Eclectic and electric September 12, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is one of my favorites of several Kronos CDs, the only piece here that I usually have to skip being Scott Johnson's setting of a talk by I.F. Stone (and there's nothing wrong with what Stone says, it's just that the interminable repetitions Johnson edits into it are almost unbearable!). There's a snap and sense of fun here that makes it different from some Kronos collections, although the final cut by Pandit Pran Nath is a bit on the lugubrious side. John Zorn's piece, quirky as usual, is a highlight, as is Steven Mackey's contribution (including his arrangement of Willie Dixon's "Spoonful" and his electric guitar on "Physical Property"). Maybe I should give it 4 and a half.
