Big Romance - Best Selling Romantic Gifts for Couples | Perfect for Anniversaries, Valentine's Day & Date Nights

...Although i'm a huge Elliott Smith fan, & have a love for the low-fi & minimalistic, acoustic sound, i just had a hard time getting into this. Yes, i suppose this is low-fi, but at times, it almost sounds overly low-fi, almost cheesy. And its not that i dont like cheesy music, we all have our "guilty pleasures". As warm as these soft melodies are, I can't help but feel that David Kitt is holding something back from us. Although his voice is lovely, reminding me at times of Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters), i'm not sure if it quite makes up for the lacsidaisical production. I'm not sure if this was intentional or on purpose, but it just sounds like the artist was a bit lazy, & could have done alot more with these songs. I dont know why such a talented artist such as this David Kitt, would waste his time with poor sounding recording equipment. I believe he could sincerely put his talent to use in a professional studio. These songs are quite wonderful, but they're just boardering on the truely magnificent. At times Kitt also reminds me of another hidden gem of a band called Departure Lounge, the only difference being that Departure Lounge actually brings their talent to fruitation w/ proper recording equipment. Another reviewer likened Kitt to Nick Drake, i also dont feel this was a fair or accurate comparison of Kitts music. Nick Drake was a very dark & enigmatic character who's music floated around an existential philisophical backround. Kitt is neither dark nor enigmatic from what little i know of him... Although Kitts melodies are beautiful like Drakes were, his are not dark & haunting. Kitts music gives me more of a warm, optimistic type of vibe. Another reviewer said that Kitts music was: "romantic yet not traumatic". This is the only description of Kitts music that i've come across, that is accurate. For me their really arent any standouts on this cd, but the 1st track: "Song from hope st. (brooklyn,ny) really caught my ear. Track 8: "Whispers return the sun, rest the moon" is a very lovely & memorable tune, as track 9: "You and the city", and track 10: "Into the breeze". Although i do understand, why people love the music of this native Irishman, i just feel that David Kitt himself possesses alot of potential that he's holding back from his listeners. ...
