Well, time to lay a few ghosts to rest. There are no noises off to distract during these performances.
After all the nonsense early on in this thread it was with a sense of trepidation that we settled down to spin this disc for the first time. The nervous tension that accompanied the performance ... more |

Sometimes more is less. The more one searches for words to describe this disc the less adequately they seem able to convey it's sheer dynamic intensity, vitality and sensory shock. "Shock and Awe" about sums it up for this listener.
