Read what the reviewers are saying:

"The second album from Las Vegas-based musician David Mauk is quite simply one of the best albums I have ever heard. Every piece of music on this collection of ambient electronica is stunning, exotic, exquisite, and stirring. This is one of those CDs that are perfect from beginning to end. In fact, I was hard pressed to discern any real favorites (although I do have a few). But even if I want to hear certain tracks, I just let the CD play continuously. It’s just that good. If you listen to this in the car, you won’t want your commute to end before the album does".
- reviewer Raj Manoharan

"I really loved this album, it is full of melody and mood, Mr. Mauk is an excellent composer and musician, having created an album that works whether you appreciate the concept or just enjoy the tunes. Every track is never less than listenable and some stick in the memory for a long time - the mark of good music in my book. I hope to hear more of this musician in the future. I rank this as one of my albums of the year for 2010 - it's that bloody good".

"Ground Swell is the incredible follow-up to David Mauk’s well-received 2008 debut, 12 Months. This new release consists of a CD with fourteen instrumental compositions and a DVD with five music videos, all of which were inspired by the paintings of American artist Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Hopper took everyday slices of Americana and painted them with their flaws and imperfections, often using stark colors and evoking feelings of isolation and loneliness. Mauk’s electronic compositions convey a wide variety of emotions from melancholy and dark to playful and upbeat. They are especially effective behind the videos, which are fascinating black and white montages of films taken at about the same time as Hopper was painting. The music enhances the experience and brings color to the wonderful monochrome images..."

"Ground Swell is his 2010 release, unique not only by the great mood effect of his classic yet easygoing electronic compositions but some songs were inspired by American realist painter Edward Hopper and Ground Swell is a CD / DVD collector’s edition that beautifully captures the early American century with Cinematic drama and makes a nice collection by any standard. The 5 bonus video clips are nicely correlated with his unique brand of classic electronic music and are a beautiful addition to the audio CD since the extra sensory effect of video makes it easy for anyone to visualize his ambient music becoming a modern times movie score".
