    classical music should get this CD. Any classical music listener should get this CD. This album puts the energy of indie music into a classical context without alot of high mindedness that modern composers are burdened with and therefore making the music inaccessible to a outsider's ear. This CD can be a bridge between the classical world and the indie pop world. I believe that Rachel's is a very important band for our times and for the evolution of indie and classical music...

    Interesting band. For adventurous listeners who dig on Wim Mertens, Kronos Quartet, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, etc.

    The 2nd Rachel's CD that I have be exposed to and I have to say it was a great listen. The Music for Egon Schiele is by far the must have of this group.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Instrumental Musings
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2004
    This is my favorite album by Rachel's.

    The only part I dislike is the pause and churning noise as my discman readies itself to repeat the whole thing.

    "Rhine & Courtesan" is my favorite track. In it, emotionally charged stretches of music fade into quiet; with nothing but the sounds of sailboats.

    The use of volume is very important. The lapses into quiet encourage the listener to think of the record as a whole instead of a collection of tracks; to submerge her or himself into the brilliant, quirky world that narrates without words.

    The album is seamlessly put together. Each musician gives a peak performance, no shortcomings rupture the beautiful feel that it creates.

    I agree with the bands other viewers have referenced especially Tristeza, and also find this akin to Bright's quieter tracks.

    A Side Note:

    Also, check out one disc by ShiFt (not shift, nor Shift). Otherwise a terrible hardrock band, ShiFt put out one EP "A Folding Sieve", that starts of with a song "Rolling."

    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2004
    This is really a very good piece of music.At least it is very different from some famous post-rock bands that sound almost the same.I just don't find it how they belong to post-rock and why this group is recommended along with MOGWAI,EXPLOSION IN THE SKY or GODSPEED YOUR BLACK EMPEROR.The only band that I see some similarity in musical and stylistical approach is THE PENGUIN CAFE ORCHESTRA.Nevertheless,buy it!

    it's the sound of unfurling sails made by bed clothes, or the creaking of the ship's hold, where dishes rattle and waves reach across the bow, or the screeching of sirens across a ragged sea...this is so beautiful and inventive and the most wonderful aspect is one's complete immersion in it all-it is only later that one thinks logically about it. and by then it is irrelevant-you want to get back on board.

    Far too often music seems to be about scoring hits. A catchy melody, making sure that you reach your potential buyers as quickly and as often as possible. But then, there is this: a group of musical artists sitting down to make an album where rather than on the individual songs the main focus is on creating a mood and a plot: a one-hour story, very visual in character and with music that knows when to take a step back to make the listeners complete the experience.

    War Rachel's Music for Egon Schiele schon ein kleines Meisterstück, so setzt "The Sea and the Bells" noch einen drauf. Mit Klangfarben werden die schönsten Gemälde gemalt, es entstehen gefühlsintensive Kurzfilme vorm inneren Auge. Musik, die den Hörer fordert und herausfordert. Ein echter Geheimtipp!

    5.0 out of 5 stars CHAMBER POST ROCK
    Reviewed in Italy on December 10, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    affascinanti come pochi i Rachel's. Le loro atmosfere eteree figlie del neoromanticismo classico e delle istanze post rock dell'asse Chicago-Louisville sono davvero uniche. Certo i riferimenti a una band come la Penguin Cafe Orchestra sono più che evidenti ma una buona dose di originalità va riconosciuta alla band di Jason Noble in virtù di quei legami (labili certo) con la scena post hardcore prima citata. "The sea & the bells" è senza dubbio uno dei vertici della loro discografia, nebuloso, romantico, sognante. Musica da meditazione verrebbe da dire senza ovviamente nessun intento discriminatorio. O più semplicemente grande musica romantica, nel senso nobile e storico del termine.

    An incredible sound, and very difficult to find a label to put on it: is it noise-rock? Is it classical music? Well... For sure it' s a great record. A masterpiece

    ...... un po' pesante.
    Ho conosciuto i Rachel's inizialmente per "waters from the same source", un pezzo che mi ha veramente colpito.
    In questo disco quelle "fughe", se posso usare il termine non le trovo.
    Decisamente un disco da non ascoltare con leggerezza, direi un po' pesante.
