2 out of 5 stars Simon House - 'Yassasim' (Griffin).......2005-06-22

Never was all that thrilled about this disc by the Hawkwind/Bowie/High Tide/Third Ear Band violinist.I enjoyed his three Spiral Realms efforts MUCH better.Couple of tunes here that are fair to put in your home entertainment center every great now and then are the title track "Yassasim",the fifteen-minute "Northlands" and "Neuroscape".

(1) Make an album (2) Using either an alias or a buddy, flood amazon.com with 5-star ratings of your album. Apparently amazon.com exercises no editorial judgment of its reviews - after all, selling CDs, not objectivity, is amazon's goal. That makes it easy for you and/or your best buddy to make it seem as though your music is of 5 star quality. This album is a perfect example. The 5 star rating came from the same review sent in twice by the same person using an alias. "Best Instrumental Album Ever"? Sure, if you ignore the several thousand albums of New Age music which are infinitely better. Compare this to instrumental music by Mike Oldfield, Mehdi, Jean-Michel Jarre, Jesse Cook, Ottmar Liebert, Chris Spheeris, even Yanni, to name only a few, and you'll see that there is no comparison. The music on this album is lackluster; the engineering, woeful. At best, the album merits one star for effort... and an honorable mention for the P.T. Barnum Award.

5 out of 5 stars the best instrumental album ever.......1999-10-02

Simon known mainly for his stints with Hawkwind, Bowie,and High Tide released his only solo album.

Criminally ignored this album has light... dark....sublety.. bombast... Mood and time changes abound with Simons beautiful violin cutting through a synth backing. I just cannot find words to describe how wonderful this album is.. I feel sad so few people have ever heard it. No one I've played this album to has ever failed to love it.

Special mention for Sherwood which is quite simply the most beautiful instrumental I've ever heard.. the imagery from the music is astounding.

When you consider some of the rubbish music about the fact that this album is not appreciated more is incredible.. oh well... at least a few have taste
