Product Description

This is an album of songs from 'Accidental Nostalgia (an operetta about the pros and cons of amnesia)' which was written and composed by Cynthia Hopkins, designed by Jim Findlay and Jeff Sugg, directed by DJ Mendel, and choreographed by Jordana Che Toback. It is performed live by Hopkins, Findlay, Sugg and the band Gloria Deluxe, and has been presented by St. Ann's Warhouse, On the Boards, and the Walker Art Center, with more presentations to come. The creation of this piece was supported by AS220 in Providence, Rhode Island; NEST rehearsal space in DUMBO, Brooklyn; the Whitney at Altria; MASS MoCA; the Perishable Theater in Providence, RI; and St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY; and funded in part by generous grants from the LEF Foundation of New England and a Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Award. It was also supported by artistic and financial donations from numerous individuals. Please go to http://www.gloriadeluxe.com for more information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edgy ,but beautiful, May 7, 2007

By	Dr. Teresa M. Sherry (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Saw the production on which this album is based and decided I had to have the music. Since then, I have passed it around to many friends who really enjoy it on its own merits. Makes me want to try more Gloria Deluxe.

5.0 out of 5 stars No time like the Present, July 13, 2005

By	S. J. SULLIVAN (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ms. Deluxe strikes again in this wistful meditation on what it is like to be a human being, among other Glorious topics. It goes without saying that you should buy this album for yourself and all your progeny, no matter what age. Many things in theory go without saying and so, in theory, I will not say them. But really, if you never said anything at all that went without saying then you wouldn't have much left to say, would you? So much of our chattering is just that - filling the air with blah blah blah and so forth and so on in some vain attempt to actually connect to another human being. As if. Oh well. Life is short and my fuse is even shorter so don't get me started. Just kidding. Anyway, I feel like I've gotten off the track a little, but that's my whole point - life is too short to stay on the track all the time. You'll get to the end of the track soon enough. So while you have a chance, why don't you wander off the track from time to time and look around? And that's exactly what Gloria and I mean when we say "Accidental Nostalgia." We mean that there is no time like the present. And there is no present like time.
