  • Ambient Zither Masterpiece

    3 out of 5 stars
    Uvib_UDecember 11, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is a great choice for setting the mood in the background. It's mainly a mesmerizing, minimalist zither work by Laraaji, but you can certainly hear Eno's influence too, so he deserves the credit on the cover. I'm more into Eno's own Ambient series pieces, but it's awesome that Eno discovered this guy playing on the street and gave him a shot at contributing to this crucial music series! It's one of those rare albums that's oddly more engaging when you're not focusing on it, playing softly in the background rather than blasting it loud. I find the second side more captivating than the first.

  • Ambient Zither Delight

    3 out of 5 stars
    Apis_EMarch 10, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is a great album to have playing softly in the background. It's mainly a captivating, minimalist zither album by Laraaji, but it definitely has enough of Eno's influence to justify his name on the cover. I do prefer Eno's own works in the Ambient series, but it's awesome that Eno discovered this guy playing on the street and gave him a chance to contribute to this significant collection of music! It's one of those rare albums that's actually more enjoyable to listen to when it's playing softly in the background rather than loud and upfront. I find the second side more engaging than the first.

  • Zither Drone Delight

    Zither ambiance, how awesome is that? Much like Charlemagne Palestine delved into the piano's textures, crafting overlapping overtones that birthed fresh sounds, this track's rhythm morphs into a drone-like experience. I might even prefer this over Eno's work from that era! :D

    Zither ambiance, right? Pretty awesome! Just like how Charlemagne Palestine dug into piano textures, making layers of overtones that birthed fresh sounds, this track's super rhythmic yet droney. Honestly, I might even prefer it over Eno's work from that era! :D
