  From a fly on the wall May 10, 2007
Written by DavidCooke
This is a very welcome introduction to the LCG, as if the group were sharing their music-making as frankly as possible with us craftless listeners. Each of the three takes of House Symmetrical has its own identity. Subjectively, I found that the second take has the greatest impact; the musicians had the groove and were attacking it with redoubled commitment. The third sounds slightly more relaxed. The C major circulation comes as a relief after that worrying symmetrical scale. Are circulations always as serene as this? From a listener’s viewpoint, they seem to have the virtue of freedom from self-expression. The music can speak for itself as the ’player’ is the whole group rather than any individual. I’d wish the LCG5 spectacular success, if it wasn’t for that contract... as Groucho Marx said in A Night at the Opera, "As long he doesn’t sing too often, he can just break even".

This, the last performance of Robert’s "December Suite", is, for me, the most moving of the four released so far. While there does seem to be some search occuring here, some of the mournful longing found on the newer recordings Read more

Just coming back from holidays in South America. Your music brought me back there from the cold Netherlands. It looks, sounds and feels like the Chilean skies. Thanks.
