A Somewhat Awkward Step Forward.......2000-07-19

If I were to give a name to Steve Von Till has crafted here, if would be "ambient folk". Minimalistic, acoustic guitar with various electronic treatments and noises in the background. Von Till has made an original, somber and notable album.

The problem with it is that only about half of the tracks are strong(3, 5 and 7 are classics, in my estimation) while the rest just have nothing with which to distinguish themselves from each other. They simply take the doctrine of minimalism too far, repeating over and over. This is not to say that tracks like "Midheaven" and "Stained Glass" are complete throwaways; they do achieve the unique emotional territory of brooding observance that the rest of the album does, just not quite as well. Von Till's voice on As the Crow Flies does indeed sound very much like Swans' lead singer Micheal Gira, as was previously noted by another reviewer. There is a certain resemblence of this music to the proto-goth band's more acoustic moments, but Vont Till's compositions seem far more removed from reality and less angst-ridden. His lyrics are well written and effective for the music he is playing, but his vocals have a sense of awkwardness in some places, particularly "Midheaven", where the low gravelly tinch in his voice sounds anything if not forced. This is not a song-ruining element by any means, merely one of many flaws that contributes to the loss of two stars in my rating. It's stronger points border on the tear-inducing, and its weaker ones just make you want to hit the skip button halfway through. Hopefully with his next solo release(if he plans on doing one) he will have these kinks ironed out and produce something that is homogenous in its haunting, subdued emotivity.

Steve Von Till remains in the shadows...........2000-07-10

On "As The Crow Flies", Steve Von Till gets a chance to further explore the dark, minimalist melodies that were only beginning to be hinted at on his band Neurosis' "Times of Grace" album. Steve definitely steps out of the dark shadows that Neurosis casts with their music on this CD...however, he only steps right into a darker one. This CD is at once saddening, morose, and somber. However, it is so well written, and mood altering, you can't help but be drawn in. The delayed guitar effect on track three is heartbreaking, as is most of this album. If you are a Neurosis fan, you will most definitely enjoy this. I recommend with four out of five, which is a super high rating.

A nice solo debut from Neurosis singer.......2000-07-07

"As the crow flies" is the debut solo album from Neurosis singer/guitarist Steve von Till. It's a collection of seven acoustics songs recorded in his home studio between 1996 and 1999. Althougth the sound is very different from Neurosis albums the mood is quite the same, very dark and longing for transcendance. Steve von till croons on low, repetitive melodies, building a sound quite reminiscent of Michael Gira (Swans singer) solo efforts like "Drainland". Not for the fainthearted but pretty rewarding if you're in the right mood.

Underneath The Noise.......2001-07-19

Generally, solo albums from groups as strong as Neurosis tend to be rather weak. Such releases fall by the way side into the dreaded cut-out bin. Steve Von Til's first solo outing should never succumb to such a fate. As The Crow Flies is a beautiful and hypnotically melancholic album. It is the underside to Neurosis' roar, the quiet moments of disturbing calmness. Rarely have I immediately connected with someone's music, but Von Til's brooding lyrics and acoustic guitar brought me right in. On another note, I don't understand the high price for this CD. I didn't pay this much for it. I can only assume it is a typo.

David Crow is a genius!.......2000-06-11

David Crow plays with the maturity of an aged-veteran and the energy and dexterity of a young man. He has played for the Osborne Brothers and is known to make the occasional appearance at clubs and law schools in the Nashville area. This album showcases his wide range of ability and is a must-have for any fan of great fiddle-work.
