Amazon.co.uk Review
Recorded in Scotland's Hamilton Mausoleum, a space often claimed to feature the longest and warmest reverberation of all Europe's buildings, Into Silence finds Tommy Smith striking a very different note from that which marked the first two releases on his own Spartacus label--one each by Smith and his wife Laura. Whereas those two quartet releases put the accent firmly on contemporary swing, Into Silence finds Smith with only his tenor and soprano saxophone and the odd bell or two for company, exploring a rubato blend of medieval chants, folk songs and melodic improvisations. Coltrane's "Naima" and the standards "My Romance" and "My One and Only Love" also feature in the 71-minute programme, but with no disruption of the overall mood. The result is a hauntingly beautiful album: Smith's now sculpted, now buttered lines conjure music of spacious, deeply poetic appeal, which can be recommended especially to anyone who enjoyed Jan Garbarek's collaborations with the Hilliard Ensemble, or such earlier and comparable solo explorations of extraordinary buildings as Paul Horn's and Tomasz Stanko's recordings in the Taj Mahal. --Michael Tucker

A collection of haunting acoustic tracks for night owls March 18, 2002
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Into silence is a rare type of cd It is full of orginal haunting melodies played in an acoustically perfect location. Put the lights out look at the stars and you can "feel", some of the emotion that Tommy must have put into this creation. Guaranteed to relax if you like smooth sax sounds with only the atmosphere as an accompanyment
