5.0 out of 5 stars Why You Should Buy This CD, February 13, 2004

Okay, so maybe you're not interested in soundtracks to plays or musicals. Well, guess what? Neither am I!

Bigsmorgasbordwunderwerk is neither pretentious nor "Broadway". It is a unique sonic experience (even when subtracted from the show) that blends skill with whimsy. If you like your music moody, moving, and just plain unusual, this is a fine choice to add to your collection. It is a tastefully-spicy dish you can't *not* like!

Bsbww is a very rich piece. The musical lines (vocal and instrumental) are very interesting. While seeing the show should be on your list, the CD is worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Opera of the Senses, November 5, 2002

This review is from: Bigsmorgasbordwunderwerk (Audio CD)

I have known about this amazingly creative theatrical troupe/musical group since the 90's, and I was lucky enough to finally be able to see their production of "BSWW" recently. The stage settings, artistry, and musicianship all blended together perfectly; the theme of the production is left up to the viewer to make what they will of it. The idea that I took away from it personally is that it is a "feast of the senses"-funny, dark, abstract, and even beautiful in some instances. The music flows along perfectly throughout, and Jody Abbott has an angelic, powerful voice that helps drive it all. Squonk Opera is art personified in all its most glorious forms, and they are an act not to be missed. I am proud to say that they are a local band/troupe, stationed out of their main base of Pittsburgh, PA.-I for one am so glad we have such a fantastic group of artists/musicians who are forever evolving in their craft. While this production is several years old, I am anxiously awaiting my chance to see their next production of "Inferno", which was just staged last year (the recently released cd is gorgeous-don't know if it can be purchased here or not as it is an independent...best to try their website). I highly recommend this cd to anyone who loves dreamlike, artsy/progressive music..and if you ever get the chance to see them perform live, don't pass it up!!! :-)
