4.0 out of 5 stars
Intriguing... Puzzling..., November 20, 2005
This review is from: Robert Een: Mystery Dances (Audio CD)
Een appears to be another film composer (and member of Meredith Monk's ensemble?) whose primary investigation is sound textures. His repeating short figures draw on Phil Glass, David Borden, John Adams et al but I find his instrumentation - cello, congas and accordion - infinitely more interesting. The Monkish vocals become more and more of a minus as the CD progresses, but it's certainly an intriguing piece of wax. The "Dirge for Julius" wherein the singer phase-shifts over a melodeon is quite amazing, isn't it?
