by Jim BrenholtsSummerland is a CD of hopeful and cheerful minimalism from Mychael Danna and Tim Clément. This remarkable album is at least ten years ahead of its time. While lots of artists were creating deep and dark ambience and minimalism in this era, very few were creating bright minimalism. The atmospheres are pristine and gentle, and the pastoral imagery is serene and soothing. This CD will appeal to fans of Jeff Pearce, Richard Burmer, J. Arif Verner, and John Flomer. It is essential minimalism.
