4.0 out of 5 stars a journey through textures..., February 9, 2003

By	"chillysalsa" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

The Kronos members give an honest and austere performance on this disc. The melodic structures allow them to showcase the ability to extract some truly rich textures from their instruments. The recording quality is very good, though not perfect - it lacks some of the visceral appeal that the best recordings have.

The music itself is deep and provocative, though not entirely engrossing, as there are some passages which are a bit labored. Overall, it's highly recommended for anyone who wants excellent contemporary string music.
