4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Rhys Chatham Compendium (Audio CD)
Rock instruments amassed in orchestral-size forces. It wallows in that strange area where minimalism and classic rock music unconsciously make their closest approaches to each other. Definitely reminescent of Branca.
A couple of times, while listening to this CD, I would think to myself "That was a really interesting piece, but then it ended so abruptly. Why doesn't he ever develop any of his ideas?" Then I would remember that I'm listening to a CD of excerpts. I'll be buying the 3-CD set when it comes out.

...except for the snippets here, which sound great. But I just thought people might want to know that this disc is a sampler for an upcoming box set (three CDs, I think). On the box set, some or all of these songs will be available in versions of greater length.
