Certain CD s require the creation of proper complementary atmospheres in order to enjoy the music fully. These CD s are like screenplays.
Specific dialogue works best when paired with the correct visuals and milieu.
Take the dialogue out of that context and maybe you can understand it and feel it, but it loses some impact. A Night at the Playboy Mansion isn t meant for a small apartment on a cold and gray November afternoon. A Night at the Playboy Mansion needs to flow in a less confining area. I blame myself for not creating the proper atmosphere though, because I guarantee that if I were listening to this CD surrounded by Playboy s buxom bunnies this would be the end-all to musical vibes. As it is, there are some enjoyably intricate mixes on this collection, but it seems too lengthy at times and doesn t always maintain a funky edginess.
