5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb album!, January 31, 2010
This review is from: Nowever (Audio CD)
I play synthesizers myself, and can perceive excellent quality keyboard work very well; this is excellent synthesizer and vocal music! I've long been an ardent fan of E.E. Cummings. Cummings is no less than a super sage; he understood life holistically... probably way more so than most of the religious giants and sages of the past and present. The album is beautiful; it incorporates a multitude of voices from various people... from innocent children to older, sagacious-sounding adults; this all-inclusiveness is what Cummings would have cherished! This album is a true joy to listen to. It blends Cummings' genius with bubbling, joyous sounds that help to widen the experience beyond mere words (as mere symbols). This is one of my favorite albums. It is truly unique and it is truly done with flowing musical talent and a keen ear of immovable, life-wondrous joy! My only complaint is that in one song-poem, the poetry-lyrics inadvertently leave out the word "than". It should be read-sung as "may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living, whatever they sing is better than to know"...not as "whatever they sing is better to know." It's Sunday, as i am typing this, and i suppose that one little flaw is not anything very significant in the overall scheme of things! As Cummings wrote: "and even if it's sunday may i be wrong, for whenever men are right they are not young."
Do yourself a favor... and get this album!
P.S.- To hear a sample of my own synthesizer music, if you'd like, go to YouTube and do a search on "Kite Tricks, Bees, and Synthesizers"; the music is all composed and played by me... and i'm doing all the kite tricks.
