Reviewer:HighCalm - - April 5, 2006 Subject: The Joy of Flatlining Tree Helicopter Rain I
A vaguely remembered sense of urgency fails to disturb us from the quiet reverie of the Helicopters Rain.
As we are somnolently rushed away in an ambulance, life support rather lazily reports the bodys distress to a spirit content to drift just outside of its reach. The vehicles siren is only a distant siryn to a life left behind. The time has finally come to rest, and gradually slip away from the madly spinning top of a receding world.
Well, if not all that, it at least goes with the morning coffee or tea!
Tree Helicopters Rain I is definitely a more relaxed-less haunting venture in the Webbed Hand series, and almost playful in its teasing use of warning s.o.s.-like beeps and blips, which really only seem to conspire with the mellow drift which the work intends to convey. I count this as another successful entry into the Rain series, and yet another very interesting facet of the talented Mr. McDill.
Reviewer:knisterwerk - - September 10, 2005 Subject: . Dumpfes langsames Stampfen und sanfte melodische Klänge, die leider regelmäÃig von einem ein Tick zu aufdringlichen Morsekode gestört werden. Daher schwankte ich zwischen vier und fünf Sterne, entschied mich letztendlich aber für vier.
