  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".

Beautiful Performance Thu., Nov 24, 2005

Like A Blessing of Tears before it, and the 2005 tracks from Love Cannot Bear,
this set focuses on reflective, slightly mournful sounds. Except
for a little distortion on a couple of tracks, the sound Read more

A suggestion for DGM. Create screensavers of the photos for each show
that is purchased. That way I can watch a slideshow of this show’s
photos while I listen to the music. Read more

A Tasty Gig Thu., Nov 30, 2000

My friend and I thought these were some of the most
finely-wrought Soundscapes we've yet heard, musically speaking. They just keep
getting better and better. The flash
photography (and even covert videotaping from someone up on an upper Read more
