Guitar-based ambient instrumental stuff. I’ll be honest – it was hard to get through this. Experimental is one thing, but long songs with softly plucked guitar and gentle percussion that fail to go anywhere are not enjoyable.

The guitarwork is mellow and melodic, but numbing and inconsequential. Brookhaven is missing that least amount of dynamic drive that would engage a listener. This music is so passive and directionless that it would work better as incidental scoring for a low-budget documentary on spackle.

Bottom Line: For those who can stay awake during Brian Eno’s “Discreet Music.”
