What do you mean, you never watched the show?

You don't need to have seen 2002's "Frontier House" to find this music absolutely beautiful. Composed by Edward Bilious and featuring the solo acoustic guitar-work of Kristoffer Ricat, Frontier House's music stands alone quite nicely, with a timeless acoustic fresh-air sweetness that it's hard to imagine any other early-21st century "reality show" would have offered.

Does knowing the premise help? Three modern families try to live in Montana Territory as if it were 1883. The music doesn't need to capture any of the conflict inherent in the set-up, and nothing "modern" intrudes here. This is the beauty of the soundtrack: were it not for the show, "Frontier House" would still work beautifully as a gentle, mountain-grown set featuring classical and steel-string guitar, fiddles, harmonica, autoharp and dobro. Full-diclosure: you will hear a bit of the old faux-19th-century synth-keyboards, but they don't take much away from the rest.

A very nice recording, overall. And -- for what it's worth, I've never seen "Frontier House" either, but I liked the music!

Beautiful, but too short

11/14/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Frontier House was my fav show this year and I was excited to get the music for it. The songs are rather short and it wasn't long enough in my opinion. However, the songs themselves are beautiful, with a slight country twang and some wonderful violin accompaniment. A perfect match to the show and its surroundings. I find myself listening to it over and over again."
