Review: Timothy Cooper - East Wind


Timothy Cooper - East Wind
2008, New Piano Age Music


While not as inspiring as Light On The Water, Timothy Cooper turns out a solid set of new age piano instrumentals on East Wind. Cooper's latest is a pleasant listen, providing the perfect musical setting for relaxation, good dinner conversation or meditation. Cooper is very adept with the piano at his fingertips, but the energy and urgency of some of his previous works just never quite materializes here. At 30 tracks, East Wind is more a series of musical vignettes than full constructed compositions. There are some interesting excerpts here, but I'd almost prefer to hear Cooper take the ten or twelve most promising pieces and take the time to flesh them out and give them full life.

Rating: 2.5 Stars (Out of 5)
