CD Reviews

Glass At His Best
directions | Space Time Foam | 10/11/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This was a transitional period for Phlip Glass. After Einstein on the Beach, his high water mark, he decided to gradually alter his style and eventually shifted away from minimalism to a more operatic and symphonic style. However, "Analog" captures his experiments with minimalist organ has the complete soundtrack to the film "Northstar" about a sculptor's works (I believe this is out of print) which condenses his minimalist style to pop song length. That is followed by two pieces from an ep for the Soho News. The peak of this issue is "Mad Rush", an unreleased piece from the time that lives up to his name. Also "Analog" belatedly realizes the fact that many fans of Glass (mine included) prefer his music on analog organs, rather than digital (which sound cold in comparison) synths or acoustic reissues of early analog pieces."
Recycled Glass

"This is yet another release that is mostly stuff already released. Why can't Orange Mountain stop ripping us off and just stick to actual releases of something that is not 80% recycled? Not saying all there released music is recycled, but a lot is. Philip Glass sucks now anyways, he doesn't even compose or play the original minimalist stuff that got him recognized. Now all he does it compose long, boring operas and uninspired symphonies, that no one seems to honestly like, even though no one has the integrity to tell Glass that this music sucks. Is everyone afraid of hurting poor old Glass's feelings or something? If you do not already own North Star, then this album may be a good buy, but if you do own North Star and other stuff like Solo Piano - then you are basically just buying stuff you already have, except for a few songs. Why not just buy the individual MP3's?? No reason to keep buying duplicate songs from all these releases! For the record, I still love the old Philip Glass music!!"
Recycled

"The music is great, but I already have all of it, and have had this in some cases for decades. North Star has been available since the 70's and one can still procure it online. Dressed Like an Egg is nothing more, as best I can tell, than Another Look at Harmony, Part IV, which was released a few years ago on CD. Mad Rush has also been around for ages, and certainly isn't a significant piece.



So the music's great, but this album is misleading. None of this is "analog," in any sense of the word. Nor is it newly discovered music or even newly released music."
