Dennis Wilson Pacific Ocean Blue [import]

4 stars out of 5 -- "PACIFIC OCEAN BLUE is a cinematic meditation on loss, both personal and environmental. A trio of wrenchingly intimate songs about a failed relationship anchor the album..."
"[A] piano-driven epic of doomed romanticism....[With] raw-throated, harmonically rich ballads..."
"Wilson's solo project now bears flattering resemblance to other cherished winter of discontent discs from the mid-70s, of the order of Big Star's THIRD or Shuggie Otis's INSPIRATION INFORMATION."
3 stars out of 5 -- "The music amounts to a compelling period piece....Listen hard, and you can hear the sound of life lived so near the existential edge that it beggars belief."
Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "How can music this expansive, ambitious and affecting have slipped through the cracks?"
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] moody, groovy and deeply congenial album. Dennis had his brother Brian's gift for melody..."
Paste (magazine) (p.79) - "Full of lush harmonies, grandiose orchestrations and poignant lyrics, these songs have lost none of their innocent melancholy over the last three decades."
