No Blue Thing

No Blue Thing is new-age musician Ray Lynch’s third studio album, released on August 15, 1989.

[8] Keith Tuber of Orange Coast praised the album, commenting that Ray Lynch "has a way with melodies, combining classical, acoustic and synthesized pop elements.".

[9] JA of Keyboard noted that some of the album is "more of the same" from Deep Breakfast;[1] JA wrote that the "DX patches have a little more bit this time, but the trick of running staccato patterns through a delay line in triplet rhythm hadn't changed" and that the album, like his previous works, lack percussion instruments.

[10] Robert Carlberg of Electronic Musician compared the album to Reed Maidenberg's Unexpected Beauty, praising the album for its combination of electronic and acoustic instruments but criticizing it for having an overreliance of arpeggiations as well as its use of "plodding" time signatures and for its "warm, fuzzy" instrumentation.

Carlberg concluded that the album's flaws "rob [both Lynch and Maidenberg] of whatever vitality classical training would bring.
