MP3 REVIEW: Luke Cowan “Ambient II”

Luke CowanAmbient II
Name Your Price Download

            Four more songs without titles.   The second song is an interlude at 52 seconds and the last song is an outro at 1:23, so this EP does tend to go by a lot faster than I think it should.   That’s definitely not a bad thing- especially for ambient music- because sometimes it can just feel as if it drags on forever.   No, Luke Cowan has found a good method here to keep the listener engaged.

            It takes about a minute and a half into the first song before we hear the ambient synth, so for a little while you might have to turn the song up extra loud or simply keep wondering if it is indeed playing or not.

            Side Thought:  At some point in time, I may just burn all four of Luke Cowan’s EPs onto a single CD, listen to them all in a row while lying down outside in the grass and write my thoughts out as I do.  That might actually be a bit of fun.

            I feel like these songs particularly tend to get cut off before they can ever really take off.   But again, when your main tag is ambient that is not such a bad thing.

            See you for the threequel!
