This in no way denigrates the artist's previous efforts in any way but each time I put a CD into my player I am looking for a pleasing sonic experience and if I don't find one then it won't matter how many great CD's this artist has put out in the past or how much I enjoyed the last CD they released because I wouldn't be able to recommend their latest CD because it did not stand on its own two feet as a great release. I guess this attitude can be summed up quite succinctly with the expression "what have you done for me lately". And yet when I listen to each CD that comes across my desk here at Ambient Visions I like to hear it as an individual release and evaluate it on its own merits and not immediately compare it to everything else an artist has released in the past. Robert is no stranger to most folks who have listened to ambient music over the years with more than 30 releases worldwide under his belt. The music that has been culled here on this CD was originally written as the soundtrack to a series of video releases created by Terrence Dunn who also happened to be an admirer of Robert's work. This CD is the debut release of Robert Scott Thompson on the Lens Records label and gives fans of Robert's music a chance to see him stretch out into some other genres including elements of electronica, some ethnic influences and a tribute to French composer Erik Satie.
