5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely beautiful, April 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Passing Measures (Audio CD)
This is one of the most beautiful discs I've heard in a while -- continuing in the tradition of Brian Eno's live "Music for Airports" record (Lang is one of the co-founders of Bang on a Can), it's a slow, very slow, movement through orchestral shimmering magic. It's in the ambient tradition, but it'll sneak up on you and grab your attention when you're least expecting it -- though it will do so in its own slow, aching way... it's also beautifully recorded, i give it a huge recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars On a level with Gavin Bryars' works...., April 11, 2006

This review is from: The Passing Measures (Audio CD)
If you like the quiet moving beauty of Gavin Bryar's Sinking of the Titanic, then you will likely love this masterpiece.

I installed this CD in my car (which I use too much for work) and was instantly removed from the mundane. This is a quiet piece (the CD is one long hymn)but not so hushed that it doesn't counteract the sounds of motoring. A very rare find indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars shimmering, beautiful, timeless, July 11, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Passing Measures (Audio CD)
reminiscent of Morton Feldman but more lush, more "ear-candy" if you will. the composition seems like a single perfect moment stretched and extended and each time i play it i never want it to end.
