An adventure worth taking...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"this is def not for everyone, but if you've liked mira's eariler stuff, this is essential;

brilliant in places, ambitious. melodic, noisy. great contrasts betweent the organic and the electronic

(boys choir, orchestra, piano, samples).



i found her last cd ("3 commissions") more interesting than listenable. this cd is BOTH interesting and listenable.



highly recommended!"
