AMG Review of Trust

Jim Brenholts
All Music Guide

Trust is one of Patrick O'Hearn's more popular CDs, owing mostly to its consistency. He has been able to perform -- even prosper -- in many different e-music styles. On this disc, he limits himself to two or three styles, and it works. The dark textures and overtones allow listeners to settle and get intimate with O'Hearn's soundscapes and atmospheres. This is not scary or disturbing dark ambience. It is not psychoacoustic. It is somber. It's a good disc, and will appeal to fans of Jonn Serrie, John Flomer, and Kevin Braheny.
