Since David Benoit last CD (American Landscape) on Mute Records back in 1997, I have felt a massive void in my life. Lead single “American Landscape” and “Max’s Boogie” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. There is no doubt that David Benoit has talent. American Landscape is the best essence of David Benoit.
very upbeat.
Max’s Boogie good vocals. Nice and different song. If I Can Believe - a classic song. A Personal Story as a highlight of American Landscape contains a ton of cool melodies. Rue De Ta Soleil is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Saying Goodbye. Mr. Rodriguez’s Opus make listening to David Benoit like being in some sort of time warp. David Benoit allows each song to breathe and flourish.
