4 out of 5 stars Brilliant But!!.......2004-08-22

I am amazed that they do not have the REFUGE cd listed on this site probably her best work by far.Recorded in Pleasanton.CA. and mastered in SF.CA. in 1997.
I have it and people if your a fan and have not heard this one your not geeting JB anywhere near her best until you have it.

5 out of 5 stars Still fresh - and relevant.......2002-03-16

"Women's music" is probably an overused term these days, but Jennifer Berezan still fits that bill as well as anyone does. While less conciously feminist than some of her other albums, this rootsy collection is infused with the same distinct personal and political sensibility that marks all of her work. With its low-key folk-rock melodies offsetting the intense lyrics, this is probably Berezan's most accessible album, and definitely her best in my opinion.

The songs vary widely in their tone and subject matter, but they all reflect Berezan's talent for economical and interesting lyrics. While the beautifully wistful title track and the more upbeat "Katie's River" reflect a sense of spirituality and a gentle concern for others, more topical numbers like "State of the Union," "When You're Young" and especially "One and One Makes Three," prove that Berezan is also capable of biting social commentary. (The latter, which touches on racism, corporate greed, AIDS, homophobia, talk radio and the "angry white male" phenomenon, is a remarkable summation of the ugly side of 1990s politics. I wish it were out of date, but it isn't!) Tucked among these, the short, melancholy "You're Gone" proves that Berezan is just as articulate in sadness as in anger.

But perhaps the collection's finest moment is the closing song, "Angel Boots," a tribute to finding strength and comfort in oneself and a nice reminder that being on your own needn't mean being alone. All of which is a good summation of Berezan's work in general. Nearly a decade after its release, this is still probably the best distillation of that work.

5 out of 5 stars Jennifer brings meaning to music!.......1999-06-15

This 2nd release of Jennifer's is a great collection of her music. She embodies a rare wisdom in both her words and music that is not commonly found in today's modern culture. The melodies are haunting and will touch your heart and soul. My favorite track is "Angel Boots". Her 3rd release from 1997 entitled "Refuge" is just as powerful and moving. She will soon be releasing her 4th album recorded in the 6000 year old Hypogeum in Malta, estimated release date is early fall 1999. Don't miss out on any of her recordings!

5 out of 5 stars The first major "infinity series" work plus two other fine pieces.......2005-11-22

This disc by Da Capo, Denmark's national music label, contains three orchestral pieces by Danish composer Per Norgard. Two are from his "infinity series" period of the late 60s and 70s and the third is his second violin concerto from 2002. Giordano Bellincampi leads the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra, with a spotlight on violinist Rebecca Hirsch in the concerto.

Per Norgard's great contribution to musical composition is the "infinity series", a amazing method of serializing melody that creates self-similarity among orchestral parts, an unsuspecting application of fractal mathematics to music. This principle was first overtly displayed in "Voyage into the Golden Screen" (1968), and listening to this piece is the best way to grasping the technique. The first movement of the two-movement work is a droning confrontation between two instrumental planes, one in G and the other in A flat. In the second movement, however, Norgard writes the entirety with the infinity series: a given melody is played by the flutes in what can be called "normal time", while the oboes play every fourth note, the trumpets every 64th note, and tubular bells, trombones, and piano ever 256th note.

As a result, the very same music can be heard at many different speeds depending on which orchestral group one concentrates on, and if one listens to the music as a whole one hears a blissful succession of notes that is predictable enough to be easily accessible yet contains many surprises. What Norgard did with this technique is marry what usually seems like two anthetical traditions, the mathematical complexity of the post-serialists (Boulez, Gubaidulina...) and the utter simplicity of the minimalists (Reich, Part...).

The infinity series again served as the basis for an entire composition in Norgard's "Symphony No. 2" of 1970, though this time in grander proportions, but Norgard soon came to understand that even stronger effects could be created by laying out the infinity series and then intervening in its otherwise exceptionless succession, so that new melodies arise from the basic melody. This he does in "Dream Play" (1975, rev. 1980), a music box-like piece where various instrumental parts contend with one another while still being subject to the ritual dance of the infinity series.

At the end of the 1970s Norgard's style changed completely from the large scope of the infinity series to an interest in schizoid collections of smaller components inspired by the Swiss mad artist Adolf Wolfli. "Wie ein kind" for choir of 1980 was the first work in this vein, and continued for a decade or so. But ultimately Norgard has reached a last style, using every technique he has ever learned, from the infinity series (now with previously overlooked alterations), to the violence of the Wolfli period, to a new use of rhythm and tempo. "Violin Concerto No. 2: Borderlines" (2002) is a product of this new era. Here, the orchestra uses two different keys, a seven or twelve-note scale as is common in traditional music, and a microtonal harmonics. The soloist is forced to constantly change his intonation to make some dialogue with the orchestra, creating a sense of danger and standing on shaky ground that gives the title of the concerto. This is the least immediately accessible work on the disc, but rewards the effort to understand its principles.

This disc is probably the best introduction to Norgard's infinity series technique. And since the infinity series is my favourite aspect of his music, I'd say it was a great introduction to the composer in general. One couldn't go wrong, however, with the Chandos disc with his sixth symphony and "Terrains Vague" either. A thoroughly awe-inspiring artist, I have no idea why Norgard hasn't gotten the same attention as many of the other important composers of today.

          Album Description

          Strong bluegrass, country-rock, and acoustic-rock sound and influences resembling early Eagles, Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Dillard and Clark, Neil Young, and Grateful Dead (Workingman's Dead era).

Borderlines features Mark on guitar, banjo, dobro, bass and vocals on tracks mixing bluegrass, country, rock, and blues influences. Mark is the younger brother of Bernie and Tom Leadon. Bernie is best known as an original member of the Eagles, and played in the Flying Burrito Brothers, Dillard & Clark, with Linda Ronstadt, Gram Parsons, Emmy Lou Harris, and many others. Tom played with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell in a Gainesville band called Mudcrutch, then played with Johnny Rivers, Linda Ronstadt, Silver, and others in L.A. Bernie, Tom, and sister Monica appear on the CD as well as several other veteran guest musicians. Mark spent considerable time in Nashville working on Borderlines with Grammy-winning co-producer, Robert Battaglia (Bela Fleck, others).

          Don't buy if you want real White Witch music. These guys are totally different people and their music doesn't compare. These aren't the guys that recorded albums on Capricorn in the '70s (White Witch, A Spiritual Greeting) that were re-released on CDs in 1999.
