Essential Listening for fans of CAN
Howie | 05/13/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In the likely absence of further new works by CAN collectively, we listen to their work as individuals. Irmin Schmidt has brilliantly realized an operatic vision of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast. While showing the antecedents of Can and his studies with Stockhausen this, nevertheless, is a distinctive and breathtaking work that stands as a great triumph. The use of voice and the narrative structure of Opera lead to a greater unity and coherence of the work than in his improvisation based earlier work. The sweep of sounds that Schmidt elicits from the orchestra, instrumentalists and vocalists is stunning in its diversiy and consistency.I love it to death."
