5.0 out of 5 stars Crossover Sensation!, May 19, 2001

This review is from: Lost Objects (Audio CD)

The maverick composers David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe hit cult status with this crossover classical-rock event, premiering in 2001 at the Dresden Music Festival. Musicians from Bang on a Can, a rock combo, and the baroque orchestra Concerto Koln blend beautifully. It's exquisite music, and it tells some amazing stories--the track "We Were Enveloped" takes off from a letter from explorer George Mallory, who vanished into the swirling snow in 1924 and was just discovered on Mount Everest. The letter was to his wife, Ruth, and this is ONE SPOOKY TUNE! "Not Our Darkness" sounds like Jimi Hendrix accompanied by a choir of angels."I Lost a Sock" is an ethereal meditation/lamentation. You can't lose with this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars An album worth listening to, February 23, 2002

I thought this album was very different and I enjoyed listening to it. I actually heard the first track "I Lost A Sock" during a Music Theory test (My Professor is the Contemporary Ensemble director at my college). I reccomend this album to anyone who's in the mood for something different.

3.0 out of 5 stars Annoying/Beautiful, July 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost Objects (Audio CD)

Perhaps the most intense sensation we have received from "minimal" music such as that contained within this CD is music's new ability to at the same time annoy and inspire.
