Customer Reviews
Simply Fabulous!
I wrote this review under a different name and password that I since have lost and thought I would start fresh with a new account, so getting to the review:
If you are one who believes that music ought to be made with guitar, bass, drums and maybe some keyboards only. DO NOT BUY THIS CD!!! However, if you are open to music which is made utilizing natural sounds and processes these sounds to express musical ideas then this cd may be for you. Much of the cd is expressed utilizing ideas and techniques commonly found in avante garde, musique concrete and electoacoustic soundscapes. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes abstract and dark this often overlooked cd takes you on a journey to places previously unknown and some more familiar places. Individual breakdowns of songs would be pointless since this work is meant to be taken as a whole. The acoustic moments where Roger accompanies himself are great and are juxtaposed against the more abstract pieces brilliantly. To sum it up... If you are a fan of Floyd's leaning towards the abstract (ie found in sections of Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma) then you will probably be pleased with this cd. If your favorite Pink Floyd song is Money or Comfortably Numb, and listen to predominantly 70's classic rock, you probably will want to stay away from this one
Amazing Attempt
I've been all my life a fan of Pink Floyd and its members. The first time I listened to this album was an incredible experience, I really felt I was travelling through a body, and believe me, if the sperms are travelling like "more than seven dwarfs in penis land" what a wonderful life they must have.
An excellent try for those who are Floydian fans, or Progressive rock fans. If you'd like to experiment alone a marvelous journey, TRY IT NOW.
A Ron Geesin album
I won't repeat what other reviewers have already said so eleqeuntly about this (a-hem) Ron Geesin album, but I will add that while this recording may be of limited appeal to those who do not dabble in experimental music, Floyd fans withstanding, it is a what I would call a musical box of tiny chocolates where some of them taste weird, but you are at least glad you tried it. My only disappointment with this album is that the tracks are just too short. There are dozens of moments where things sound brilliant, but with the exception of the three traditional length songs on here (Water numbers of course) every moment is fleeting. Maybe that is the point or maybe it is just because this was a soundtrack.
