5.0 out of 5 stars Another fine job., June 9, 2004

This review is from: Slaves Graves & Ballads (Audio CD)

This album is a drastic departure for David Longstreth, while remaining essentially the same. The album is split into two sections. The first 7 tracks are David working with a ten-piece chamber group called The Orchestral Society for the Preservation of the Orchestra. His distinctive warble works well against the beautiful orchestral arrangements, most notably in "(Throw on the) Hazard Lights". The latter portion of the cd is composed of sparse acoustic numbers, with few exceptions (e.g. "Weather I'm Under). Overall this cd is much more laid back than it's predecessor, but this does not imply lack of quality at all. Overall this is a wonderful album worthwhile of a listen, and most certainly a purchase.
