Somewhat disappointing.......2006-11-21

I'm normally a big fan of Sequentia but I was disappointed in this CD. Most of that has to do with so much of the music being performed with male voices. The liner notes address this saying that the male voices are used here as a commentary to contrast with the female voices, and that the manuscript was available to the larger community so would have had a both males and females using it. Perhaps that is true, but given that so much early music performance is dominated by male singers, I was looking forward to hearing the women of Sequentia and their interpretation of the pieces from the codex. Seriously, if I need contrast from female voices, I can listen to any of dozens of all-male early music ensemble recordings. I realize this is purely a personal expectation of mine, but it did rub me the wrong way that less than half of the CD is performed by the female ensemble. Putting the gender issue aside, I found the performances dry and uninteresting regardless of whether the piece was sung by the male or female ensemble. I would recommend the Huelgas ensemble recording over this one for both the makeup of the ensemble as well as the quality of performance.

Product Description

This is pure corn-fed discontent. Former Iowa resident Arecee releases his second record, "Beating a Dead Horse", under NYC's Collekt Records in Brooklyn, New York. His dark melodic beats and thick delivery are a refreshing alternative to today's bubblegum thug rap and purist hip-hop. On the track titled 'Breathe Deep' we hear a glimpse of a tragic past romance gone sour while the up-beat 'Round and Round' features hip-hop heavyweight Supastition. In 'Life is Cartoons,' Arecee proclaims that "hip-hop is stupid"; after watching MTV, I couldn't agree more. Lush self produced beats and deeply personal lyrics make this release a breath of fresh air in today's copycat music industry. Arecee's first release, "Direction for Children" featuring Sage francis, is currently in stores.

if it walks, talks, and quacks like good hiphop well it must be. don't even think about it. just buy it. arecee's second official release shows what hard work and dedication bring to the struggling sound of current hip POP. if you need respite from the inexplicable crap flooding the scene and stinkin up the charts, this is your album.
