Funny thing is I was reading the SLC Weekly and came across a review of this CD recently. It was very vague, and only focused on the lyrics in which it gave a very narrow and negative review of. So, me being the rebellious explorer that I am just had to check this out for myself, if nothing else than to laugh it off, but, and a huge but...when I heard the tracks (even in the mp3 format) I was stunned!- The lyrics may be a bit different, but an Artist ought to be different and the lyrics are poetic, sensitive, and thought provoking. Zenn takes the ordinary everyday, and exposes the magic therein. Not to mention the brilliant production and beautiful instrumentation going on. Granted, this album does not seem to be the kind of CD one would play at a dance party, but so what...this is something I would listen to in my car, or at work, etc. This album reminds me of early Velvet Underground, but more sophisticated. Zenn's voice is unique, but sounds kind of like the guy from They Might Be Giants, throw in some Morrissey and early Bowie and Lennon. I hear the Dylan thing too. It depends on the song and what mood, but he is definitely doing his own thing which is what a true artist ought to be doing. I also love the abstract and ambient tapestry of sound sewn through out the moody, but very even tempered CD. I will definitely be buying this one. Just goes to show that you can't believe everything you read, good or bad. But I am glad Cd baby gives the listener a voice on this site, and Zenn was worth my time.

Taking all hyperbole as a given, this is a fine CD and a worthy addtion to the collection of anyone who appreciates good music and sincere lyricism.

This CD has become part of my daily routine! I play it from start to finish at least once a day! I highly recommend this to everyone, no matter what type of music you enjoy. This CD will enhance your listening enjoyment as well as your music collection!

If you like Bob Dylan and David Bowie you will love "Strange Destinations". Eddy Zenn combines beautiful melodies with a folk feeling and layers them in a creative musical environment that pushes it out of the average folk music realm.
