In order to fairly evaluate this I would need to hear it in the right context. This would probably create the intended mood if it were used as a music bed for a show like "The World" or "Living on Earth." On its own this music left me quite neutral. But of course in the right context, juxtaposed with the right content it would gain a whole other dimension--and in doing so I imagine it would leave me feeling slightly blue.
Calming interstitial spot, provides an opportunity for contemplation and relaxation between current affairs pieces, very much of "All Songs Considered" ilk.
Spine-tingling mix of multiple voices of Carl Sandburg and music. Impeccable music/spoken-word timing. This will make you want to quit your day job and fill your fountain pen.

I'll play it on a drippy autumnal morning when I need to hear someone reminding me YOU DA MAN, YES YOU CAN!

Review of Porkchop
A diner describes the contents of his lunch box. Music/Spoken-word mix. Play it before lunch for timely lead-in.

A great blast of Fall-infused fun so gosh darned optimistic you'll want to shout "go, go, go" and re-embrace your life.
no kidding.
