NOTE TO READERS: It seems I have been given the job of one of the official reviewers, so I decided to introduce myself. I am but 17 years old ^_^ and slowly working my way around the bass world, so many of my reviews aren't 'technically correct' [If there is such a thing] but I'll just tell you what I find in the music. I get all into the music so you might find me going off on some intense imagery every now and again but that's the way I like to listen. I'm also not particularly focused on finding faults in the music and rather look to the good. Thanks. Jade

21st Century Grasslands by Kai Alami is an enlightening emotive album and the first chance I have had to listen to
With a variety of sounds and instruments mostly in a folk Celtic direction. Kai Horsthemke’s fretless bass sound is full rounded and satisfying. It’s the first fretless bass I have listened to extensively and I love it!
Rhakim's voice is entrancing and haunting. One feels they are in a modern mythic fairytale -perhaps by a fireside, in an Ancient Town or in the gentle rain
I particularly enjoyed the Irish Flute!
The Magic Farmer/Sam's Song/Heartland is probably my favourite, along with Om Mani Padme Hum and Irgendwie and Taus Lullaby…I can’t choose

An Exquisite delicacy of tunes. =)
