Vibraphone

Vibraphone, by Laura Klein and Ted Wolff is just a bit too bland and generic to hold the interest of listeners from beginning to end. Ultimately, it sounds overly repetitive and lacking a sense of variety.

It is obvious the songs on this album are performed by skilled musicians and their talent does come through on many of the tracks. But there is a lack of cohesiveness that detracts from its listenability and makes the audience wonder what exactly was trying to be achieved.

While there are songs here that stand out (the eighth track on the album is a highlight), overall they just seem to blend into one another too much and the resulting effort falls flat.

Perhaps if there had been more of a variety of sounds contained on "Vibraphone," there might have been a different atmosphere created. But the result produced here seems to be an album of pretty elevator music and not much more.
