5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and Interesting, January 13, 2001

This review is from: Westlake: Onomatopoeia (Audio CD)

Many interesting musical ideas, at times reminiscent of Stravinsky. "Entomology", a high point on the recording, uses actual samples of insect noises to create a wide soundscape of the insect world.
