4.0 out of 5 stars early Micus, May 8, 2001

This review is from: Koan (Audio CD)

The re-release of "Koan," from 1981 (but recorded in 1977), means that all of Stephan Micus's works are now available. This represents some of Micus's earliest material, and it suffers just a little bit from--uh--inchoateness. But no one can mistake the sound or the approach as being anyone but Micus, and again we are treated to nearly a dozen different and interesting instruments and their combination. And once again, as in all of Micus's music, there is the sincerity and breadth of emotional investment that makes him a breath of fresh air amongst all the commercial hype that we continually have to endure.

5.0 out of 5 stars El retorno a una cueva con murales, April 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Koan (Audio CD)

Imaginese llegando a una cueva con pinturas ancestrales. Piense en que música le gustaría oir en ese viaje a la historia, pero sumándole una capacidad musical arrolladora, exploradora y tumultuosa. Micus nos demuestra una vez más lo que la música debe ser: bella y comprometida.
