The latest Tower Pulse magazine, March 1995 includes a review of Michael
Nesmith's "The Garden" on page 95. It reads:

In 1974, ex-Monkee turned country-pop-eccentric-cum-media-visionary Michael
Nesmith confused even his most ardent supporters with The Prison, a concept
album that was a bit too, well, comceptual for most listeners to digest.
Now, with the ensuing decades having vindicated many of his multi-media
brainstorms, Nesmith is back to his old tricks with "The Garden" (Rio, ***).
I won't presume to judge the success of the projects
short-story-with-soundtrack confluence or the text's musings on the nature
of perception, but it's safe to say that the seven exquisitely textured,
mostly instrumental pieces that comprise the CD sound quite lovely and
unforced. Nesmith's new Rio label has simultaneously reissued The Prison,
and that sounds nice too.

rated above average.

Hope you all enjoy this!
