The funniest Schickele piece ever!.......2006-05-23

My experience with the 1712 Overture is similar to Victoria's (in another review). I was listening to the car radio when I heard the dissonant pile-up halfway through, and almost drove off the Interstate.

It should be noted that the Amazon listing is incorrect. The 1712 Overture is in reality conducted by "Walter Bruno" who is actually David Zinman. It is most assuredly not conducted by Bruno Walter (can you imagine that?), who died in 1962.

Highly recommended.

P D Q on form again.......2005-07-20

P D Q has quite a cult following among the 'cognoscenti', and others may know some of his works without being aware of it or why. Much of this is fun listening if you have that kind of mind &/or background, and has the virtual ring of period authenticity.
Classical music, like any living corpus of cultural tradition (eg religion, sport & politics) should be well capable of laughing at itself. Others have done so successfully (Hoffnung, Spike Jones, the Comedy Harmonists et al.) and PDQ follows in a worthy & rollicking tradition!

beware of the organ cadenza!.......2005-05-18

This is my favourite PDQ Bach collection. The 1712 Overture alone is worth the price of admission. The use of the motif from 'I Ain't Got No Home' is inspired and the skewering of 'Day Tripper' reduces me to helpless giggles every time.

Einstein on the Fritz is a tonic to anyone sick of the pretentious meanderings of Philip Glass, Taverner et al. And Cappricio La Poucelle de New Orleans (engineered by Burt Bach, a living direct decendant of JS Bach) is frighteningly intense, as well as hysterical. These musicians are also terrific - the pieces wouldn't work at all otherwise. And who couldn't love the rapturous intro to The Preachers of Crimetheous - featuring the most incredible percussion playing since Ginger Baker's 'Toad'.

All in all, this is a completely ridiculous delight!

Another assault to your funny bone!.......2004-04-12

P Schickele does it yet again! He successfullly skewers the classics again. My personal fave is Einstein On The Fritz, where he does a wonderful job of spoofing Philip Glass.....Only the Prof. is so twisted as to be able to sneak in 'Three Blind Mice" in the middle of a Glassian composition!

PDQ Bach at his best (worst).......2001-11-13

Mr. Schickele is a genius, he's taken music history and disgraced it, apocryphally!
the 1712 overture pokes fun at just about every type of music out there, and what the 1712 doesn't defile, the rest of the tracks on this CD pick up the slack.

This incredibly irreverent album is a must for music lovers everywhere!

Customer Reviews:

Ambient Grind?.......2003-08-23

This cd is the most ambient of Godflesh, but to some extent, the most mature. A lot of ambient can get boring or far too repetitive, but this album is of course, done in complete Godflesh style. Some people complain this album is TOO repetitive, which is one of the things I stated it didn't suffer from. It merely suffers from successfully creating a mood and sticking with it and building off of it. If you have your doubts, purchase this album used for much cheaper and regret you didnt get it shrinkwrapped :)

Customer Reviews:

EXCELLENT CRUST !.......2005-08-01

A 75'discography cd.The songs are in chronological order.The first 40'of the record (the older stuff),grindcorish,brutal,relentless crustcore, absolutely rule,not only musically but sonically.The bottom end is so strong it'll give your woofers a very hard time.The performance is above par for a crust band,especially the bass player who not only introduces some rare-to-hear-in-the-style harmonies and intricate lines but also sounds like he's playing with his fingers.From track 17 on (there are 35 in all) the live stuff beggins and sloppiness settles in.The sound is still very good but that does'nt help.Don't get me wrong I love live records but this live part of the cd is monotonous and boring to the point it does'nt even sound like the same band anymore,especially for the gorgeous dual male/female vocals which seem to muddle up into just one voice (which on the other side is quite buried in the mix,giving extra power to the instruments).30 to 35 are more 7''s in the same style and a listenable demo to close the cd.The first part of the record is more than worth the bucks and if you don't mind some sloppy playing you might even enjoy the live portion as well.

Best Hardcore group ever!.......2003-07-25

I've listened to Antischism since their first 7", all the way through their CD releases and their spin off bands (Initial State, etc.). This is definitely worth the purchase. The CD is a little strange in that there are mutliple versions of the same song, but all-in-all it's worth it. The "live studio recording" of Greedy Bastards is perhaps my favorite track. You can tell they really mean it when they scream, "Let not another tree fall in the name of greed, not one more tribe be civlized for the lust of money!"

another crucial selfless release.......2000-05-02

this isn't as heavy as dropdead, but it's better than the trendy, fly-by-night-rap-if-we-want hardcore scene of today... antischism breathed new life into the scene in the same way that cro-mags and agnostic front did

Awesome!.......1999-03-27

Dual vocals (guy and girl) screaming politically driven lyrics over hardcore music... they spawned a new genre apart from traditional hardcore which was getting stale. If you find anything by them, buy it... especially the live stuff. Their energy wasn't captured as well in studio efforts.
