Zeitgeist / Here and Now

2 disc compilation. A xylophone extravaganza, ranging from light jazz to what seemed like an attempt at Halloween music; it’s a curious musical mix that seems to make sense.

The first half of the 1st disk has more lively beats with more adventurous and exploratory in the second half and a very much progressive sound in the second CD. Disc 2 is definitely an adventurous interpretation of music surrounds a few traditional and fun pieces

10* xylophone fun, upbeat tinkling, fun and playful*

11 curious mix of bells, vocal noises, fun beats surrounded by experimental noises?

12 Very slow, soft bells and piano, non-progressive, but tranquil

13 slow and soft whistle and bells, like walking through a forest at night

14 gas flowing out of a nozzle, while running down stairs, creative

15 mild jazz trying to tell a story, xylophone returns with friends for a fun, playful race, ending 5 sec early

16 vocals, chaos lead by piano and drums, people talking overlaid by various noises, space-aged sounding
