The description of this had me a bit put off… so I started this listen expecting to be annoyed at the runtime and “found music” aspects of the endeavor. Well, surprise surprise! This is a pretty incredible listen. I was completely absorbed by this. I listened to it all the way through twice in a row because I had repeat play turned on by accident but when it restarted just wanted to hear it again. Excellent pick!

This was a very lovely album

I tend to listen to these albums on headphones as I go about my day and some suffer more from this treatment than others. I listened to half of this along the commute but was actually sitting with it in a much less distracting environment for the balance. It had a tendency to fade into the background without higher focus, just piano sweeps rising and falling. It merits closer attention. Interesting stuff and a lot of variety.

Cool concept, would have preferred that Frahm stuck to the more experimental, electronic-driven components that made use of industrial, in-situ rhythms. Still, the straight piano sections are still mostly interesting and it's a neat performance piece. Not the most exciting LP at times, but something novel and different for sure.

It’s less of an album and more of a sci-fi movie end credits soundtrack.

I admire the effort and I enjoyed this one as background music… but I think the actual effect of recording all over the place never really shines through. Every once in a while an audience would cheer but that’s about all that distinguished the takes from each other. Not a bad album though!

Hmmm. It's lovely, I recognise some of it, either from soundtrack or social media. The piano is astounding at points. It is also, at points, a bit boring, as any chilled, ambient music can be...

Interesting album. Very nice to listen to (when you are relaxing, sleeping etc.) Not very exciting, but it is exactly what I like sometimes.

Said and done was a little too much. I would rather have chosen Trance Frendz

Not enough happens here. I dig the mix of synth and raw piano. But it felt like nothing was happening most of the time. I would kind of tune out until all if a sudden, the song was good for a minute. Also, live records are a hard sell on this list. They don't highlight the best an artist has to offer in most cases. And I would say that's probably true here. Live shows aren't a good introduction to most artists.
