Review of The Minotaur

2008-05-05 03:14:54 by HASH0x8bb1c88 in Planet Hugill - Classical Music blog from Robert Hugill
 
...magnificently. As the opera opens Birtwistle under scores Ariadne's vocal line with a rich dark palette of orchestral sound, challenging the singer by the sheer volume of the orchestra. Though at times Rice got a surprising amount of the text over, I was glad that we had surtitles. Ariadne's vocal line, whilst never melodic, was always...

...magnificently abrasive manager, No booze, no trees, no telly, no cigarettes, and blokes walking round with toilet rolls sticking out of their ears - what kind of a place is this Listen, were the Fall, shouts Marc Riley , with a twinge of desperation. Not the Falls roadies, the Fall. Were famous in England, honest. I get me head kicked in for...

Feu Therese on fire?

The Article has images The Article has embedded video
2007-12-14 22:18:48 by Kimberly Chun in SFBG: Noise
...magnificently Unfortunately, Feu Therese seem to be lacking in the music-video department, but I did find some pretty astounding footage of the band tearing it up with Damo Suzuki onstage. I never did get around to bringing up Can in all of my speechifying about the many wonders of Feu Therese, but once youve seen this, itll all make sense

2007-11-30 01:11:00 by The Pop Cop in The Pop Cop - on the beat of the Scottish indie music scene.
...magnificently it has to be said, managed to add a dose of authentic retro trance (think QFX anthem Freedom) to the usual guitar-bass-drum set-up - and it doesn't half make for a riotous combination The youngsters, currently being featured in XFM Scotland's Uploaded new band spot, are definitely worth keeping an eye out for. Now, where did we...

2007-12-27 11:06:02 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...magnificently pompous synth and chorale piece which can roughly be described as To the unknown man meets Chariots of fire. The slow marching rhythm builds majestically Vangelis floating his synth in and out between the voices While much of the rest of the album is dominated by the almost ambient sounds of Vangelis synth, the choirs do return...

From 1980, here's magnificently coiffed former teen idol Rex Smith and his thrash metal classic "Woman A coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the reader who first divines the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Listomania (which, incidentally, will be going up a tad later than usual, as I'm off to Gomorrah on the Hudson for...

ANEKDOTEN - Vemod (1993) [rated 3/5 by ZowieZiggy]

...magnificently powerful, yet the déjà vu feeling is impossible to avoid Their debut album is a good one. I wouldnt say that it is a masterpiece. If I could, I would rate this album with seven out of ten, just shy of the fourth star rating. But you might like it better if Crimson is one of your absolute fave (which is not my case) and if...
