| 3.0 good | Iai EMERITUS | April 25th 11 |
Deep, dark, cavernous, and heavy. Truth be told, it's tough to get through, especially the first track, which is entirely acapella and shifts slowly through textures in a way that reminds me of Ligeti's micropolyphony, only not quite as interesting (perhaps purely because it's not as dense, with the appeal coming more from the sound of the individual voices; and while that is impressive, it's hard to string out your disbelief for 24 minutes). The second track introduces rattling, clanging percussion which, while just as sparse, gives the voices a framework which up the ante considerably. It's certainly worth a shot if you're interested in religious music though, or if you just want something that way out of your comfort zone - it's unlikely you'll have heard much like this. I certainly don't feel like I have.
