Review of the Twink CD & picture-book from Indieville.com by Matt Shimmer

Mmm... what a fun little bundle this is! Mike Langlie's Twink project is a book and CD combination that is both whimsical and adorable.

The written part is a picture book in the most literal sense - there's no words. It is a beautifully designed tale about a rabbit's day. Adorable. The music is similarly cute — the tunes are toy piano instrumentals with song titles like "Hoppity Jones," "Jibber Jabber," and "Plink Plinka Plunk." Often other musicians will also contribute additional instruments to the mix — the list is huge: banjo, violin, gongs, and more - but that just adds to the fun. The songs are saccharine-sweet, well-composed ditties. While few tracks stick out (the almost funky, accordion-donned "Cloud Watcher" is an exception), that's because all of this CD's twenty five songs are focused more on creating and maintaining a specific idea — the entire thing is solid, so it's hard to single out any moments of exceptional brilliance.

While this overtly cute book and CD combo may be a bit too happy for all you cynics and pessimists out there, those with a sweet tooth will find Twink quite to taste.
