It's achingly beautiful without relying on maudlin sentimentality to win the listener over. Genius.

Alternative PressWholly ambitious and mostly successful. [Feb 2003, p.72]
-
MixerThe textured ambience is a simple, sumptuous recipe that is not wholly unprecedented, but certainly welcome. [Dec 2002, p.80]
-
Where others in this vein opt for a hazy, nebulous cloud of half-remembered dreams, Manitoba's music is direct and unassuming while still remaining evocative.
-
A subtle, great album that moves along with a pastoral feel but never feels boring.
-
Both technical enough for scholastic jazz ears and organic enough for acoustic traditionalists.
-
Although its influences are strong and well synthesized, and the results are listenable, it falls short of being anything other than used bin fodder.

kandersenJan 22, 2004First song fantastic! (10/10); rest of the album (3/10) forgettable. Like a single with filler--and the length of CD (39 minutes) attests to this.
