    A pristine dream magic seems to inform Apologues--the fluid serenity of the music projects a lulling, murmured unreality that suggests that the album is a figment of the listener’s imagination even while it is in play.

    Short, but very, very bittersweet.

    Each fleeting harmonious moment on the album relies on the one that came before it, and the one that comes after.

    Without any contrast, his vibraphone seems to grin vacantly, as if pumped full of sedatives.
