Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Out of the Blue' is a profoundly uplifting, wonderfully eclectic masterclass in avant-garde progressive pop and post-minimalism. Robert Ashley collaborator "Blue" Gene Tyranny blends remarkably peaceful, jazz-inflected piano arrangements with deeply philosophical, gently spoken vocal musings to create a uniquely introspective, incredibly calming pop experiment.
