Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

What if parts of your body--such as your hands for instance--suddenly decided that they wanted to sever their connections with you and be free? This is the horrifying premise of Clive Barker's "The Body Politic" from his 1984 collection The Inhuman Condition. Conway's narration is vivid and perfectly paced to heighten the suspense of this frightening tale of bodily rebellion. Music and 3-D sound effects complement the verbal performance. All things considered, this is an enjoyable, first-class presentation from a master of bizarre horror stories. R.A.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: Body Politic in 3-D Sound from the Inhuman Condition (Audio Cassette)

This presentation really shows the potential of 3-D audio. It's all in the details. I was listening to this on headphones (the only way to get the full effect), and at one point a cuckoo clock goes off behind your right ear.

I turned around to see where it was! And I was outside!

It had nothing to do with the plot, it was just a little showing off on the part of the technicians, but that made it for me. As well, the scene at the end just envelopes you in the sounds of the hands.

I highly recommend it.
