Finally, a great live metal recording for 2003!.......2003-06-18

Huge production and a sigh of relief when this fell into our hands from japan! No one has done it better than Anthem, and this cd rocks as hard and is as well recorded as "loudness'-8186 live! Start of with great tracks and then get your heart beating to a stellar (hate that word) remake of "machine made dog"! Power, lust and no earplugs, this is absolutely blowaway...

From Solo Piano Publications.......2006-06-15

"Through An Open Window" is a fascinating collection of suites of piano solos by four contemporary American composers and performed to perfection by Lucy Wenger. The music varies from melodic and rhythmic to atonal and abstract, and yet the CD holds together well as a cohesive listening experience. Most of the thirty-three pieces are relatively short, providing a sampler of each composer's work and showcasing Wenger's extraordinary playing. This CD is very definitely contemporary classical music, so if you are looking for "ear candy" or massage music, this will probably not be a good fit. Some of the music could be challenging for the casual listener, but more serious music lovers will have much to savor and enjoy.

The CD opens with Paul Schoenfield's delightful "Six Improvisations on Hassidic Melodies." Hassidism regarded the expression of exuberant joy and union with God as primary religious duties, and this is clearly reflected in the music. "Ufaratsta" is a joyous dance that spins, twirls, and kicks up its heals. "Achat Sha'alti" is more of a prayer, with a darkly gorgeous melody and simple structure. "Vay'hi Vishrun Melech" has a bit of a military feeling about it - or perhaps a royal procession of sorts. "Kozatske" and "Rikud" are euphoric dances - these are really great and make my fingers itch! "Nigun" is a quiet, meditative melody. I like this suite so much that I'm looking for the sheet music.

The second suite is Janice Giteck's "Tara's Love Will Melt the Sword," which is dedicated to and addresses two female manifestations of Buddha. I am also looking for the sheet music for this suite because of the emotional power of the music. "Light suspended" is dark, bittersweet, and searching. "Tear' drops'" is my favorite track of the album. It is very dark and mournful, but not without hope. "Rocking, blue interior" picks up the pace a little and is very intense and passionate. "Affectionately outward" brings a bit of resolution to the suite - it's not bright sunshine, but does feel a bit more optimistic.

Bill Rea's "A Dissimulation of Birds" is a group of six pieces composed around the names of the birds found in the Book of Saint Albans. I especially like "An Ostentation of Peacocks," which really struts its finery until it becomes a grotesque caricature of itself. This is really a fun piece to listen to when you know what Rea was describing. "A Watch of Nightingales" is much quieter and more peaceful, as is "An Exalting of Larks."

Alan Hovhaness' "Sonata: Fred the Cat" is a commissioned work for a beloved pet. Comprised of four short movements that range from playful to reverent, this is also a very interesting work.

The final thirteen tracks are Bill Rea's "Variations on a Irish Song (Down by the Salley Gardens)." Most of these tracks are shorter than two minutes and several are just under or just over a minute. The original theme weaves in and out - sometimes recognizable and sometimes not; sometimes simple, sometimes complex. Fascinating!

"Through An Open Window" is highly recommended to those who enjoy and appreciate contemporary classical piano.

Great live improvisation.......2006-02-24

If you liked Killing Time, you should also like this. It's a bit more laid back (which is like saying something isn't as hot as molten steel) with more of a funk groove in Laswell's bass lines. Frith provides his usual oblique, edgy guitar work, and there is nice group interplay. The recording appears to have been a DAT right off the soundboard. It was everything I'd hoped it would be.

Fantastic.......2003-04-30

I have listened to this one about 5 times and still haven't scratched the surface on all it has to offer. Many many great moments as you would expect from a Massacre album. I still love "Killing Time" but this is a great live offering and a super nice follow-up to "Funny Valentine" GET IT!

Classic stuff.......2002-06-18

I found this unexpectedly in the Dublin branch of Tower Records. For once - for once! - I had the clerk asking me whether I thought it might be good. Being a longterm Fred Frith fan, I answered in the affirmative, but the only other Massacre album I own is their 1980-or-so "Killing Time". While that was an indeed stonking output, this album knocks spots off it.

Recorded at a live gig in London in the summer of 2001, Massacre have never sounded or played better. The rhythm section, Charles Hayward and Bill Laswell, churn away with funky inventiveness, but the real drama is provided by the indomitable Mr. Frith on guitar. His chunky, clanky, whiny, seemingly-low-tech but highly emotional guitar sings and burps and coughs and roars over the backdrop as if Fred Maher had never been the original drummer. This is some of the finest rock improvisation you are ever likely to hear, and you don't need a PhD to appreciate it. Top marks to John Zorn for releasing it on his Tzadik label, still one of the best places to hear good new music. But higher marks still for the lads, Messrs Frith, Hayward and Laswell, for playing it all in the first place.

The best album of 2001, unless anyone can persuade me to the contrary.

Total Meltdown.......2001-12-04

I really love the energy of this band. '98's "Funny Valentine" was amazing, but this live album is the best. This is Massacre stripped of the comfort of the studio and thrust into the void of a surreal live performance. This music is spontaneously improvised and it's just charged with creative alchemy. Highly recommended...

"Heat You Up Melt You Down" was originally a hit for Shirley Lites on the classic West End Label in the early 80's. It was a huge hit in the clubs and marked the change over from disco to electro. Now Alisha King has got her hands on it, and with Almighty, has produced some energized, as well as authentic style mixes. A must-have for fans of Hi-NRG dance music!

A strange collection with some real gems.......2004-08-13

Leonard Warren was a baritone noted mostly for the power of his dark baritone voice, but he could also sing quite sensitively as this collection proves. Unfortunately, he does NOT sing sensitively in the heavy-handed, old-fashioned readings of Handel, Bach, "Aamarilli" or "O del mio amato ben," but his performances of tracks 3, 7, 9, 10, 13, 17-22 and 24 are superb. Especially interesting is his baritone version of the tenor specialty "Mattinata," which he turns into an intimate love ballad...I have never heard the like, and it is surprisingly effective. In the arias, of course, Warren is in his element; the "Faust" is sung much like Alexandru Agache in the Rizzi recording, and "Nemico della patria" is a predictable tour-de-force. William Sektberg's pianism is competent and perfunctory, nothing more. American-based singers of this era (among them Steber, Merrill and Bjorling) didn't exactly use the best pianists most of the time; the singing was the focus of things. Recommended, then, with a few reservations.

Most certainly high up in the mountains, sitting on a porch or stomping your feet at a Saturday night get together in the barn.......2005-11-25

A review from Mark Gensman (Ground Zero Sound) written for the 800+ member Nwbluegrass Yahoogroup:

I got this CD in today and rather than take my normal sweet time, I decided to spend some time with it this afternoon.

First off, for you old timey, traditional bluegrass lovers. This is your CD. Even though there are several original cuts on the disc, the flavor is most certainly high up in the mountains, sitting on a porch or stomping your feet at a Saturday night get together in the barn.

The band is:
Patrick Walsh on upright bass
Jamie Dawson on mandolin
Lynda Wittig on guitar
Kyra Moore on banjo
Matt Hooper on fiddle

Kickin Grass is a group that started out backing a cloggers group and has since taken off on their own to great acclaim. They are from North Carolina and from the liner notes are getting popular in the festival circuit. I can see why they would be a great live band.

The CD appears to be a representation of how the band really sounds. But that brings up my only complaint and it really has nothing to do with the band. The overall tone and volume of the vocals was at times shrill and frequently distorted. If it was a case where the instruments were also distorted, I would think I got a bad CD, but the instruments were warm and present, while the vocals were not mixed or mastered properly at all and the volume of the vocals was uneven throughout the CD.

That said, as long as you play this CD at fairly low volume, the sonic problems may not be noticable..but about the band..

Really nice arrangements, good pickers and lots of energy which is hard to do in a studio. Here is the breakdown:

1. Left This Town - A nicely done original with a lot of traditional flavor. I really like the songs this band writes and they play with that barn dance energy that works well here.

2. Life Is Not A Guarantee - A very well done original ballad with strong old timey flavor.

3. Backroads - Another original. A great fiddle break and another up tempo bluegrass style romp.

4. Jokers Wild - Nice instrumental. This tune gives me an idea of how good they must be live, since it sounds like they are playing the song like they always do it.

5. Hello Trouble - Good bluegrass music with this uptempo spirited tune. Good fiddle break and nice tone on the instruments.

6. Sparrow - Another original with good lead vocal part. The Banjo is very nicely recorded and is actually "warm" if that isn't an oxymoron. The harmony vocals get quite shrill and a little distorted in spots. Great
arrangement.

7. Clinch Mountain Backstep - A well done traditional bluegrass tune. Very interesting doubled mandolin break that stands out from the other instrument breaks.

8. Little Piece Of Cornbread - Another excellent original written by Lynda Wittig. Very interesting mix with the vocals way behind the instruments and the words hard to discern at times. The instrument breaks are quite a bit louder than the lead vocal which is interesting at best.

9. Fire On The Mountain - This reminds me of a Neil Young ballad. Very tasty instrument backing and the breaks are really well done. The lead vocal is slightly distorted but I could see Neil Young doing this song.

10. Morning Train - Yet another original from Lynda Wittig. I must admit I am very impressed with the way this lady writes songs. They are very well crafted. This song sounds like a traditional Appalachian Mountain porch ballad with great harmony. The vocals are really, really loud and slightly
distorted (again) and uneven, but that does not mean the band didn't sing a great song.

11. Troubled Life - An original bluegrass style gospel song. Good harmonies but that dreaded distortion shows up again on certain parts of the lead vocal.

12. Black Mountain Flag - Traditional tune done well. The instrumental songs are well mixed, with good balance and nice tone for all the instruments.

All in all, a good band for those who prefer traditional bluegrass with old timey flavor and high lonesome vocals.

I would enjoy this band live, and I only wish more attention would have been given to the production.

The CD was produced by Steve Dilling of IIIrd Tyme Out and recorded at West Station Records. (Mark Gensman, Ground Zero Sound)
