    [His] most spellbinding LP to date.
  2. With every album, Fennesz's music has become prettier and more accessible yet still retains his distinctive style-- and Venice is no exception.
  3. The most pressing problem is that Venice is rarely a challenging release.

    "Endless Summer," Christian Fennesz's last LP, is a classic. This one settles for being simply excellent--lush, lovingly textured, romantic music. Swoon-worthy. Expand
