rik maclean's PiNG THiNGS' CD REViEWs

"Satori" by Thom Brennan

I've long been impressed by the ability of an artist to create and
sustain a long form piece of music. To be able to form a work that
grows and evolves over an extended span of time while still
maintaining a basic theme, an intrinsic truth, seems to me almost
like creating a living thing.

Thom Brennan has done just that with his disc "Satori". Stretching
over 70 minutes in length, "Satori" is a beautiful, flowing, organic
work that totally inspires mad devotion in me.  From start to finish
it wraps around the listener, caressing them, inviting them deeper
into it's spell. It breathes and pulses with life, lightly kissing the 
soul,
dancing across the senses.  I love this disc...
