sweet words of Rumi's love for God.

Hazrat Inayat Khan once said "when the soul is tuned to God, every action becomes music"

Rumi is a fountain of knowledge, the stream of love which poured from his heart, has been re-united and brought back, to give us a taste of the water of life, which he so eloquently spoke about.

"A life time without love is of no accord, love is the water of life, drink it down with heart ... Read More:

This album is unquestionably one of the best Electronica records ever made...

You simply cannot be an electronic music fan without owning this CD. If for some unknown, crazy reason you don't own it, BUY IT IMMEDIATELY!

A timeless classic... 10/10

55.Rainbow in Curved Air by: Terry Riley
October 25, 1990
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Rainbow in Curved Air
I first heard "Rainbow" in a radiocast around 1973. Second time was 6 years later, at school. And third time was in 1987, also in a radiocast. Now I have bought the CD.

The morale of this small story is that the music is something that is not heard often, but that it for some shapes the future. It was the first electronic piece that I know that I have heard (excluding "popcorn") and it was a direct inspirator for listening in to some even more advanced pieces of music.

I call the music ambient - and that is true, as the music is flowing and intonating with a form but without a solid theme. "Rainbow" is not trance music, but more demanding.

I also call the music daring, referring to the point in time where it arrived. ... Read More:

Since "Premiers Symptomes" means "first symptoms," it's appropriate that it's the name of Air's collection of early singles. This French duo created a warm sweep of electronica that sounded like a complete , which is only marred by two funky, rather awkward songs pasted on to the end.

"Modular Mix" kicks it off -- a dreamy song that sounds like the soundtrack for an underwater movie. "Casanova 70" and the languid "Les Professionals" add a lounge-y sound. And "J'Ai Dormi Sous L'Eau" and "Le Soleil Est Près de Moi" are sweet and slow , almost like a pair of trip-hop lullabies.

The rerelease of "Premiers Symptomes" was given a bonus -- two new tracks, "Californie" and "Brakes On." Well, they're a mixed blessing. They're actually ... Read More:

I bought this album under the premise I was going to be entertained and discover a music style that would uplift and make me feel warm inside. Instead I discovered an album I would not even recommend to my worst enemy. This album has zero musical quality and has been put together in such an ad hoc fashion that it is impossible to give it any creative merit. Avoid and steer your self towards other bands that actually have some talent.

I'd passed up the opportunity to buy a mint original vinyl copy of this some years ago since it was silly money but I regret it now. After all the reviews saying that Zeit was "difficult" at the very least I was therefore surprised to find an eminently listenable 75 minute trip which was so intoxicating I played it all over again immediately. You're either wired up to go with this or you're not, my only advice would be if you buy it and it leaves you nonplussed then you need to get out more. Out there that is!

Tired Sounds... was my first intro to SOTL, and I loved it.

Refinement... retains many of the aims, but is more instrumental, more melodic, and contains less purely drone-type pieces.

It is therefore still hauntingly beautiful while being slightly more intriguing.

I do not know where I would be without SOTL. I am so, so sad I missed them live in England earlier in 2008. Please come again Adam & Brian, please.
