Bell Orchestre's first effort "Recording a Tape the Colour of Light" was about 2/3 excellent, with some really innovative composing and sound contruction. The other third tended toward unlistener-friendly process music where the result took a back seat to the process.
Well, sorry to say their second CD is all of the latter and almost none of the former. There is a lot of formless mucking about, and some truly heinous racketing, and way too much stuff that sounds like Philip Glass (i.e. process music).
It ain't good when I start checking "time remaining" during the first play-through, and abort during the last track. I'll give it a few more spins this weekend to see if it grows on me, but I'm not holding out much hope.
