2.0 out of 5 stars Unholy Alliance, April 1, 2006
This review is from: Before the War (Audio CD)
Soundscapes which paste in music usually do so because the recordists fear the natural sounds alone won't hold the listener's interest. On the opposite side musicians sometimes include sound effects to try to distract the listener from sub-par music.

Neither strategy guarantees success.

David Rothenberg's quartet consists of clarinet, guitar, bass and small percussion playing indulgent new agey "jazz lite" with spoken poetry over about half the tunes.

The quartet's guitarist Douglas Quin brought with him several field recordings of birds, frogs, wind & weather. There is no apparent connection with the music or the words being recited.

The combination though well-meaning never rises above the drearily ordinary.
