Customer reviews of Bestiary

Summary: Robert Rich becomes Legend!
Comment: This album has become my favorite album. Any description would not do it justice in my eyes, as I have tried and just can't put into words the expression on this record. Being a long time fan of Robert Rich, I have to admit, even I did not quite understand this album when it was released.
But now as a soul in his who listens to predominately all electronic music, I will say that this is simply one of the most unique and astounding works of modern soundscape art I've ever heard, if not the best.
This album really does re-define what one artist can achieve in a world of muddled, boring, badly thought out records.
It's a flawless,alien, exquisite, micro-cosmic, undulating,creeping,glurping masterpiece, and is...in my opinion... Robert Rich's crowning moment as an artist and composer.
There's really nothing quite like it anywhere that I've heard.
So a five star must for this fan.

Summary: Not very metal
Comment: I was looking for Bestiary's "The Murder Wheel" when I found this, but I was a bit curious and gave a listen... I have to say I am quite impressed, very soothing. You should definately give this a listen, but I still like the metal band better.

Summary: Tasteful ambient noise
Comment: Months before purchasing this cd I read a lot of reviews of this release by Robert Rich and became well aware that it might take a few listenings to warm up to this unusual "soundtrack to a strange land". Upon first listening it was actually pretty much what I had been imagining. It's actually interesting, though, especially the second half of the cd. At times, the sounds are almost perverse. One thing is for sure, the cd is not boring at all. It's extremely experimental stuff, and I'm glad I have it. Even for alternative ambient music, this pushes the boundaries. I really admire Robert Rich for taking what must have been a risk. If you are familiar with Robert Rich's music, then you will see how much of a departure "Bestiary" is from previous releases.

Summary: It is What Turned Me On To Dark Ambient!
Comment: I am going to be brief here. Beastiary is a wonderful collage of sound scapes, innertwined with some rythmn. It is a fantastic record. I did not think much of the so-called, "Ambient New-Age" musical movement, but listen to Robert Rich and THIS record in particular opened my eyes to the depth and creativity of this style. It took a number of listens but this really grows on you. If you were like me and thought all ambient was boring, GIVE THIS CD a SPIN! Awesome record! I can not wait to see what he does next. Fantastic spin!!!

Summary: Superb....as is expected from Robert
Comment: This is an excellent recording. For those of you who are long time fans of Roberts work, it is indeed different. One of the earlier reviews states he was left scratching his head...as was I. But it grows on you like the lichen in the woods that Robert seems to excel so well at conjuring just such mental imagery.
I got the pleasure of meeting Robert Rich in early April 2002 at a Canadian live show. He played many extended tracks off of this album as well as "Strata","Soma" and "Gaudi" styled albums. It was a true mental journey to say the least. And I must also add he is a very cool guy in real life.
Long time fans will may be slightly disoriented at first by the new style with his new modular synthesizer. But it really does sound better every time and doesnt wear thin. Newcomers to this artist will appreciate this album I'm most certain! You won't be let down either way.
