t: naive
2001, Galileo Records
CyberHome: www.NaiveLand.de

The CD naive is a mildly progressive collection of tracks that 
center around depressing keyboard chordal movements and broken-
hearted, self-pitying, despondent lyrics. The style and sound are 
similar to Pink Floyd and U2, less any inspiring guitar solos hammered 
out by those bands. The music sounds very drug-oriented, heroine and 
alcohol coming to mind. The singer "t" sounds amazingly like Bono 
from U2 and could probably cover U2 without effort.

The compositional style lacks rhythm and is very slow moving. The 
chord progressions are dark, monotonous, oppressive, and depressing. 
The instrumentation is keyboard and vocal centric and presents a 
cohesive sound overall, much in the same style as Pink Floyd, less the 
grace of the guitar of David Gilmour.

To be fair, the first track, "She Said", has a good build up and delivers 
a decent climax, despite its droning repetition in the build up. The 
lyrics are heart-felt and will reach anybody who has endured lost love. 
"She Said" has a very U2 sound to it and is probably good enough to 
get radio air time.

This music might appeal to listeners who dwell in the depression that 
Pink Floyd voiced. But, my thinking is that life is short and you only 
get one go around. So, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, get over it, 
get on with your life, and find the silver lining in the cloud. Don't 
waste your life on drugs and alcohol. You can not get the time back 
once it is lost. And, you definitely will not get your life back if you lose 
that to drugs. It is not a game. It is not cool. Being dead from heroin 
is definitely not cool.
